Great video most people who are watching your channel is in the long process of getting or thinking about getting a C8 therefore this information is like watching someone showing what the manual says keep up the great information
I got my 2024 yesterday. I love, love, love my new car. But.., this new car will have a very steep learning curve. It's too bad Chevrolet didn't have an online C8 course and test feature on the My Chevrolet page.
Great synopsis. Alot of folks forget that only Z Mode gives you access to the Powertrain setting to configure. See 9:14 mark. My Mode does NOT give this option and in My Mode, you're always in Tour powertrain setting. Just a quick FYI.
Great info. It would be good if you can cover how to roll down windows with key fob and how to manage side door mirrors so they can fold in when you turn car off. I believe it all needs to be programmed from infotainment section. Thanks
been following you on your channel did throttle body and controller that is bad ass changed the car. Had spacer before you had to cut studs i have after market wheels forgiatos they are not as deep as the factory wheels. The next mod you need is in the rear truck it is a heat mat it will cut the temp down in rear truck at least 30 degrees get temp gage drive you car and check it it will be at 90 degrees or better put in mat about 69 to 63
How can you change the default HUD and make it the default for My MODE? I manage to do it but it made this particular HUD view the default for all MY MODE, Tour...
THE COLOR!! I see what you did with the exterior color and interior. My suggestion if you do it again. That same Green outside and Red Adrenaline Dipped interior. Out of the park Baybee!
Tilting the HUD seems to be a setting for drivers who sit static in their cars during driving on cambered, roads/tracks. For example of stock cars and road cars have tilted gauges because some of the drivers remain static instead of tilting their heads, on bankings specifically. I am one of those static idiots 😂😂
Hi, I have a question that has nothing to do with this video, I finally have my 2021 C8, when I get to 500 miles do I have to go to the dealer for an oil change or is it not mandatory?
You need an oil change after break in. There will be debris (fine metal particles and such) in the oil from the piston rings, bearings, and other friction parts breaking in. That’s also why it’s important to not overdo it on the throttle during this period.
My display is dimmed way down - I set it to Day and it is still dimmed way way down. Both the big screen and the instrument display as well. Usually there is a little stalk in the display you simply turn up to increase the brightness but I don’t see one anywhere on this c8. What is the secret to increasing the display brightness?
the amf valves are causing you check engine light where ypu go fron 4 cylinder to 8 cylinder not the npp valves you can get exhaust valve module at cicio performance it just plugs in that will take care of cel had to do it my self
Just curious...you have your tire psi's at 32 fronts and 34 backs...is there a significance as to why you have the backs higher psi than the fronts? Wondering if you have found a secret performance advantage for having the backs higher than the fronts...I could get really wordy here but I will leave it at that! Devoted sub, Jeff in Utah
need to put you npp valves back on just plug those back in go to paragone performance install exhaust it will show you how to zip tie the valve to you wire harness
he did not know what he was talking about needs to get more info been there done that needs to put npp valves back on it is amf valves that go from 4 cylinder to 8 cylinder there is a module you can buy that fools the computer @@zorro8027
I think the auto shut off is so you don’t park your car in the garage and go to bed, killing your family from the carbon monoxide. Some of the push to start cars are so quite that this has happened all too frequently. Mostly by older folks but I guess it could also happen to the stupid or alcohol induced dummies too.
Ehh...the more likely answer is that it is exactly for situations like this. When you leave your car with the key while it's still on it will honk at you. So there is already at least one system in place to tell you to turn the car off. But if someone wants to just sit in the car for a 30 minute lunch break, or take a nap, or wait for family, etc...and instead of accessory mode they have the car on unnecessarily... IATs will continue to go through the roof and that is not good for the engine. So I think it's more for the people that want to STAY INSIDE their cars for long periods of time, stationary and idling...
@@nicholasborrelli7544 maybe both? See this explanation below courtesy of GM Authority: Sorry so long but it does explain both sides. “With nearly every automaker under the sun now offering active safety and advanced driver features, there are a few more common sense features that get left out of the spotlight. GM Extended Parking is one good example of that. Born out of necessity in the age of the keyless electronic ignition, this General Motors safety feature will automatically shut off a vehicle’s engine after a certain amount of time while the vehicle is parked, reducing emissions and preventing potential carbon monoxide poisoning in the process. Interestingly, the purpose of this feature was never explicitly stated by GM, but its purpose remains clear all the same. The risks of a keyless ignition include accidentally leaving the engine running in an enclosed space, which could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, not to mention unintentionally burning through a tank of gas, though that’s a much smaller risk than the former. The GM Extended Parking feature helps to alleviate those issues. The GM Extended Parking feature automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle is parked for 20 minutes without the key fob present, or after an hour when the key fob is present. GM Extended Parking was first made available in 2013 on select 2014 model year GM vehicles. As of this writing, the feature is standard on 2019 model year and newer Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac models with keyless ignition, also known as push-button start. Some manufacturers are moving towards the implementation of their own systems similar to the GM Extended Park feature, but regulation on the issue is still murky, as it’s difficult to determine a specific standard time period to switch off the engine. What’s more, the implementation of a system standard comes with its own unique risks. For example, some drivers will leave pets in the car with the A/C running on a hot day while attending to some errands (something we don’t recommend doing), while other drivers will leave the engine running while they sleep to keep the climate control active. Nevertheless, current model year GM vehicles will now shut off after a certain period of time when left in park with the engine on. GM’s cross-town rival, Ford, also implemented its own safety feature similar to GM Extended Parking in 2013, while Toyota has announced that 2020 model year vehicles will feature automatic engine shutoff as well. All told, we think this is a safety feature that makes a lot of sense, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see some kind of industry-wide standardization in the next few years - regardless if those drivers are catching a few z’s in the parking lot.

