Yes yours looks fine - others have had the cap halfway pressed in at best.

2025 CT5 Blacking with Uniden R7 hardwire instructions: For the 2025 CT5 BW- I ordered this wiring kit from Amazon (you will use the smallest pin variant of the 3 provided). Remove the plastic surround attached to the windshield using a 1 inch wide plastic pry tool (Harbor Freight has them...

The 'service update' A252495390 above is what I was provided by the dealer. If I get more details I will share here ASAP.

I've been super busy at work and haven't had time to properly document the issue I encountered in a new thread, yet. For those of us lucky to have a 2025 CT5 Blackwing - there is a service bulletin posted today for ALL 2025 CT5 Blackwings to have the oil pan checked for a possible...

I haven't been allowed to see it myself at the dealership - but from what I understand its a metal plug inside the circled area that is used during manufacturing and it should never come apart. GM Part 12707561 is the prior version of the oil pan used in earlier LT4 engines. The Service Tech...

Apparently they have to remove the exhaust, headers and who knows what else to swap the oil pan out. I was never provided a written estimate when I strongly pushed back on paying nearly $7k to fix a car with 600 miles on the odometer. I thought the Service Manager was joking at first.

Officially, once they deemed it a valid warranty repair they told me the oil pan needs replaced which is a 25 shop hour service procedure. They have not been able to source the oil pan so they are exploring other options now. I'm considering what things GM can do to restore my trust in their...

Funny enough - the Service Advisor and Service Manager had no idea the engine is "hand built" by a single person and their name is proudly displayed on the top of the engine plaque. I politely asked they forward their findings about the issue back to the engine builder/their management in...

The exact wording in the owners manual is "recommended" not required fwiw - I looked it up. Someone else on the forum also pointed out previously that at exactly 501 miles on the odometer the engine redline on the dash changes from 4k to normal. Why program it at exactly 501 miles versus 1501 if...

It's pretty well known the data logging on modern cars is extensive and I had no reason to tell anything but the 100% truth since at the time it definitely appeared to be a failure in the oiling system (I initially guessed an oil line burst while investigating during my 2 hour wait for the...

It was actually on a 2 lane curvy back road at night and I was lucky nobody was immediately behind me. The rear tires were completely coated in oil when I was able to find a driveway to coast into. Fwiw, if you ever have to turn the motor off while driving you have to hold the stop/start button...

I'm preparing a full write up to post in its own thread - but speaking of Goat Rodeos - my 2025 CT5 Blackwing with 607 miles on it ejected a metal plug in the oil pan the first time I crossed 5k rpm and emptied the engine of all its oil at 70+ mph. The car has been sitting at the local dealer...

Yes Yes, my 2025 was basically loaded but the CF seatbacks were on constraint so they ordered them with an option code to that removes the CF seatbacks but keeps the highest tier seats. In the performance subforum I noticed a vendor offering carbon seat backs for 3k yesterday - so totally doable.

'25 5BW MT Radiant Red Tintcoat Jet Black with Jet Black accents, Full Semi-Aniline 86-137 Options:

Someone who is connected inside GM shared with me recently that Cadillac has gone through like 5-6 different suppliers for the carbon fiber pieces in/outside the car since the BW was introduced. Most of them have gone bankrupt and new suppliers found - that is the reason for inconsistent supply.

The Blackwing King at Sewell (Dustin) is who I worked with to custom order my '25 BW at sticker price. Highly recommend him! That said, I did have to wait in line for an allocation which took a long time, but I know the wait is worth it.

I don't recall the exact key sequence (I believe you hold down the start button with the engine off for more than 10 seconds to force a car reboot) but when I was researching the infotainment system in modern GM vehicles (I work in IT) there is a way to do a hard reboot of the system when this...

There is at least one PP customer car at Sewell in Dallas (not mine).

Yes.
