All things are possible when you have fly-by-wire throttle. Basically a game controller. What I'm curious about is how the electric brake system allows for different brake feel.

[something about my post was generating internal server error on the backend here's the rest] My biggest annoyance (aside from wireless apple carplay choosing to mostly not work) is the ultrasonic cabin motion sensor. When I park in the garage I like to leave the driver window down so I can...

This. Also, my mode is the default mode. What I did (with my M6 2025) is set my mode to all track except suspension (sport) and exhaust (tour) and set V mode to all track.

And it's completely identical to the "run" position my first three cars had. You put the key in the ignition, the first click was accessory power, the second click was run, the third was the starter motor. Even my C6 goes into run mode if I press the upper start button without depressing the...

Yes, exactly. Thanks! I would call it "run" mode and I think it's silly they call it "service" mode but whatever...

2025 5BW with the 6 speed. In my C6 Z06 if I push the start button without depressing the clutch, I can use a scan tool without running the engine. With the CT5 I just get a popup that tells me to press the clutch (and it does not say to also press the brake -- something I had to figure out on...

Five weeks ago I had a 2007 C6 Z06 and a 2014 CTS-V which I referred to as "my slow car." Today I have a 2025 CTS-V Blackwing and a 2007 C6 Z06 which is my new "slow car." 1173 HP garage! [edit: yes, I need to update my profile picture; working on it]

As I understand it ANC is noise canceling some engine frequencies but letting some through. And it's also canceling other noise. I do not believe it adds any engine sound.

Something I found completely counter intuitive with the 2025 steering wheel controls is that they are backwards from every car I've ever encountered; the "up" button goes to the previous preset, "down" goes to the next. (But it certainly was easy to "fix" this, using the audio settings page to...

I just got the car. I drove it 1/2 mile from the supermarket parking lot where I met the transport and then ~7 miles to dinner and back. It feels a lot more nimble than my '14 CTS-V. A lot of that might be due to brand new 4S tires vs a set with ~10K miles on them. But it feels a lot lighter...

When I asked they said it's it is based on the RPO code. They also confirmed GMBB4 is the right part number for the UQS sound system. I'll post a followup once I install it.

lljcustoms has the UQS bypass cable back in stock. It took two months but I think I have an order in that will get filled.

If the only way to enable keyless entry is by pushing remote buttons, I don't see any way around it. I mean if they can lay hands on the remote it's already game-over. This is a neat feature I hadn't heard about. I was all keyless entry (C6 Z06 and 4th gen CTS-V) for years. It doesn't take...

I dunno, I think I prefer the robot paint job where paint thickness is implemented as the engineers designed. I always wondered why GM doesn't factory paint and the warehouse fenders, doors, etc. Seems like they could charge a premium and it would be a way of doing repairs with zero body/paint...

I don't see 0-40W on that list so that'd be a problem if you had a warranty claim.

The fob does not transmit continuously for keyless entry (or push-to-start). When activate the door handle switch (or push the start button) the car sends a (short range) RF challenge to the fob and it responds (also short range). I know with my C6, there are four antennas used for this (one for...

You definitely should not do this during the first 1500 miles.

Looking at this CT5 youtube I found it would appear there are six presets per "page" with no set number, unset presets say "hold to set" I see google builtin also has the XM "tune start" feature (which is not listed in the owners manual). TuneStart allows you to hear songs from the...

(I'm an XM addict...)

Modern GM products tend to let you pick how many presets but I don't see any details in the owners manual. How many do we get (2025 BW5)? (I'm guessing it's 3 or 4 banks of 6 presets.)
