Default Dash display setting question

At Spring Mountain all the C7 dash displays look like this:



The temps and pressures are displayed in Track mode and Sport.
The reason told to us was that its more accurate and obvious to everyone what the engine is doing with numbers than graphs and bars.

I can get this display in ECO and Touring but not in Sport or Track.

Can anyone help me figure this out? I also have a message in to the Spring Mountain folks.

You have to disassociate your cluster setting from your drive mode and leave your cluster in touring. Its in a menu in the cluster settings.

Go to the settings for your dash from the menu on the left hand side, select display mode, choose touring mode. Then after you select touring mode, select "info" to be displayed. Use your up /down arrow to find that info, and it will show all the info, hope this helps

I suspect this is the new display now being used at Spring Mountain. This was part of the new electronic enhancements on new 18-19s, which adds more info on tire pressures, temps, and adds trans temp. The tire temp sensor now displays accurate settings for tire temp (e.g. cold, cool, normal, warm, hot).

As you can see below, the car is in Tour mode, but I have Track selected in DIC settings as the all the time display mode. I now use this 100% of the time, but I used to use the one you pictured on my 14.

Whoa, that looks sweet. I never use track, but I'm guessing my 2016 doesn't have those 4 gages (or even the tire rpessures under) under the RPM gage.

This display was all new in 2018. I have it up in every driving mode, which you can do by selecting Track as your all-the-time display setting. It's just like having NPP in Track all the time.

You can also do that in 14-17 MYs as well, but it won't have this particular display.

Use the left arrow and go to settings (bottom option).
Then scroll down to Display and choose the right arrow.
You should then have a selection for Auto, Sport, Tour and Track.
Pick the Tour mode. that should give you a display like the one in the picture.
Now go back to the menu on the left (Left arrow twice I believe).
Now arrow up to PERF and select it.
You should have the display as in the picture.

I have that exact same display setting and I have my car always in sport mode. I find it to be the most useful and well thought out

I have this view on my '14 except I just have a picture of a Corvette on the left under the Tach. Is there something I'm not doing to get the large speedo too or is this something changed in '16s and up?

I thank people who responded. I got a name at Spring Mountain - Rick Malone.
He called me and talked me through the settings.

For some reason the written responses didn't click for me.

Thanks to the guys at Spring Mountain.

Glad to hear you got that squared away. Rick Malone is a really good guy.

The Museum Delivery guy highly recommended what is now the older version in the pics and set it up for me, I still use it in my '17 GS and was familiar when I saw that they use it at Spring Mountain.

Just an observation on the battery voltage reading, don't panic if it hovers around 12 volts on occasion even without any load, nothing is wrong, the old 13.9 - 14.1 standard doesn't apply here, just the ECM doing its job. Another fuel saving feature I hear.

I too keep my 2018 in this new display, I do wonder what the guage to the right of the tire temps is for. Looks like a gear or something?

Just press the up/down steering wheel buttons to scroll through the available displays.

I tried my best to have this same display on my 2016 Z51 but.... it is just not possible....it is not available on the 2016 C7.
As you wrote ...this display became available with the 2018 C7.
I like your configured display.

I do like the upgraded display on the 18-19 models. Oh well, will just have to live with the one on my '14.

It's too bad they couldn't have integrated the battery voltage into that display. Makes it a no go for me.
