I think you need Z51 package or performance exhaust installed along with Mag ride for those options to come to life in the settings.

When I took delivery I was told I would not be able to set the Z or My Mode until after the break in period. I didn't argue but was able to program both when I got home. I have performance exhaust but no Z51. I also thought for some reason driving on manual would be restricted but it is not.

My car has less than a 100 miles and I set up both my mode and Z mode. Z mode had settings for steering, exhaust, engine, transmission. suspension and brakes.

My Z Mode was set at the NCM during delivery. My delivery guy explained the Z and My Modes and we set them there.

Do you have the NPP exhaust option?
I have a non-Z51. I have NPP.
I can set the Engine Sound, Steering, Engine Shift, Brake Feeling, on the Infotainment\Settings.
Take a picture of your Mode Setting from the Infotainment\Settings.

You need performance exhaust to set exhaust sound, but Z51 isn't needed for the other options. Z51 with MSRC is needed only for the PTM settings.

Walter, are you sure it wasn't Engine Sound and Suspension that you can't set. Those would make sense if you don't have NPP (Performance Exhaust) and MSRC respectively. There is no option (or lack of an option) that would result in the steering not being adjustable.

if anyone believes a posted question is not worth their time/effort because the answer is in the manual….. they are free to ignore the question and just move along…..

If everyone read the manual half the forum would go away 😁😁😁

Not picturing what you're describing - you need to figure out how to post a photo - it's not hard (hint - select the upload button to the right of the happy face at the top of the quick reply box).

Attached is picture of my menu for Z-mode on my 2021 which is Z51 with NPP and mag ride. It appears as soon as I press the Z button on the steering wheel. All the parameters shown can be adjusted. I believe that the PTM bar only shows up with Z51+mag ride. I am pretty sure that in the past, forum members have reported that the suspension setting, and the engine sound settings show up on the display even if the car does not have mag ride and/or the NPP exhaust. I have speculated in the past about what those two settings do without NPP or magride, but won't right now. I believe also that this display is available on 2021-2023 - but not on 2020 models. It is a touch screen. Touch the bars to changes the settings. The name of the setting for each (track, tours, sport, stealth, etc) will briefly flash next to the bar when you change the setting.
