I'll have to look through my owner's manual again to find where that display configuration is (18 GS). I jump from instant mileage to tire pressure alot but would love to also see the temps (especially tire temps). I assume that is under performance and/or some track display (I usually have it in Sport display currently)?. Thanks Foosh!

Yes, it's a Track display. Set your display setting option to Track, and it will be up regardless of what driving mode you select.

I quit going 100mph+ on public streets (even for brief moments on open flat highways) when our government got the power to impound your car and charge you $10,000 with a 30 day license suspension. And it's so easy to do on my CBR600RR.

Wonder if this can be programmed in earlier years.

Foosh,

What year did this display become available, and has anyone inquired to see if there's possibly an upgrade, maybe like the MRC upgrade or something similar?

Maybe someone will ask Tadge, or has already asked him?

Just ordered my new 2019 C7 but when I bought my 2000 C5, I bought the great book "All Corvettes are Red". All about the development of the C5's.

One of the stories in the book was about the design of the Driver's Information Center, the "DIC". The engineering discussion was about how big the display should be.

Lots of discussion and back & forth in the room, but one of the engineer's yelled out: "If you own a Corvette, you don't need a big DIC".

Just thought that I'd throw that into the discussion...

Correct, this display was part of electronic upgrades starting in 2018 MY. I don't think the display updates are available for previous MYs because it's apparently more than just software. The underlying electronic components are different, and it's part of a larger package of changes. I'm sure GM could develop a 14-17 package with this display if they wanted to, but manufacturers almost never do things like that for previous MYs.

I know this because my DSC Sport MSRC controller is not fully compatible with my 2018 because certain electronic components are different than in my 14. It works in the main modes, but won't allow a change to PTM modes. DSC is still working on a fix.

this is the exact one I use as well, but typically I’m in sport mode.

i haven’t installed my DSC controller yet because of it. I’m waiting for the updated fix, then I’ll be installing it.

It works just fine in my 2018, but I do miss playing with PTM from time to time. It's still better in Tour, Sport, and Track than even the upgraded OEM MSRC calibrations. Mike will get it fixed because he has a ZR1 on the way.
