Default Welcome screen help!!

Does anyone have the steps to change the name on the welcome screen. My dealer wants to charge me a hour worth of labor. I know it can't be that damn hard. I'm sick of seeing the previous owners name on my car. CHUCK... I hate that name now. No offense to those named Chuck.

There is a vehicle perosnalization manual, that comes with the owners manual (that might not really be what it's called). They tell you how to set the user name, you can make your seats move back when you shut the car off, and turn the pass. mirror down when you back-up.

Make sure the parking brake is set when you do this ^^ or you won't be able to get into the proper menus.

It's good to know how to change your greeting, so when you have to take your car into be serviced you can change the greeting to, "This nav is NOT A TOUCHSCREEN!"

That way the techs MAY keep their greasy fingers off your screen.

i dont like how it doesnt self center the name...i took me 4ever to get something centered...not what i would have wanted barring the fact it gives u ample room to
type a catch phrase but u cant read the first few words...gay!!!
would be sick if it scrolled accross the screen.
