I have a 98 STS does anyone know how to program the display to show a name currently I have the previous owners name reading out i want to change it.Someone told me the dealer is the onl way to go.

 

Don't know off the top of my head but the procedure is outlined in the owners manual.

 

I have a 2006 STS and you can program the names for driver one and two yourself in is in manual how to do it >>> I also owned a new 1998 STS>>> the dealer will need to do it for you>>>>and they may want several dollars to do it for you>>>>I bought the new 1998 STS from my local dealer and after a few month I was reading in my car manual that you could have a name for driver 1 and 2 that would show up on display when you started car and that the service dept would need to do it for you>>>I went to dealer to have it done back in 1998 and they wanted $69.00 to do it>>>you would think that they would have done it free as I had just bought the STS from them list price $53,000>>>>Sales said that service dept would have to do it on the 1998 STS and service wanted $69.00 to do it>>>I did not have it done>>>>But the next new STS I bought was not from this dealer>>>

Am pretty sure you'll have to go to a dealer or shop with a true dealer-like scan tool. I have what's supposed to be the most "dealer-like" generic scan tool and it cannot access that function.

 

Must use a tech II OBD to program names. Very expensive.
