C6's its customizable through the DIC...

I have seen the question posted on C-5 forums and nobody has cracked that case and publically posted a how too.

That would be awesome! The TrailBlazers with the DIC (Driver Information Center) do it as well, I would love to change it to something else though!

Dunno about ALL of the text. I do know you can add your your name or customized text after the "Corvette" gets done displaying.

No, what I meant is that TBs with the DIC display the startup message "TRAILBLAZER". At least my 02 does, I know GM changed the clusters a little in 03.

Ohh, and with the new bootloader I get a cool "Reflash In Process" (or similar) message.:notacrook:

I got your e-mail and responded but your e-mail bounced.

ON the DIC control, you press “option” and scroll through until you get to “Personalize Name”, press “yes”. Let’s do “cat rat”. Scroll through letters (pressing option button) until you get to “c” Press “reset”. Scroll to “a”; press “reset”, scroll to “t”; press reset, scroll to “blank space”; press “reset”, scroll to “r” etc. When you have "cat rat", press “reset” until the display turns blank. Now when you start the car, after “Corvette” is displayed, the “cat rat” will be displayed.

Cool! Thanks for the info. As for e-mail, must be my new virus scan. It seems to consider almost anything spam. Sorry about that.

Appreciate the information!