Yes been waiting since august 3 2020 .. tpw April 19, can I get a hellllll yea
@@goalgetters3515 congratulations 🎉 mine was august 27th 2020 at 3000 now maybe end of April if there’s no shut downs 🤞 good luck 🍀 to you
Love your swiftness, I'd've been overtalking, I'm certain of it. Great presentation again! Holler at Kimmy girl, ciao!
Thanks for the very informative video!!
Glad it was helpful!
This video is the absolute BEST !!! You know this ride SO well !!! Got So much info !! Thank you so much !!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for a great video, quick and to the point!! Super informative. I can't wait for mine to arrive!!!
This guy never misses🔥
🙏🏼 thanks bro!
thank you for the info, Ill be back for sure to learn more
Bose AudioPilot is a pretty cool setting. It adjusts the volume of the audio up or down depending on how much noise is going on inside the car.
Good info to know.... when I own the C8Z06 one day😆
🎉🎉🎉

Another stellar video, ty
Thanks Ed!
Great video thanks
Thank you for this
Cool walk thru, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
Ooo your subscribers are going up 💪
🎉🎉🎉
I am on page 112 of the owners manual. I just bought a used C8 and if I remember correctly, I read that the C8 auto shuts off after 10 mins of idling
Great video
Thanks man!
Great info. It would be good if you can cover how to roll down windows with key fob and how to manage side door mirrors so they can fold in when you turn car off. I believe it all needs to be programmed from infotainment section. Thanks
Definitely, I’ll do a vlog just answering questions one day for y’all!
It’s a Chevrolet, an illuminated Check Engine light comes standard
🤣
Great Video!!! Could you tell me how to change the tyre pressure monitoring from KPA to PSI ? Cant find it anywhere. Thanks so much.
I'm going to have to wait for the English language version.
been following you on your channel did throttle body and controller that is bad ass changed the car.

Super!!! 👍😎
Thanks Harry!
Car is looking great jeep up content. Also still seeing if interested in the Lamborghini door hinge kit? Just lmk.
Good review, can you turn off the variable cylinder mode and just operate on V8 mode ?
Yup, just tap the M button and it’ll stay in manual mode and won’t go into 4 cyl mode. But you have to shift all the time.
Or Z mode will keep it from switching to 4 cylinders.
Rotating the HUD is because of polarized sunglasses. Slight rotation and much brighter display.
How do you stop the engine from going into 4 cylinder mode?
Put it in Track mode
Can you change the monitor background colors or is it just black
Not sure
What’s with the check engine light
How can you change the default HUD and make it the default for My MODE? I manage to do it but it made this particular HUD view the default for all MY MODE, Tour...
I’ll cover that one vlog answer I questions
Can it display multiple languages or just English & Spanish? Thank you
Not sure

Your first required oil changes at 7500 miles I will do mine at about six thousand just to be safe and the first change is free
I did my first one around 6k-7k miles along with the trans filter and 2 extra qt if DCT fluid
I want this gauge cluster in a c5 any one know if it’s possible
My C8 is saying accelerate to activate. What does that mean
Why is the check engine light on?
Just wondering why the Check Engine light is on? I'd be noticing that.
Exhaust System before the simulators came out
My display is dimmed way down - I set it to Day and it is still dimmed way way down. Both the big screen and the instrument display as well.
Usually there is a little stalk in the display you simply turn up to increase the brightness but I don’t see one anywhere on this c8. What is the secret to increasing the display brightness?
There is a dial on the left side of steering wheel under the HUD controls
You ever tracked the c8 at Palm Beach?
Not yet! On the list tho!
the amf valves are causing you check engine light where ypu go fron 4 cylinder to 8 cylinder not the npp valves you can get exhaust valve module at cicio performance it just plugs in that will take care of cel had to do it my self

Hey Jeff,
They are all over the place but I think I usually try to keep them at 30 Cold.
need to put you npp valves back on just plug those back in go to paragone performance install exhaust it will show you how to zip tie the valve to you wire harness
why ya engine light on?
Pretty good tutorial. But he could slow down his presentation. It's not a race to finish.
Looks like you got a check engine light
He explained it in the vid.

Ah yes. Thanks for the info.
Where’s the c5 z06?
Still in the shop 😢

Ahhhhhh, why didn’t I think of that. Smart! Thanks Bud!
Mustang has this too after 30 minutes

You went too fast - slow down.
