Default DIC Performance not working????

Sorry for all the questions. Just bought this Vette. I watched a couple of YouTubes and they showed selecting different instrument cluster configurations from the PERF screen.in the DIC. I understand how to do it with the buttons on right side of steering wheel.However when I try to select that it just goes right back to the original configuration. In other words it doesn't show options for me to change to any of the others. Do they all have that? Mine is a 2019 Grand Sport 1LT

When you positioned the choice you wanted using the keypad you then have to press the select button also on the keypad before you press the left arrow key to return to Perf. If you don't press select it will revert back to your original option. This happened to me this weekend.

Highly recommend you take an hour and skim the owner's manual for areas of interest and read those sections. Will take way less time over the course of ownership than posting on here and waiting for a response.

I use the forum for odd things/issues the manual doesn't state. More efficient from a time perspective I think. Congratulations on aquiring what I think is one of the best cars ever!

Are you using the Track display? If Link to Drive mode is on the next time the car is started it goes back to Tour or Sport so you "lose" that display. You need to set your preferences to have the Track display regardless of drive mode. Might take watching a few more YouTubes and digging thru the owner's manual to get what you like all setup. The lack of a dedicated "save" button does make it confusing, in most cases the select button performs that function. Just understand that some settings over ride others and some screens are defaults you can't change leaving you chasing your tail as described.

Thanks for your answers. I must need a reflash, because I have tried most of these and still and still doesn't work. And Dennis I have read the entire manual and every piece of information that came with my car. Always the first thing I do when I purchase any vehicle. Also watched numerous YouTubes before I posted.

Turns out on the 2019's you change that under settings. Perf doesn't seem to have a function.

Not true. Go to the manual. That settings are different then the options on the DIC. You can set your display independent of the mode you have your vehicle set to. It's up to you how you want that setup. You could have it linked to drive mode if you choose to. I have mine setup to display sport mode in the display for any drive mode I choose. These 2 setups are different from each other. Also, the performance option on the DIC does have useful information it displays if you select the right arrow first and then select the up or down arrows to set the various displays.

Doesn't make any difference what arrow I select on the perf. It doesn't do anything but go back to what ever setting in on the instrument cluster. Mine has a settings clear at bottom of DIC. That's how I can change dash configuration. Also I don't find that any where in the manual. I play with it some more, but that's how it works for me.

Whatever you do, never sell that vehicle of yours. Your vehicle is an extremely rare Corvette that will be a collectors car someday and be very valuable. It's the only C7 Corvette on the planet to behave in the manner you have described. All other Corvettes have various displays when you toggle the up or down key when you select "Perf" of the DIC. See page 106 of the 2019 Owner's Manual.
