Maybe you really don’t need a protector at all? Why do you feel you need one?

I have issue #2 as well in my 2026 BW and hate it. I now just leave all alerts on now and they rarely go on in a bothersome way. I don’t think this is a legal issue because I could turn them off in my 2023 BW

I got it to release. Thanks for all the help.

I cannot get the wire harness to disconnect from the original light. Can anyone offer further advice? 2026 5BW. Thanks.

This video was shot at Bradenton Motorsport Dragstrip (Florida) where he is part owner. It is about 20 min from my house and is, actually, a really nice strip. He put some money into it last summer.

My 2026 has them.

Some of you may find this useful.

Ha ha. I can beat that. GM replaced the whole car for me. My 2025 five Blackwing developed an electrical/computer issue that the dealer could not fix. They tried for about six or seven times before GM agreed to replace the car for me. I now have a 2026 Blackwing five that is working...

Yes this can be done. I can get 26-28 mpg on flat highway under 80 mph. Hack: put it in snow/ice mode for best mileage while not using cruise control.

Those are great base numbers. Further information, I think, that GM underrates this car.

Keep in mind that it is suggested that during the breakin that you do not drive a constant speed for too long. Try to vary your speeds.

When I change the collision alert menus from alert and brake to just alert then stop and restart the car all settings return to alert and brake. Anyone have a fix for this? Thanks.

I replaced engine oil, diff fluid and manual transmission fluid for the first time at about 1500 miles. Having the exhaust set on quietest mode will technically reduce performance but you will probably never notice.

From all the chassis dyno runs on these cars I have seen on the web I’m pretty convinced that the 5 BW is underrated by GM. I think about 700 crank HP is more accurate.

Sounds like your charger may not be charging or maintaining and the battery got low enough to trip the light then got charged back up again when you drove the car. I would test the charger or replace it.
