How to Configure C7 Corvette Digital Display Instrument Cluster | C7 Z06, Stingray, Grand Sport

[@Team512]

What Drive Mode and Display Theme do you use most of the time in your C7 Corvette? I'm usually in Sport Mode with the Track Theme.

[@joshua31r]

I just bought my 2017 GS and like track mode the best. One thing I have not figured out is why my best 0-60 times arent staying though.

[@rudyyarbrough5122]

I just bought a 2016 C7 and the cluster really baffled me until this video. A great job and done very slowly for the chimps like me!

[@terryrutherford2114]

Good info. I just bought a C7 Z06 (May 2023) after owning a 2011 CTS-V. the Vette has so many options on the wheel to configure. Thanks for the video!

[@sherf36]

Theres so much to learn, I've spent hours watching tutorials to learn the dash.

[@Tbone1952]

sport mode, haven't taken the time to learn all the gage options, but after seeing this I am definitely going to play around with it thanks for an informative video.

[@Team512]

Give it a shot and see what you come up with. I sometimes drive with the G-Meter in the center to see how close to 1.00 I can get!

This video/tutorial is great! Thanks so much. I've my 2016 for a few years now but thanks to you it looks like a different car!

[@KrisWatts-sx2di]

Great, informative video - well done! I’ve had my 2017 Z06 for about 3 months now so I’m still playing with my gauge preferences, so this was good. I tend to default to the Sport setting with the center speedometer, but like to play around with the settings.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I made a similar video about a year ago on my 2015 Z06. It's weird how much is different from my 2015 and how much is different from yours to my 2019! Great job, Scott!

[@Team512]

Thanks Justin! I watched your video a bunch of times while dreaming of buying a C7. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@anthonyaztiptoenailsandspa7259]

I just got my 2019 GS and I am still not able to figure out all these features. Thank you for the video. I will be watching again when i got home and follow your guide to learn more

[@Team512]

Awesome! So glad I could help. Enjoy the GS! I love mine.

[@robskully3539]

New 2019 2LT GS owner ... love the car. Probably the best explanation of the dash and drive modes. You for got the ones on the view screen on middle console section. BTW ... we also have a 2019 Mustang GT ... sorry to say the digital dash on that is eons ahead of the Vettes. The customization you can do on that is sick. With the Stang you can even change colors you see and the ambient lighting. Love both cars... Vette is a coupe and the Stang is a convertible ( it is my Wife’s)

[@Team512]

Congrats on the new GS! I can't get enough of mine...clearly. HA! I appreciate the kind words. The electronics in a vehicle tends to be the first "outdated" feature as time goes on. It's not bad, but like you said, the dash on the Mustang is ahead of that on the Corvette. Have you seen the C8 dash in person? Very nice. Stay healthy and enjoy that car. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or comments: [e-mail]

[@robskully3539]

Team 512 ... yes we seen the new 2020 they had a Silver one and a black one. I live 10 miles from the 2nd biggest Vette dealership in the World. I dont really like the 2020’s ... to me they look like a poor mans Ferrari or Lambo

[@Team512]

Yeah there’s something about the C7 that will be tough to match.

[@timboehm8700]

Great Vlog! Thanks for the info and dedication to the viewers of your channel

[@Team512]

Thanks for the kind words Tim!

[@RussellLovelock]

Hey, hi from England. I have a 2017 Grand sport and usually go with sport mode with the real time average fuel economy display. I then have the head up display in track mode and watch the revs and change lights there. I tend to mess about with the pocket gauges but don’t actually look at them often. I like the horsepower display but when your pushing on it don’t tend to watch it 😮

[@YellowVette04]

That's a lot to wrap your head around. I like the simplicity of the C5 analog gauges 🤣. Kidding, it's nice to be able to personalize it to your own liking.

[@Team512]

Yeah there’s a lot going on for sure. I like to switch up the displays every once in a while to keep things fresh.

[@gputhenkurish6112]

Very informative. Thanks for posting.❤

[@Team512]

You’re welcome!

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Track mode display is the way to go. Oddly though I haven't switched mine yet in the new Cadillac. I mean, Vette. Need to do that next time I drive!

[@Team512]

Track mode all the way! Though I’m curious about switching the display to Sport and running that for a while. Can’t wait to see more of your new Caddy. 😂

[@icyvette1719]

I prefer to have mine on Track Mode with the tire pressure numbers!

[@bill45colt]

many thanks,,,i needed that baad

[@ProtectiveDadPranks]

Okay.... here’s one for you. Those little shift dots at the top of the track display. They come on sometimes when I’m driving and others it doesn’t. What makes them turn on?

[@Team512]

Steve, I had the same question when I first got the car. Here’s what I found was happening...they come on much sooner when the car is cold. As the car heats up, the red line gets pushed further out towards 6500rpms and the lights come on much later. I found I was shifting too soon when the car warmed up for the lights to activate. So now I just hammer on it and see them everytime! See if you notice them more when the car is cold.

[@ProtectiveDadPranks]

Team 512 literally. That’s when I saw them. Right when I drove off. Then after it warmed up. I stopped seeing them. Track display/Sport

[@Team512]

Protective Dad Pranks You’re not hammering on it hard enough once it warms up. 😂 C’mon Steve! Get after it!

