    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    If you have a valentine 1: edit: if you have another brand, rdforum.org is a good place to look for help.

    How the heck do I replace the battery!

    My battery tender quick disconnect hardwired setup is very similar. (I'd love to get a part number for the ground lug so I could put one in my C6!)

    How often do you have to replace the FOB battery

    My 5BW is a 2025 and I've had it for a little more than six months. I was curious last week and popped the battery and my fluke reported an (unloaded) voltage of about 3.0V so I replaced it. I only have about 2K miles on it but I know every time I walk near the car in the garage the "approach...

    CT4-V Replacement Key Fob - Colors and Part Numbers

    It looks like SPS2 has only two key fob programming options: add one fob or delete all fobs. Clearly it took much less technician time to just add a new fob than to delete all fobs and then add back the two in possession (as #1 and #2). If it's not practical to go back to the original...

    CT4-V Replacement Key Fob - Colors and Part Numbers

    It sounds like the lost key (#1) is still active. There is no reason (aside from laziness) the dealer did not delete it and either promoted fob #2 to #1 or programmed the new fob as #1. I would want this fixed.

    CT5-V Precision Pack Ride Quality Analysis

    From what I remember changes to an order in the system can only happen if the event code is 3000 2000 or less.

    2025 gauge glitches and software updates

    I rotate two sd cards (actually micro sd cards in sd adapters) and I've found it best to remove and insert cards when the car is on. Otherwise I'll find the PDR does not start recording and complains about errors with the media. I suspect the software caches the card state and gets confused if...

    Gauge display resets?

    I also prefer the sport display and it appears to reset to tour when I don't drive the car for many days. For example, I didn't drive the car for almost three weeks while on vacation and when I got back it had reset to tour. On the other hand, drive mode has always stuck to my mode since I...

    CT5-V New '26 5BW: Some Annoyances

    The problem is that the google built-in LCD panel is leaking 35.100 GHz. You can work around this by creating "custom frequencies" that leave the problematic frequency out. I've been running this way for six months with no problems. https://www.rdforum.org/threads/115350/page-4#post-1995602

    How many miles on the odometer at pickup?

    Sewell uses dealerdoc.com and it was pretty painless. I had to sign a couple limited power of attorney docs to allow them to do the registration. I needed a dmv vin inspection (pro-tip: you just drive up to the drive-through and someone comes out and does it -- no cost and no appointment). The...

    How many miles on the odometer at pickup?

    Pictures from when it arrived at Sewell showed 3 miles. I think it was driven somewhere for a TX inspection and a fillup (I had onstar access by then and saw the fuel/range increase). It had 5 miles when it was unloaded from the transport in CA.

    Rear Diff Fluid

    I never said elsd COOLER or elsd CLUTCH fluid, it's not clear to me how you've gotten so confused...

    Rear Diff Fluid

    Yes, I changed the electronic limited slip DIFFERENTIAL fluid.

    Rear Diff Fluid

    I changed my elsd fluid with the car backed up my ramps. Before draining, I took a piece of copper wire, bent 90° and folded some masking tape over it. I stuck this in the fill hole and then noted how far down the fluid was. I used a mityvac to fluid that didn't drain out due to the slight...
