Default Name personalization?

In our C6, you could put your own personal greeting in the DIC instead of just "Driver #1", etc.

I'm only part way through the Owner Manual on our new C7, but haven't figured out how to do that yet and my wife is insulted that the car doesn't say Hello to her.

Car someone please tell me how?

That's a bummer! That's one thing I'm gonna miss when I trade my C6 for a C7, my startup message on the C6 says LIFE IS GOOD

Ya gotta wonder why they added 35 pounds to the infotainment system (GM info) and couldn't keep a nice feature like that.

Yeah, or change the wallpaper or startup screen. Those would've been fun little things. Oh well.
