I'm in the same boat as JD_Z28. Mine is all stock and will show when everything is fully off (after holding down for 5+seconds), but I have never seen CM come on the screen after I pushed the button twice in less than 5 seconds.

I think there are a couple of things like TPMS that can prevent vehicle from going in to CM but mostly likely cause is that your radio isn't programmed correctly for the V. A dealer can do it with a tech II

If yours is truly a virgin (I'm doubting that ...looks like a total **** to me), then it may not be the radio programming causing your issue. I doubt they would mess that up right from the factory but this is GM we're talking about lol.

So what happens to the traction control options when u go to an aftermarket radio? I was assuming everything still works like normal just not able to be displayed on the new unit. Surely I can't be stuck with the stock head unit!?

I'm 99.9% positive that you cannot get in to CM without the stock head unit; however, if you replace our nav head unit with the standard cts head unit (non-nav DIC), you can still get in to CM and retain all other functions. On the other forum there is a thread where someone wanted an aftermarket nav head unit so they hacked up the console and used a standard cts non-nav DIC so all stock features could be accessed (including CM) and used the extra space for a pioneer nav head unit or something. It looked super nice and clean and worked out very well for him.

To me the competitive mode is still too restrictive. Mine kicks is very often in CM, and I don't even think I'm sliding much. Still, I don't usually turn it all the way off.
The car will occasionally make a violent sideways movement when I speedshift 2-3, and I'm not sure if I would lose it without stability control. I wish it would start in CM, and that CM would free it up a little more than it does.

To get into comp mode I hold the button for like 15 seconds. Screen also tells me Stability system is off.
