They had to have pulled the update. Booked a service appointment after it failed 6 times. There is no reference to the update being available or being applied successfully. Glad I could beta test for GM. 🤷 Same version of software on the car now as before it prompted to update and then went away.

Update - I have attempted the update 6 times at various intervals and it consistently fails - booked a service appointment for next week at the dealership. There are a lot of little quirks with the infotainment I would love to see them fix - especially the Surround View functionality. 🤞

Just got a notification in the car that GM 33.00 update is ready. Parked the car in the driveway and plugged in trickle charger on the battery and let it run the install. Failed twice. Not confidence inspiring. Anybody else get it to install correctly and any major changes? Would be nice if...

Probably going towards a set of rear tires at some point. :)

Same for me - received 100k GM rewards points. Car now has over 6k miles without issue related to the oil plug. I did have a fuel rail pressure sensor failure at 5800 miles which caused the car to go into limp mode when driven aggressively - replaced under warranty and all good now...

There is also a setting (off by default) to overwrite old recordings when the memory card is full - make sure you change that too.

I'm flying to Vegas tomorrow for class on Wed/Thur of this week. I really wish for a carbon brakes, manual 2025 with upgraded seats *fingers crossed*. Anybody else scheduled this week? April 9th-10th.

A note that that 'official' GM approved fix is to press the oil cup back into the existing oil pan versus replacing the oil pan itself, if possible. So assuming your dealer found the oil cup in the under engine plastic tray that may speed up the process on the engine repair. Very sorry to hear...

My guess is that it is used in machining process of the oil passage in the pan and then sealed off. Similar to how the 'dog bone' plug is used in the engine block itself (which is mechanically locked by the transmission bellhousing from being able to come out).

In my case the servicing dealer had my car for over 29 days 'awaiting parts' for a new oil pan after they first tried to present me with an almost $7k bill for something that was very clearly a manufacturing defect. The Service Manager tried to say that because I used a non GM branded oil filter...

Yes yours looks fine - others have had the cap halfway pressed in at best.

2025 CT5 Blacking with Uniden R7 hardwire instructions: For the 2025 CT5 BW- I ordered this wiring kit from Amazon (you will use the smallest pin variant of the 3 provided). Remove the plastic surround attached to the windshield using a 1 inch wide plastic pry tool (Harbor Freight has them...

The 'service update' A252495390 above is what I was provided by the dealer. If I get more details I will share here ASAP.
