Bill, Thank you for the info. However, I’m still not able to get digital in tour mode. I played around and lost pocket gages. I got them back (accidentally). I got to the select tour mode but couldn’t reset to Performance mode. I’m doing something wrong or not understanding directions. Any suggestions.
Certain pages or read outs are only available in certain themes which are normally locked (via Link to Drive) to a given drive mode. For example the pocket gauges are only available with the Sport theme. So if the car is in Tour or Track and Link to Drive is on you'll never see them. So step 1 is to turn off Link to Drive mode, step 2 select the theme you want (Tour, Sport or Track) then select from the various pages of information.
I assume this is the one you want...
This is the Tour theme but in Sport mode ("S" at the bottom) showing the Performance page.
Here are my instructions again with a small revision that hopefully clarifies the process:
1. First, push the left button to highlight a vertical set of choices on the left side of the instrument panel display.
2. Second, push the bottom button to move the highlighted area down to the bottom choice: Settings
3. Third, push the right side button to select Settings and then use the top or bottom buttons to move the selection to Display Theme. 4. Fourth, push the right button to choose Link to Drive Mode, Sport, Track or Tour. 5. Fifth, select the Tour Mode 6th. After selecting Tour push the left button and then push the center button to move the indicator to Performance and then use the right button to choose Performance. Once there you will have the speedo with a vertical column of all the important instruments shown in an easy to read digital format.
Notice the 4th and 5th steps, you have to make the choice there. Choose Tour. Then your display will always be Tour no matter which drive mode your are in. The pocket gauges are sort of useless. On the 15 through 17 Z06s the only display that had coolant temperature was Tour. None of the other displays had it. This was corrected in either 2018 or 2019 when they had digital and analog displays of coolant temp in the track display. The Tour Display is usually the best one to use since it is easy to read at a glance although they could have used more of the space to make the font larger and easier to read for us older people.

Great details provided...however my 14 Stingray 3LT must be programmed different than your year\model as I cannot get the speedometer to display, only the white Corvette displays in its' place. I haven't driven the car until recently because of the cold weather here. I believe that the speedometer was displayed before I replaced the battery recently and of course, had to reset all the display parameters. I can get the right hand stack of 5 readouts but not the speedo at the same time. Can anyone smarter than me shout out?
Thanks, Ron

I think you found the answer - the displays have changed slightly over the years. My '14 is the same... you get the white car in the middle with the Touring theme + Performance display combo I have the HUD and the speed is always displayed up there so I don't even look for it in the dash anymore.
