im not sure about scrolling but I thought it would be cool if when you start the car, The screen on the DIC lights up and then SS Supercharged scrolled across the screen like in the vettes.

I don't think you want your DIC to scroll... Thing would need a mind of it's own for that...

And there should be a sexy voice that talks to you when your driving.

"Oh, have you lost weight?"

"Ouch! Your so hott you burned my leather!"

And an even better idea would be to have it say bad things to people driving it that shouldnt be.

"This car and 500 bucks still couldnt get you laid in ***** house!"

"Who let you in here?! This aint no geo!"

haha, my Dad's ideas for his vette.

Anyway, a customizablr screen would be cool. Mine would deff. scroll "BAD ASS SS!"

Unfortunately No
It's got something to do with the fact that it's a driver WARNING system, that prioritizes the displayed warning based on severity. The system requires the driver to aknowledge the warning- (by pressing Reset) to clear it off

most of you aren't old enough to remember the old Dodges/Cbhryslers that would 'talk' to you instead of give you a warning light:

"Your door is jar."
"fasten your seatlbelt."
"Oil level is low"

most owners took the cars back to the dealers inside of 3 months!!

It was like K.I.T.T., but for old people.
