    Service Repair Manual?

    It's pretty good. Most connectors have diagrams showing what is what. I depinned the 3 ANC mics, and finding them couldn't have been easier. There are harness routing diagrams as well, but the detail is only okay.

    Service Repair Manual?

    For what it's worth...I bought the 3 day pass for $22, and for some reason I had access for like 2 months, ha. I even checked to make sure they weren't charging me $22 every 3 days.

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    Whenever I hear, "a service advisor said, or a service manager said..." I just remember those are SALES jobs, not technical jobs.

    TOW Hook Specs

    I tried like hell to get the rear tow hook cover off, but decided to stop before I really jacked up my paint. Did you have any issues? I have had other cars where they come out pretty easily.

    Driving Shoes Recommendations

    Onitsuka Tiger Serrano. They are super comfortable and very minimal which is good for driving.

    Window tint advice

    I originally took this picture as a joke to illustrate that the CT5 and Civic are the same exact car, but it's a good example of how the interior makes a huge difference on how the tint looks. Both are 35% ceramic tint (BW is Autobahn i3, Civic is Xpel Prime XR+). I think the high end tint films...

    Disabling GM's ability to track my CT5V Blackwing

    GM probably doesn't even use OnStar to track your activity... probably easier to buy the info from Google... probably.

    CT5-V AFM for manual CT5-V Blackwing

    It was literally on the way to flogging it on track. I made up the mpg there, don't worry.

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    It doesn't change the fact that you 100% have to push the button on the fob to unlock the car. Having the signal from the key is useless in this case.

    CT5-V AFM for manual CT5-V Blackwing

    Flat road, WITH stoplights every few miles. 55mph speed limit helps.

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    Instead of buying a pouch and leaving that on your counter top (or wherever you leave your keys), and putting the key into it, which maybe takes 4 seconds, you push the lock and unlock button for 4 seconds...not hard, it's not like you are disabling the feature forever. When you leave your...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    The key still emits the signal. If you pull the handle with the key in your pocket, the lights flash, but the car doesn't unlock.

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    You can turn off keyless unlocking on most vehicles. They all work a little differently, but in the end, using "signal boosters" to easily steal a car becomes impossible. You physically have to push the unlock button on the fob to unlock and start the car. No need for a Faraday cage, or I've...

    Don't need AFM, just a light foot.

    Disabling GM's ability to track my CT5V Blackwing

    The telematics box is in the trunk on the right side #1. Just disconnect that and see what happens. You are going to lose GPS and XM radio, plus who knows what else?

    22 / 23 CT5-V Blackwing differences

    I don't think the 23s really have 16 speakers, but who knows. The service manual for the 23 actually leaves out a pair of speakers, but otherwise the speaker list is the same. All speakers are pairs except for the first line. 2023 2022

    22 / 23 CT5-V Blackwing differences

    For the CT5V BW, there is no engine sound from the speakers. There is no microphone. I have scoured the electrical system schematics and I see nothing that would indicate this. The RPO code on CT5s that do have engine sound enhancement is NKD. The CT5 does have ANC, and there are 3 microphones...

    PSA: Idiot dealers will use the WRONG oil for your BW

    I wonder if I can talk the dealer into giving me 9 quarts and a filter instead of having them do the first free oil change.

    TOW Hook Specs

    The 5BW tow hook has left hand threads for some reason, so there's that. Also, I couldn't even get the rear tow hook receptacle cover out of my bumper with a rubber trim removal tool. I just had to make sure I didn't get stuck nose in in a sand pit on track.
