    Oil Catch Can Installation

    What are you up to w/ the catch can? Is there visible oil when you pull the supercharger cover? I looked into doing this several months ago and found posts where Mirza and co. stated the CT5-V LT4 had an integrated catch can (recirculator really) that works well. Ref: Catch can for the LT4

    Cargo organizer

    I use three hand baskets from grocery stores. They fit in the CT5 trunk perfectly for moving things to/from and around considering my grocery store(s) are consistent. Or use hippy granola bags. Don't overcomplicate life. ;)

    Silver State Classic Challenge

    Sustained 100MPH on Louisiana/Texas flat (which means FLAT) is ~15-18MPG. Err, wait .. I mean in Mexico. That's the only reason I know. :)

    2025 CT5 BW - AKG Settings

    I always use Red Hot Chili Peppers - Behind the Sun to tune stereo systems I've built or set up. My settings are: Audio -> Sound Equalizer -> +11 bass, +0 Midrange, +1 Treble, +5 Surround I'll sometimes change it to +8 bass or lower for highly-produced hip hop. Fade/Balance -> 4 clicks...

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    Is that bc the knob’s where the shifter is I assume? Interesting. I use knob vs. steering wheel controls 50/50 w/ kids. Knob to go up/down rapidly and steering wheel controls for small vol changes. I hadn’t thought about this much until now..

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    What’s the deleted volume knob reference? Curious to get more info on the manual transmission blind spot omission and volume knob deletion 2025+.. I’d like to see why/how just manuals.

    CT5-V ZL1 1LE transmission in 5BW? Or, how the 5BW is a 7-speed missing 6th gear.

    5th gear should be slightly shorter for track use, then perfect in every way.

    2025 Fat A** BMW M5

    Hmm.. I really like heavy, fast cars. Odd man out here but I think BMW has done well with these cars. They feel really good cruising with that much power and that much weight. Even if heavy, it's still tossable on the track. I almost bought an M5CS vs. the Blackwing last year. It was the manual...

    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...
