    CT5-V Help me find my Car! New Member looking for a 5BW.

    Here are the descriptions for the three available seat levels from order guide for the 2022 5BW. am pretty sure these descriptions and codes remained the same thru 2024 MY (and possibly even thru today). You won't find the RPO codes (AQx and Hxx) on the window sticker but one of the Seat Trim...

    Range AFM Unit

    Yes, it's accurate. The ECM controls when a circuit board shuts down 4 cylinders via solenoid during low load conditions. All of the LT4s are supposedly the same but the ECM in the MT never triggers the shutdown. A couple of informative videos on how the system works.

    T-Boned a Red Light Runner in my 5BW 😠 Adios collectible value

    Yep. All badges replaced except for Chevy bowtie on the center of the steering wheel as the whole piece is a supposedly a single part including air bag and horn all combined. So it's a chunk of change to replace it for the sake of just the badge.

    T-Boned a Red Light Runner in my 5BW 😠 Adios collectible value

    It's so true. Similar thing happened to my son almost 3 years ago in his 2020 Grand Cherokee, except it was him who got t-boned. At an intersection less than half a mile from our house, traffic light turned green, he proceeded to enter the intersection only to have an 84 year old lady run the...

    Paint color & wheel combination ?

    THIS^^^ I've never been able to capture in a photo the depth of the color created by the sun or LED lights reflecting on the metallic flakes. All the more reason to see these reds in person on a sunny day. You can definitely see the pink and orange hues in my sunny photo, but it's way deeper...

    Paint color & wheel combination ?

    Thanks. My car is ceramic coated (no PPF), and water does repel to help cut down on the dirt after rainy driving. But when it does get a good build up of dirt, it's still masked pretty well until you're up close to it (5-7 feet away). As for tires, I have the stock PS 4Ss that I use April...

    T-Boned a Red Light Runner in my 5BW 😠 Adios collectible value

    As others said, first and foremost, you are ok. Push insurance on the diminished value. It's not going to be a lot but better than nothing. I will say that I had expected to see a bit more damage for a 25 MPH t-bone collision. While hard to think there would be frame damage with what appears to...

    Paint color & wheel combination ?

    I have a 2022 infrared tintcoat (2022 and 2023 red color) with satin graphite wheels and red calipers. Infrared was sunset at the end of the 2023 MY for the red tintcoat starting in 2024 MY. The main difference in the colors is that the infrared has some pink and orange fleck added to the base...

    Range AFM Unit

    Correct. No AFM in cars with MT nor is there a V8 dash indicator of any sort like you see in photo of my original post.

    Range AFM Unit

    My 2022 5BW with auto has AFM. It only comes on when in Tour mode and generally only while coasting with little to no throttle. I believe the 2023-2026 5BW autos continue to have AFM as well. See my original post on this AFM? (thread here) Since I rarely drive in Tour mode, it's hardly ever...

    Probably Dumb Questions

    I have a '22 5BW and have had this happen a couple of times during my first year of ownership. But it has not happened since then in the subsequent 3 years. It is very odd. Same resolution for me. Started the car and trunk worked again. I chalked it up to electric gremlins.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Allocations for the 250 were opened and all taken up on Feb 1, 2021. I was told that the 250 5BWs were gone in 3 minutes and the 250 5BWs were gone in 90 mins. Then order banks for these allocations opened in early March 2021 and closed sometime in late March or early April AFAIR. If your...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I secured my order online for one of the first 250 5BWs right at the time they opened the online allocations on Feb 1, 2021 at 7pm. Actually my wife aland I were both separately online vyjng to secure an allocation. In fact we both secured one. I lhen asked her, "So, his and hers?". I got a much...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I had a similar charge ($29.xx) for my first oil change though it had a proper GM part number. It turned out to be fuel additive to supposedly clean the injectors. They said it is part of their standard oil change service. I asked, "at a 1000 miles"? I complained a bit and then they removed the...

    CT4-V VMR V802 Anthracite on Wave Blue + Pilot Alpin Winter + Center cap Adapters

    Great write up. I love the look of these wheels especially the OEM style of the bronze but with a dark finish. I wish I knew about these before I bought a second pair of OEM satin graphite wheels for my 5BW a couple of years ago for my winter set up which I'm running Michelin AS/4s which have...

    Proximity Locking Questions

    According to the manual, you can disable and re-enable keyless entry by holding the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob for four seconds. If this actually disables the RF transmission capabilities to unlock the doors and trunk, this should defeat those capabilities in relay attack, at least...
