The C8 Corvette offers impressive mid-engine performance and chiseled good looks, with drivers cocooned in a cockpit-like cabin layout the caters to the nameplate’s sporting intentions. Now, however, one C8 Corvette owner has posted a video with a very weird glitch that flashes the Cadillac logo on the infotainment screen upon startup.
The video was posted to YouTube by user Jaysmizle, and is less than 3 minutes long. After a brief introduction, the owner explains that he is experiencing a glitch with the C8 Corvette infotainment system. After going shopping, the owner returned to his car to find that not only had all of his radio presets been erased, but his infotainment screen would flash the Cadillac logo on startup.
The owner demonstrates by turning the C8 Corvette off then on again. Sure enough, at the 52-second mark, we see the Cadillac crest displayed on the C8 Corvette infotainment screen.
“Did you guys see that?” the owner asks. “The freakin’ Cadillac emblem comes up on my main screen software and I’m clearly in my Corvette.”
The Cadillac logo is only on the screen briefly, but is clearly visible, with the multi-colored crest front and center on vehicle startup.
The owner can’t provide an explanation for the glitch.
“I’m gonna have to reset each and every one of my radio stations, I’m gonna have to reconfigure the Bluetooth to link up to my phone again,” the owner says in the video.
This isn’t the first video that the owner has posted regarding issues with his new C8 Corvette. Several months ago, the owner posted a video of him parked on the side of a highway with an error message saying to close the hood, resulting in a tow to the local dealer, which identified the issue as an actuator for the hood latch.
Follow-up videos include a secondary malfunction that popped the check engine light, while causing the digital gauge cluster, various steering wheel lights, and stereo to stop working.
Clearly frustrated by this latest software glitch with the Cadillac logo, the owner says he owns the “worst Corvette ever built.”

It’s the Infotainment 3 Radio, they have the icons and settings for each of GMs brands stored in data. It’s supposed to be linked to the VIN and display the correct animations BUT if an electrical fault happens or something corrupts the RAM it will display the wrong animation.
I’ve seen this happen on older MyLink radios too.
For example on the Gen 1 Volt instead of displaying “Volt” on the startup it could just display the general “”MyLink” message.
Though this guy may want to check and make sure he isn’t in a guest account on the radio and switch back to his user account that may have all his stations/apps/settings stored.
I have seen this in Colorados too. Just a rest needed.
Ooopsy daisy.
This guy on the video is really whining and someone needs to tell him it’s not the end of the world.
And we’re gonna trust these people to build autonomous self-driving vehicles?
Union made!
Inflammatory statement concerning unions/liberals/America! Question about if GM will survive? China. China. China.
Another inflammatory troll statement! Mom yelling at me about bandwidth use, should probably Google VPNs?
(Deep internal questions about self-worth and actual value to society. Maybe should learn a trade, Melania doesn’t know.)
Why does GM not replace the Corvette he has with a new one. This is the real answer not continuing to try to patch repair this Corvette.
GM quality control. a Cadavette, sounds about right.
Maybe it’s intentional. Maybe they’re teasing a mid engine Cadillac sports car.
The electrical system in GM vehicles seems to be the biggest problem with the ones I have. The 01 Corvette hasn’t been much problem but the 15 has not been great nor has our 14 Caddy.
Oh no, not the lost radio station presets and Cadillac emblem flash on the screen syndrome.
So his C8 was just upgraded to a Cadillac. What’s not to like? /S
Seriously, I think that others here already have covered the problem and possible solutions.
I think at this rate, he has a legal case to invoke Lemon Law on GM for this car.
My 2019 Silverado does the same thing anytime I pick it up from the dealership after service. The Infotainment console will also randomly reboot while driving. Really makes me confident in my purchase.
Fortunately my 2000s vehicles don’t have this issue.
Screw new cars and their poor quality.
Women running car corporations causes these glitches. They don’t know the difference between a car and a tricycle.
you must be referring to Yogi’s daughter , your right.
Quality is job one! Not at GM!
Just one more in a long line of the gm product failures. Cracked dashes, malfunctioning 8 speed transmissions and now , even a Chevy thinks it’s a Cadillac. No wonder they are pandering to the Chinese.
gm claims the poorly performing transmission is normal and will not perform the flush. 2019 Camaro with 1500 miles. Slips like a burned up clutch between 1st & 2nd when cold. gm needs to step up and support their products after the sale. Period.