[@ProtectiveDadPranks]

Team 512 - I’m dying laughing now!

[@Team512]

Protective Dad Pranks Gotta film yourself putting the hammer down so I can see those lights come on!

[@duramaxcountryboy2107]

That’s crazy what you can do with the gages

[@Team512]

Yeah it’s highly configurable. If you get bored with one display, you can change it to something new for awhile.

[@samc7549]

Hi, I'm going to the track soon. How do you use the track timer on the cluster? Thank you

[@rockafelladw]

In the Performance display my 2019 only allows me to press right on the performance timer. Cannot edit the guages. And the guages look different. They're white vertical bars.

[@Team512]

I believe it changed slightly in 2018

[@LeadDevelopAchieve]

what year was the gauge display updated to show tire pressure and numeric engine/trans temps on a single page? I know it's at least on the 2018 not sure if it was on the 2017. my 2015 shows tire pressure on one page or a non-numeric bar graph for temps on another page. only way to get a digital reading on a 2015 is on the touring display the updated page im referencing is in the track display

[@joelpierce3940]

Just trying to figure out how to display the braking(red) and acceleration (green) bars? 2019 ZO6, 2lz. Thanks

[@Team512]

That’s a new one on me. But I think they updated the dash in the 2018 and 2019 models. Feel free to post the answer if you figure it out. Thanks for commenting!

[@orestkucyna5546]

I know this video is 4 years old but hoping you will still respond. In the track mode display I find it odd that I cannot select engine coolant temp on the 4 small engine gauge displays. I have a Z06 so I do not have coolant temp on the right side below the fuel display, I have supercharger boost. Coolant temp seems to only be selectable as a single display in the middle of the cluster. Am I missing something? What I want are the 4 small gauges with oil press, oil temp, trans temp and coolant temp. Can configure the first 3 but not the coolant temp.

[@Team512]

I don’t think you can replace boost with another gauge. But not completely sure.

[@orestkucyna5546]

@@Team512 , no the boost is a permanent gauge on the cluster, so the only way I can see coolant temp is vis the selectable gauges. It’s either 4 small gauges where coolant is not selectable, or a single coolant gauge. You would think in the track mode you want to see all vital oil and coolant temps.

[@swfloridacarguy1987]

Great refresher! Thx

[@skslone9450]

I use the sport mode mostly, as I seen you scrolling I seen the engine mode and reminded me of a question. What have you heard about lifter issues causing engine damage due to the switching from V8 to V4 mode? I’ve seen a few videos on this issue, mostly dealing with Silverados, but now have seen one involving a C7 and a engine change under warranty.

[@Team512]

I have heard about a few different issues resulting from V4 mode, but it's difficult to understand how pervasive these issues actually are in the Corvette. Most of what I'm hearing centers around driveline issues with the autos (A8's). Having an M7, I'm able to avoid V4 mode altogether by staying out of ECO mode.

[@skslone9450]

Team 512 may want to check out “Brink of Speed” and some of his subscribers comments on manuals about this issue. Rick Conti even hit on this issue slightly in his last video

[@Team512]

Awesome! I appreciate you looking out.

[@StefBelgium]

In tour mode, can you change the battery voltage displayed in the 5 lines on the right hand side to let s say transmission fluid temperature? Awesome video. I m buying a C7 Z06 with only 3600 km (from 2017) , it s a competition/carbon 65 edition with actual real spring/damper suspension and a full revamp on the inside with alcantara everywhere. Problem is the price 110K Euro but that s the price over here in Belgium/Europe. This video is helpful to configure the cluster gauges and very well explained! Good job mate and take care. Ps: this video is 3 years old, did you get the new C8 in the meantime? I ll be using the track mode too cause I like the display of the RPM range and I like the direct read out of the engine, oil temperature and pressure, and transmission fluid temperature to ensure the engine is running ok.

[@dougf1654]

I have a 2019 C7 Grand Sport--things seem to be quite different, is it because I don't have the Z06?

[@Miccio1]

Slightly off topic but, anyone notice that sometimes the skip shift message comes up on the display, but it doesn't actually do the skip shift? same thing happened on my 1LE camaro. also, whats that device on top of your steering column?

[@Team512]

Yes. I’ve noticed the skip shift message display as I row right into 2nd gear sometimes. That’s my GoPro resting on the steering column. Good 👀

[@pedroangel6547]

I just bought my c7.. and whenever I change the drive mode, my display stays the same!(sport mode) it doesn’t change to the track display of the touring display! Help me fix it!!

[@Team512]

This is set in the infotainment screen under ‘settings’

Thanks! Appreciate the comment. Glad I could help.

[@petercarey6883]

Track mode, Drive mode, wet mode, Sport mode, Tour mode. Whew, that's just too many modes for my bi-polar mode to handle.😖😁 Guess I'll just stick with my Yugo. Just two modes. Forward mode and Reverse mode. 😉 Save the Wave.🙋🏼‍♂️

[@Team512]

Pretty soon my grass will need to be 'mowed'...too bad there's not a 'mode' for that task...

Stay tuned. Roomba is working on a Yardba. There's been numerous sightings up here in full Forest Green Camo. You'll be "mowed" over by it's technology.😉

[@NegativoZ06]

One of the things I hate the most about track mode is that it do not show engine and oil temperature
