    CT5-V 5BW OE wheel locks

    Ordered them with my car along with ordering locking lugs. However, the black ones didn't ship with the car, so I ended up with standard silver locking nuts. When the dealer got the black ones, it was a fight for them to not have to pay a separate charge for the additional 4 locking black...

    Cadillac V-Club

    I belong to the NW chapter covering the Seattle (and broader) area. They have quarterly events (track events, scenic cruises, car shows, etc.), holiday party, sponsor discounts (e.g., 15% off Michelin tires from authorized retailers), etc.. I also have BMW CCA and I've only held onto it in...

    Separating CT4-V CT5-V CT6-V Blackwings

    Could be, probably condition based which makes sense. I didn't notice at.Spring Mountain nor my local track which is significantly faster.

    Separating CT4-V CT5-V CT6-V Blackwings

    I prefer the term 'track-focused' :) I prefer my A10 for the track and have other cars including a manual if I get the itch for something else.

    Heater Ticking Sound

    I drive in the 40s all the time here and haven't heard this one with 30k miles on the odometer.

    Anyone's Tech Bronze Wheels Fade?

    I think the wheels look a bit faded (from memory as I have black wheels, but want Tech Bronze) but on my monitors, there isn't a significant difference in color between the wheel and caliper.

    Does anyone have this Option? Is it worth having?

    I think it's just an add-on dash cam option. It does seem to have 2-channel recording including the interior rear-facing camera which neither PDR nor Surround Vision have.

    Steel rotor brake pad replacement

    I've yet to find replacement OEM rings for these brakes on the 5BW (or the V3 before.)

    Kill switch in 2026

    While the original intent is noble, a mechanism for law enforcement to deal with people driving under the influence, I can understand why people are mistrusting of our government having this capability in their hands. At this point, we simply don't know the constraints on how and when this...

    Dealer damaged my roof lining?!?

    I've had a slew of black cars including my 5BW because I'm a masochist I guess. My dealership knows to never wash my cars but as some have experienced, your car can arrive with scratches as they often get a lot wash when moved from interim storage to having the plastic applied. I've even seen...

    Performance Chips

    First I've heard of it (and of course don't see the same on the 5BW side.) Can you drop a screenshot here for us? I'm sure someone can suss this out. Come to think of it, didn't Tapout or Trifecta come up with tuning packages for the 4BW? I wonder if Cadillac is reselling those directly? It...

    Turn off front collision. Video inside.

    I'd call that hopefully an infrequent and minor inconvenience and weigh it against the benefit of preventing even a minor incident with a car or pedestrian. That said, you can turn it off (I do it for track days) but I'm out of town away from the car and can't tell you how from memory.

    QQ: what's latest status on magnesium wheels?!?

    That's not a win...more revenue per unit but much fewer units than originally planned.

    CT4-V Windshield Replacement Woes (Don't be like Me)

    I inherited a large crack/craze about a month ago. The chip repair didn't work out that well, so I went to order a full windshield through Safelite. There was about a 5-day lead time for an appointment for an aftermarket windshield and they said about 2-3 weeks for them to get an OEM one from...

    This was weird.

    I've had the same indexing request for the sunroof a couple of times as well (I think after an OTA update as I hadn't disconnected the battery either time.)

    Maverick Noir Frost

    No yelling, just want to be sure you're aware ceramic is for paint surface protection and PPF is for paint protection. Ceramic won't stop your paint from getting chipped and there are matte finished PPF products if that's a concern. Otherwise, enjoy the car regardless of which way you go with...

    Can I get your opinions on my front rotors

    Which GiroDiscs? Can you share the mfg part #? Someone else just shared a list of compatible pads including Girodiscs here: KNSBrakes | Products | <!-- -->2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing - Iron Discs

    Steel rotor brake pad replacement

    Oh, can't help with that. Mine don't squeal but the high brake dust is an annoyance I'll take to keep the shorter stopping distance you won't get with harder low dust pads.
