    Disabling GM's ability to track my CT5V Blackwing

    What they didn’t tell you is when you sign up for onstar you are enrolled. No one here selected a smart driver subscription.

    This just talks about responding to questions you ask with generative AI. I see no problem with that.

    App is the not the differentiator on tracking you. The paperwork you signed and onstar activation is what does it.

    For auto cars you can use it to remote start the car. For manual cars it's mostly just looking at data. I've used it to check fuel level, tire pressures, and even set a geofencing alert for when my car was in the shop getting PPF so I could make sure they weren't joyriding the thing. I actually...

    I think one other thing that people should consider is that LN only has the preceding six months worth of data. Turn off smartdriver, hope it stays off, and in six months your record is clean again.

    Ha! I was right. NYT does the leg work and car mags just repost and change some wording. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a60175396/connected-cars-driver-data-tracking-insurance/

    Anyone Foul an RR12YS Plug in 7000 miles?

    I've owned eight forced induction cars, currently have two, and this is nonsense to me.

    The auto-enrollment is puzzling. I turned mine off the day I bought my car and it hasn’t turned itself back on. Multiple updates to the app too.

    The NYT article points out that language stating what 3rd party providers receive data from GM ONLY mentions SiriusXM and no one else.

    Yeah vettes and camaros both had this blue (but I'm 90% they called it something different even though it was the same) EDIT: Confirmed. Boracay Blue Metallic, and Brilliant Blue Metallic both have the same paint code WA895T

    Questions from an overthinking/over prepared engineer impatiently waiting his Ct4-V B.W.

    If I didn't get the bronze wheels on my car I would be replacing them with something aftermarket as I don't really like the other options. Totally understandable to grab a set of those nice Apex wheels.

    Media dumps

    It's a little difficult to photograph accurately but I think these represent them the best. I don't have a ton of good pictures because I just can't seem to get it to show properly.

    The info is there for others to grab, you might as well know what they are seeing!

    Manual trans owners--both 4 and 5

    Yeah really the only problem I have with the transmission is when it's cold that 1-2 shift is a little crunchy.

    I bought mine new, but they also couldn't verify my identity. I called LN and it was a bug in their system not reading my address correctly. The person on the phone corrected it with me on the line and resubmitted. It's not car related, it's something screwed up with their verification process...

    We live in a world where youtube 'journalists' like MKBHD can post a review of a dumb Fisker vehicle that will get more engagement than the NYT will about literally tracking your everyday life. People's priorities are F'd.
