Question My car changed to Chinese today??

I was riding along and the language in the center display changed to chinese or something that looks like chinese, since I don't actually read chinese. I thought maybe I bumped something but when I hit the onstar button and they talked me through fixing it, the only language options were English, French and Spanish. Very strange! Some sort of Communist plot.

Some other guy had his change suddenly to Japanese on a earlier thread. He used a poor "phrase" to explain what language his DIC was speaking.

Maybe it was a subliminal announcement to all Camaro owners that the Chinese will soon be enjoying these cars as much as we do....

Or not, and your DIC just had a temporary stroke...

German, Japanese, and now Chinese? Is it possible that the affected cars are getting updates via OnStar, and the updates are jacking with the settings?
