It was a failure. They said there were no updates to fix my problem. I got my Stingray back last night and it continues to malfunction regularly.

Since then, I have operated the wheel and waited. So far, it's been fine; but keeping an informed eye on it.

With all due respect it is not a question of learning how to use it. Yours may work just fine but many of us have ones that do not work worth a dang.
How do you explain turning the **** and the display moves in the wrong direction ????
It is NOT operator error. 90% of the time it works OK. 10% of the time it moves in the opposite direction or does not move at all.

Yes it seems some of our members think that we do not know how things work in the C7. This is not the case. The C7 has electrical/computer issues.
1.) Radio does not always find other media (I pod, usb stick etc)
2.) Mode selector switch does not switch modes correctly
3.) Sound management once turned off can not be turned back on
4.) Hesitation on hard acceleration (either trans or engine)
Unfortunately, the aforementioned do not happen on a regular basis, sometimes the car is fine.
When we complain to GM customer service we get no help and the dealers tell us the problem can not be duplicated or that is how it works.
It is very clear to me that GM has no intention of addressing our concerns.
Thank you Repo Czar quick for the response

Does this mean there is no fix for this? That at least some out of all users have a sometimes/much of time/all the time malfunctioning mode selector switch?

One selection change at a time. Hasn't acted up since the first week before I knew about the twist release method. Since I only use Sport and Turing it's no big deal for me since I'm only going one slot anyway.
