    Where is the onstar/telematics module in a 2025 5BW?

    My guess is they moved stuff around to make it cheaper/faster to assemble. I submitted some feedback, feels like a rip to pay tribute and not get correct info... I bought mine car new. I'm just trying to tap into one of the (numerous) can buses. Fun facts there are (at least) 10 can buses and...

    Where is the onstar/telematics module in a 2025 5BW?

    I paid for a 3-day subscription to the service manual to answer this and some other questions. It says the K73 module is in the right side rear compartment (trunk). There's a bracket for it but it's not there! It's not in the left side either. (I'm guessing they moved it to the glovebox area...

    GM N25-250336 update

    I had a 6A charger hooked up when I started the usb update process and the battery still got down to < 12.2V before it was done. According to some "agm percentage" charges that indicates less than 60% charged. I suspect they got burned so badly by the lyric fiasco that they went too conservative!

    GM N25-250336 update

    It looks like there are two versions: PSC-550S (13.6V @ 55A) and PSC-700S (14.4V @ 70A).

    GM N25-250336 update

    I used SPS2 to install the update last night. Over an hour in total. It took awhile to download (and I have at&t fiber), awhile to "verify", awhile to write the usb, and about 30 minutes to install the update. I ended up with the expected version: burmese_orange-user 12...

    O2 sensor and smog check readiness

    Yesterday when I got a smog check I was at 562 miles and the O2S had not run. Today I'm at 612 miles and all I/M tests are complete! I checked when I got home yesterday (still < 600 miles) and O2S was incomplete. I did not drive more than 30 MPH today so I think the 48-65 guideline is bogus. I...

    O2 sensor and smog check readiness

    I got my smog check, as expected it was a fail. Hours later I do not see the vin listed on the BAR site. Once it makes its way into the database I should be able to call the state and get a waiver. I also got a vin inspection (El Cerrito, CA). Pro tip: you do not need an appointment or to even...

    O2 sensor and smog check readiness

    Here's the service bulletin mentioned in the other thread. It sounds like the cars are not even running the O2S test until some conditions are met. It also says: I tried calling and eventually was told I needed to go get a fail and then I could call back and get a waiver. Page 3 of the...

    O2 sensor and smog check readiness

    That is pretty amusing to me; I reached out to Findlay several times but could not get any response from them. Glad you had better luck. It would have been nice to fly to Vegas and drive home instead of spending $2.5K on an enclosed trailer... Still, I have the car with ever single option I...

    O2 sensor and smog check readiness

    I'm in an adjacent boat; 2025 5BW with 520 miles. My remaining missing I/M test is also O2S. (Also guessing you're also a Sewell customer and live in CA.) I had been using an Autel MS300 to retrieve I/M status but after a couple of years it go flaky so I got an Innova 5210 which I like. This is...

    GM N25-250336 update

    My 2025 says it has the android security patch level September 5, 2024. I have no idea how to map the date to the version...

    MY2026 - What is the ordering process like?

    Every dealer knows one month in advance the number of allocations that they will receive by week for the next 4 weeks.

    MY2026 - What is the ordering process like?

    I waited 13 months for an allocation (but I did get all the carbon fiber bits).

    MY2026 - What is the ordering process like?

    Mine was built on May 21st, 2025 was delivered to the dealer (in Dallas) 27 days later. There are some other details here. Something that helped my transit time was that it shipped via trunk instead of rail.

    GM N25-250336 update

    I had the update grayed out for a day or two and then it re-offered it. Still N/G. Most recently it claims there is no update. Since then Dustin told me the update will always fail of the battery is not fully charged. Apparently they ended up with lots of lyrics with dead batteries in the...

    How much of that noise is fake?

    I've put a few miles on the lljcustoms harness. I've yet to hear the supercharger but then again I've been babying the car because I'm still in the < 1500 mile break-in. One thing I will say is when I'm driving (and the windows are up) it sounds like... well... driving a car.

    Removing wheels over CCB rotors…any concern?

    I bought a set of these from Reverse Logic for my C6 Z06 back in the day (M12 x 1.5). Later he got bought out by Steelman Tools. I have a set of M14 x 1.5 for my 5BW.

    2026 allocation

    In my case I first talked to Dustin at Sewell in February 2024. I wanted CF and at that point he had "50-60" waiting for CF. In June, 2024, I got word that I was #26 on the wait list. In December, 2024 I got word that I was in the "top 5" on the list. In March, 2025 (a Tuesday) Dustin called...
