Easter Eggs

Are there any Easter egg abilities within the camaro that are not mentioned within the user's manual?

My Co-worker with a G8 GXP mentioned he found out the following:

washer mod in the exhaust subwoofer gain only turned up 35% - changed it to 100% and system sounds amazing now

night mode - hold two buttons on the dash and it kills all lights in the cabin except the speedo

pollution mode - AC mode that takes in air from outside only when you are going over 15 MPH otherwise it recycles cabin air

Lets see what we can find?

press and hold phone, hold AC MAX, call 756 892 7263, push the gas pedal all the way to the floor, push the brake pedal all the way to the floor, open the doors and sunroof within one second of each other, and honk the horn...

then it should transform

good luck to anyone trying it...

Here is a real Easter egg I did not see documented anywhere in the manual.

Press and hold the traction control button for 7 seconds and it will turn off both traction control (TC) and launch control (squiggle burn out light with off next to it).
Try it; you will notice both the TC and the squiggle light with off next to it are both lit at the same time. If you follow the manuals way of doing this, press once to turn TC off, press twice to turn launch control on. Launch control still uses traction control which is still a nanny.

Press and hold for 7 seconds to stick a sock in the nanny’s mouth and lock her in her room so you can burn as much rubber as you please and slide that car anyway you want.

WARNING! You will not have any traction control what so ever, you will actually need to know how to drive the car else you may wreck it.

Is this for real or are you just BSn like the other guys?

It's been documented on several occasions that holding the TC button for 7 seconds disables both traction control and launch control. He is serious.

This may not be an easter egg, but my dealer told me about this and I think it's awesome... when changing lanes, if you just tap your turn signal up or down (don't push it all the way, and don't hold it), it will blink 3 times and then stop. It's cool because you don't have to turn the signal on and then turn it off after you're done changing lanes

I don't know if any other cars have this feature (they probably do), but it's new to me and I thought it was cool

I'd like to know any other cool little tips like this. This thread has some potential!

I love this on all the new GM vehicles. Same thing with the key. You only need to bump it to the start position and let off and the car will fire up.
