No AFM status or gear indication? Really? That's a downer. Both are available on my 2011. Sad to see it's not available on a 2014.

Thanks, all. I was afraid of that. They don't want us messing with the 2014s!

No engineering mode on the VF.

Global Diagnostic System 2.

Completely different architecture.


Seems the SS has a lot of display items in the normal DIC that the Caprice does not have.

I wish I could monitor DOD status and see what gear the trans is in. I can usually tell by the RPM vs speed but its still nice to have a display with so many gears. I would also like to one day get the temp gauge from the SS cause I like to constantly monitor that no have to scroll through DIC to look at it. Temp gauge in the SS goes where the P RNDL indicator is on the Caprice.

Camaro also does not have engineering mode.
Argh I hate when people get this confused, its Called Global "A" not GDS 2 thats the program you use to diagnose Global A vehicles LOL Also I can more than likely reprogram the IPC to display 99% of the stuff you guys want.

My 2011 does nothing when i attempt to get into engineering mode? I've watched the videos etc... It does display all that info that people are asking about like AFM, tire pressures MPG etc, if the car is running in the DIC and toggles through them with the button to the right of the enter button? Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what else I can try.
