    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...

    My backup plans were: New BMW M5, New BMW M5CS, New or Used 6.2L GMC Sierra Crew Cab +Supercharger, New or Used Bentley Bentayga (preferably hybrid), in that order. For 1.5 years I had a CT5-V Blackwing order in at two dealerships while staying consistent watching in-transit flow from...

    Dirtier but not dirtiest.

    Post your dirty photos

    Not the dirtiest from the 4500 delivery FL -> WA, but one of the best. More to come (when I feel like it.) :)

    Square All-Seasons and 1-1.5” Lift?

    That’s pretty sweet and I admire all car culture, but no, more subtle. 🤣 My worst-case is me needing to get out of a situation, popping a tire if a curb’s hopped etc., and having the car on wheel only. So whatever might help there. It's sounding like 20” run-flats are it. 0.5-1” lift springs...

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

    I saw they’re listed with a checkbox on a 2024 dealer spec sheet. It was a Sewell screenshot iirc. Maybe that doesn’t mean anything.

    Aftermarket or Hacked Remote Start - Manual Transmissions

    Has anyone put remote start on their manual transmission blackwings? Anyone know of an aftermarket or vehicle control unit hack solution? The setting to heat the steering wheel or heat/cool the seats based on initial temp is nice. Remote start would be better.

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

    Has anyone spec’d and received OEM magnesium wheels from the factory yet? Pics, info?

    Anyone considered re-gearing the manual, or maybe change rear-end ratio?

    More bang bang no lift without felony speeds would sure be fun though.

    2025 5BW updates

    It worked Thanks! I will not back down it’s odd as hell and unexpected a phone disconnect button functions as mute/pause/play though. But I’m glad it does.

    2025 5BW updates

    Thanks, I’ll try tomorrow. I’m often driving in the dark with backlighting dim. All light modules should color and dim the same on a luxury marque imo.. HUD vs. home/volume vs. lower button panel vs. upper onstar and sunroof panel all slightly different. Shame! Shame! ;) But seriously though...

    Anyone have a 5V Blackwing I can test drive??

    The CT5BW is subtly bonkers. Short shift low RPM pulls 2-5K RPMs make the old school drag guys happy enough. It’s 4K+ shifting through gears where the bonkers comes in. Keep it from going sideways and it just pulls and pulls and pulls through the gears. Traction is def a problem. But you can...

    2025 5BW updates

    Our 2024 CT5BW 6MT weighed 2050# front and 1950# rear (4000# total) at two separate scales. This was with 2 230# people in the front seats and a week of luggage. No clue how much gas we had either time though. 2022 CT5BW 6MT specs show 4123 #s est. so pretty close.
