    GM N25-250336 update

    There's nothing but sky above the tar and gravel roof over my garage. It gets a decent cell signal. Also, I don't think it would be offering to update if it hadn't already finished downloading.

    GM N25-250336 update

    When I stopped to fill up, returning from a mini-road-trip, I was offered the N25-250336 update. When I got home I tried to install it. It estimates 15 minutes but fails with 13 minutes to go. I've tried several more times with the same results. In other threads I see people say to take the car...

    Blackwing King - Contact Information & Ordering Process.

    When my car arrived at the dealership Dustin asked me if I wanted any extras (e.g. protection packages, ppf, extended warranty, etc.) I said "no" and he finished up the paperwork without any extras.

    Apple car play stopped working today

    When I got my 5BW (2025) I got bluetooth and (wireless) carplay working (iPhone 15pro). More recently I found that the carplay icon was grayed out. I tried many times to get it to reconnect. I would delete the phone from the car and phone, then press the (grayed out) carplay icon and it would...

    2025 CT5 & CT5-V Blackwing Order Support Guide

    I had an order accepted with Sewell in March for a 2025 with all the carbon fiber options. The car was built in May. It doesn't appear to me that the suppliers can make enough parts to satisfy demand but I believe if you're patient you can get the options you want.

    Probably Dumb Questions

    All things are possible when you have fly-by-wire throttle. Basically a game controller. What I'm curious about is how the electric brake system allows for different brake feel.

    Probably Dumb Questions

    [something about my post was generating internal server error on the backend here's the rest] My biggest annoyance (aside from wireless apple carplay choosing to mostly not work) is the ultrasonic cabin motion sensor. When I park in the garage I like to leave the driver window down so I can...

    Probably Dumb Questions

    This. Also, my mode is the default mode. What I did (with my M6 2025) is set my mode to all track except suspension (sport) and exhaust (tour) and set V mode to all track.

    CT5-V Is it possible to turn the engine on without starting the engine?

    And it's completely identical to the "run" position my first three cars had. You put the key in the ignition, the first click was accessory power, the second click was run, the third was the starter motor. Even my C6 goes into run mode if I press the upper start button without depressing the...

    CT5-V Is it possible to turn the engine on without starting the engine?

    Yes, exactly. Thanks! I would call it "run" mode and I think it's silly they call it "service" mode but whatever...

    CT5-V Is it possible to turn the engine on without starting the engine?

    2025 5BW with the 6 speed. In my C6 Z06 if I push the start button without depressing the clutch, I can use a scan tool without running the engine. With the CT5 I just get a popup that tells me to press the clutch (and it does not say to also press the brake -- something I had to figure out on...

    Finally Let the Stingray Go — Blackwing Now My Only Fun Car

    Five weeks ago I had a 2007 C6 Z06 and a 2014 CTS-V which I referred to as "my slow car." Today I have a 2025 CTS-V Blackwing and a 2007 C6 Z06 which is my new "slow car." 1173 HP garage! [edit: yes, I need to update my profile picture; working on it]

    How much of that noise is fake?

    As I understand it ANC is noise canceling some engine frequencies but letting some through. And it's also canceling other noise. I do not believe it adds any engine sound.

    How many infotainment presets do we get?

    Something I found completely counter intuitive with the 2025 steering wheel controls is that they are backwards from every car I've ever encountered; the "up" button goes to the previous preset, "down" goes to the next. (But it certainly was easy to "fix" this, using the audio settings page to...

    Precision Package Owners - How is it?

    I just got the car. I drove it 1/2 mile from the supermarket parking lot where I met the transport and then ~7 miles to dinner and back. It feels a lot more nimble than my '14 CTS-V. A lot of that might be due to brand new 4S tires vs a set with ~10K miles on them. But it feels a lot lighter...

    How much of that noise is fake?

    When I asked they said it's it is based on the RPO code. They also confirmed GMBB4 is the right part number for the UQS sound system. I'll post a followup once I install it.

    How much of that noise is fake?

    lljcustoms has the UQS bypass cable back in stock. It took two months but I think I have an order in that will get filled.

    Proximity Locking Questions

    If the only way to enable keyless entry is by pushing remote buttons, I don't see any way around it. I mean if they can lay hands on the remote it's already game-over. This is a neat feature I hadn't heard about. I was all keyless entry (C6 Z06 and 4th gen CTS-V) for years. It doesn't take...

    Crazy Dealership

    I dunno, I think I prefer the robot paint job where paint thickness is implemented as the engineers designed. I always wondered why GM doesn't factory paint and the warehouse fenders, doors, etc. Seems like they could charge a premium and it would be a way of doing repairs with zero body/paint...

    Anybody running amsoil euro 5w40?

    I don't see 0-40W on that list so that'd be a problem if you had a warranty claim.
