I collected my 4BW yesterday and declined OnStar. The salesman spend several minutes on the computer to record my opting out and assured me I was not registered with OnStar and would not be.
On the way home I was surprised to find that the Nav still worked. Is this normal, or is it an...
Mine arrived at the dealer (BC) on April 16, build date was March 13.
I was told to expect it in mid May and received no information until the call that it had arrived. Caused a bit of a scramble to get my trade appraised and the money organized. I pick it up next week.
I back out as soon as it starts. My concern is the unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide that cars spew before the catalytic converter heats up. I want to keep those at a minimum in my attached garage.
The human doesn't have time to listen to everything that is said in the car. I don't want Google to hear and store a summary of all my conversations. That is too creepy for me.
Now that it is clear that the OnStar module is easy to access, I was thinking I might subscribe and just disconnect...
Thanks for the great information.
Do you know whether the dealer can download the data stored in the TCU? If so, any idea how long the data are stored? It would need some storage capability for times with there is no cellular connection for OnStar, but I hope it's overwritten every few days.
In addition to speeding, braking and accelerating hard, are high cornering loads reported?
Reason I ask is that I very seldom do any of that except for high g turns. My cornering speed is usually close to what is called excessive speed here - 40 km/hr over the posted limit (not the corner...
Quite a few posters there say the only way to be sure of privacy is to remove the OnStar module. It seems to be fairly easy to do on the Camaro, and it is reversible. OnStar (privacy issues and hacker susceptibility) was by far the biggest negative when deciding to try to purchase a BW, so I...
Yesterday Car and Driver posted a test of the 2023 CT4 on its website and had this to say about the 2025 refresh: "The bigger CT5's mid-cycle redo is already public, and it's believed that the CT4 isn't far behind."
Several months ago they posted that the CT4 likely would end with the 2024...
This has been an interesting and civil discussion.
One thing I find a bit annoying is the assumption that everyone's opinion on global warming is a belief, in the religious sense of the word. As an agnostic, the only thing I believe is that no one, including me, knows anything for certain...
I'm surprised that no one pointed out the problem with this argument. We do not have multiple earths to use for a randomized, controlled trail. Asserting that one is necessary before we do anything about greenhouse gas emissions is the same as claiming that we should never do anything about...
I've never heard of anyone importing a brand new car from the US. There are complicated rules for used cars, and new cars might simply be banned. Or maybe it's because you would have to take the car back to the US for warranty work.
Thanks, Dirkbg. Unfortunately checking inventory doesn't work very well here in western Canada. I have to build a car for a particular city on the Cadillac website, then ask for similar inventory at other dealers. That inventory is often incomplete or wrong, as I have found by checking...
New member - first post.
I put a deposit on a CT4V Blackwing a couple months ago after reading numerous road tests and this forum, and finally getting a test drive. I'm willing to wait a year or more to get one, assuming production continues in 2025.
My first real enthusiast car was a C5 Z06...
