    Headlights suck

    Yes, CT5. At ~80 MPH or accelerating hard the lights get overdriven to me.

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

    I can no longer edit my post or reply to it .. Here are two more bummers: I wish it had a rear window wiper - it's always got water droplets on it in Washington state No hands-free trunk release w/ carbon fiber diffuser

    Headlights suck

    The lights aren't great, true story. I'm adding aux lights soon.

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

    Human factors design is so interesting .. I’m 6’4” and proportional and they’re perfect for me. You did remind me the steering wheel doesn’t adjust back toward the driver enough for me though. Cheers!

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

    7000 miles since January 2024 on a CT5-BW. I got it with 6 miles on the odo. Cross-country trips, regional runs, and a couple track days so far. No real dislikes but here are a few things I've noticed: The gas tank is way too small I outrun my headlights at night - even with brights on, they...

    Rear reflector mod from amazon

    I’m also wondering if I can omit the brake lights so this is turn signal or hazards only. Like the Lyriq. Possible or no?

    Rear reflector mod from amazon

    Anyone know if the startup sequence can be disabled? All else looks good and the design and turn signal display matches the Lyriq and also other competitors out there so I'm interested. But the startup sequence is too boy-racer and doesn't fit the character of Cadillac to me .. Let me know!

    CT5-V CT5BW - should tall guys get the high performance seats?

    I'm 6'4" 225#s. My dad's 6'4" 290#s. We don't fit in Miatas, Corvettes, etc. etc. Our CT5-V BW high-performance seats were fantastic on our 4500 mi. road trip and I disagree w/ C&D. I didn't plan on the seat upgrade, we just sort of .. ended up with it. The seats are still awesome today. I have...

    Engine Failure

    How/were you maintaining it? It reads the issues are being resolved - how is this related to lemon laws when 2-3X failures and X/time at a dealership (depending on state) is required? Also do you baby it or flog it or in-between? Honest questions, please lmk. Link the youtube video.

    CT5-V BW Aux / Driving Lights, Lightbar

    Has anyone installed aux lights on their CT5-V Blackwing? I keep outdriving my lights.... Even the brights. I plan to install a lightbar and/or 2 aux driving lights because of it. I'd like to wire the lights so it turns on with the brights. Has anyone already worked through this and does anyone...

    CT5-V Auto Dimming Rearview Mirror

    Check this out: Fuse Box Diagram Cadillac CT5 (2020-2022) Also if the dimming isn't working, make sure you don't have a dashcam or radar detector or anything in the windshield. I fought with the rearview mirrors until we realized either of those things near it causes interference and/or issues...
