I believe the one onboard screen with fuel economy shows a V8 or V4 logo. If you have the device plugged in, you should never see V4.

The link posted by Kel15 gives good guidance on finding the V8/V4 display.

Default ????????

Hi
My 2016 auto which l have had for 6 months stays in V8 all the time. I checked the port and it’s empty.. l tried everything under
the sun but it stays in V8. I have the device to keep it in V8 but the more l think about it the original owner must have altered
something. It’s fully loaded including magnetic ride and l can record when l want.
it does feel fast and l have had 5 vettes before this one.
Any thoughts

thanks
