I have the RaceRamps brand chocks, Part # RR-WC-1. They're solid rubber with aggressive texture on the bottom, I tend to give them a couple of good whacks to wedge them in as tight as I can against the tire (and I also make sure the tire is as far forward as it can go against the lip of the...

Great minds think alike - doing the same on this Memorial Day! Along with a Fumoto valve, FilterMag oil filter magnet, and ZLAddons jacking pads.

I had the entirety of my interior CF, including seatbacks, covered in standard Xpel gloss film when I had my 5BW done. No trim had to be removed, including seatbacks. While it's true that most of the trim is probably in a location that isn't super scratch prone, I wanted maximum coverage...

This was my experience as well when I bought a 2023 CPO 5BW in 2025 that was a GM showcase vehicle, although there should be any "exception" needed - the verbiage states that it's the first retail owner that has rights to the Spring Mountain course, and GM doesn't count as a retail owner. As...

Hmm. I'm scheduled to do the standard V-Academy later this month but now wondering if I should try and push out to take advantage of this new Level 1 class. Considering I have a pre-refresh 5BW, I am more interested in general car control than the electronics but as I type this I am also...

I disliked the migration to the giant screen when I sat in a 2025 when they first came out. Right now I'm in a base 2026 CT5 loaner with the 5BW at the dealership for warranty work (fit/finish issues from the factory) and I have to say, in day to day use, it's grown on me quite a bit. I thought...

Electrical engineer by education, business development director by job title, mostly in the aerospace and defense sector.

Is it bad that I wanted more...color? Like, the V logo does have color in it...

Just pulled both cards and checked on my Win11 machine. To refresh, 256GB Samsung Endurance Pro formatted in-car via PDR in the PDR slot, and a 128GB Endurance Pro in the SVR formatted using GUIFormat in FAT32 on the same Win11 system. PDR files are .mp4 and played just fine in both Windows...

Yep, I have a 256GB card in exFAT in the PDR and that works just fine. The screenshot above is from the front camera SVR view - the SVR is the only situation where I'm getting that glitchy artifact and only on the front camera. But great to know a 1TB card works! I haven't seen on any forum...

Having just played SD card roulette on my 2023 5BW, just wanted to add some additional information about what worked for me to this thread. Bought several Samsung Endurance Pro SD cards (micro+adapter) from 64GB to 256GB to try and nail down the max size I could use for both the PDR and SVR. I...

Indeed! I probably should have clarified that, OEM electric blue with clear stealth PPF.

Interesting...I may stand corrected. I would think the cover is thin enough as to not majorly attenuate the signal, but without testing it I'm just guessing

Having just had my car fully wrapped, including roof and sharkfin, a couple of comments/observations from my experience My shop had no issues wrapping the sharkfin without removing it and with no perceivable gaps - they were able to cut a slight additional length and tuck it under the sharkfin...

My understanding is that XPEL Fusion ceramic coating has been used interiors for a few years but the new product specifically for interiors is pretty new and there's surprisingly little information online on it - here's the most I found in the link below. But basically it's meant to be like an...
