    Proximity Locking Questions

    The fob does not transmit continuously for keyless entry (or push-to-start). When activate the door handle switch (or push the start button) the car sends a (short range) RF challenge to the fob and it responds (also short range). I know with my C6, there are four antennas used for this (one for...

    Is it ok to park with engine on for a while?

    You definitely should not do this during the first 1500 miles.

    How many infotainment presets do we get?

    Looking at this CT5 youtube I found it would appear there are six presets per "page" with no set number, unset presets say "hold to set" I see google builtin also has the XM "tune start" feature (which is not listed in the owners manual). TuneStart allows you to hear songs from the...

    How many infotainment presets do we get?

    Modern GM products tend to let you pick how many presets but I don't see any details in the owners manual. How many do we get (2025 BW5)? (I'm guessing it's 3 or 4 banks of 6 presets.)

    Great chart. The factory lug nuts are stamped with "190 N-M 140 FT-LBS"

    Lug nut torque question

    I always try to go OEM with torque specs (and parts for that matter). My 2014 CTS-V used the same M14x1.5 lug nuts. The first time I messed with them I thought "holy s*** these are tight!" But they are also a lot bigger than the M12x1.5 lug nuts on my C6 Z06 (which are 100 lb/ft).

    How much of that noise is fake?

    I think so. The price is the same and the phone numbers both have Phoenix, AZ area codes. They've been saying that for six weeks...

    How much of that noise is fake?

    It's been three weeks so I sent another message today. Surprise! They are still out of stock. I was able to confirm that the part number is GMBB4. They did not give me a new ETA (nor would they answer why this item is shown as "in stock" on their website...)

    I know there are only about 10 so far but could we please get 2025 added to the search to the "Model Year" search term? (Adding a term for V8V would also be nice.)

    Anybody running amsoil euro 5w40?

    I like using the Ultraguard Gold "race" versions of delco filters. Last I heard it was the only oil filter made from 100% synthetic materials. And it has an anti-drainback check valve. Delco had a demo setup at sema years ago that showed it was the only filter that didn't bypass refrigerated...
