@Sir_wilhelmsemuth Anything new?

Welcome to regulatory uncertainty w/in the automotive business!! There are greenhouse gas requirements that are scheduled to implement while simultaneously being changed. The question becomes will the change(s) make it through in time or be held up in litigation long enough to force the product...

If you're looking for another perspective - I'm 6'5" and put my front seat almost all the way back. Wife's 5'6" so had her seat back a bit too. When looking, we had two kids under 2 at the time which means reverse-facing car seats. Not possible for us in a CT4. Once the kids graduated to...

I have a friend w/ a bad leg that uses these door handle car latch assists: LINK. I know they work well with an Audi S4. My dad struggles getting the door closed once in. He grasps for the door's A-frame. Haven't found a fix for that yet.

The side rear bumper bodylines are all over the place on CT4s and CT5s. I've seen your issue before, I've seen wavy top edges of the rear bumper, I've seen poor alignment to the trunk, and the arch not aligned between bumper and wheel well. Sometimes all of these issues together! Now that we're...

The OG trim is a fun little splash of black diamond tricoat for the rest of you that don't have that color option spec'd. Embrace the BDT! :) The carbon does look good, but I'd want it real carbon vs. hydrographic or wrap. I think it does make a big difference on CT4. Less-so on CT5 w/ its...

Nice find. Looks like there are some good drift tires in there..

Yes, I've noticed similar. Couple sets of tires now. Watch for signs of delamination or accelerated wear if you frequently use them in < 40 degF weather. I keep spec'ing them though b/c they really are great tires.

Money’s on mucking about bc they can - you purchased out of state. Work with a different, local Cadillac dealer you love and trust for service. Check in with multiple dealers and parallel work this if you don’t have a relationship like this already - you’ll eventually build one.

Ah. I was soft wired using the cigarette lighter. The dimmers stopped working bc the sensor(s) were blocked. Good to hear you found a spot this doesn't happen!

I had a Uniden installed a while and my auto-dimming mirrors stopped working (rear view and both side mirrors). Do the installations in this thread resolve that?

Have you made sure your key is very much out of range (not inside the garage door in a basket for example)? I wonder if the keys are just w/in radius w/ its signal going in and out. And have you tried a faraday pouch?

If you have the rear view mirror camera it can definitely help with our blind spots. The door mirrors could be adjusted differently if using it. I have the rear view camera option but rarely use it though. I don't prefer how the camera messes w/ my spatial awareness when I move my head. And it...

@Sir_wilhelmsemuth What's the latest CT5-V BW suspension news? I'm getting consistent, good times at my tracks and am ready to see if I can get some more out of it mechanically now. I'm looking at swaybar, control arm, and bushing changes for more planted mid-corner and more rear tracking...

These can be quickly removed to prevent melting if you're doing track days vs. the OE center caps which have to be pushed out from the back.
