    2025 PDR

    I think they fixed the audio/video sync issue for exports somewhat in the Android version of the app. It's at least close. In the Windows version the audio/video sync ends up several seconds off by the end of a track session, making it unusable. Another issue I noticed after my first track...

    2025 PDR

    Cosworth released a Windows variant of AliveDrive. Super limited functionality right now. I did a quick export of a couple outings and it seems the overlay still has a mistiming as compared to the audio/video just like Android which is pretty annoying...

    Surround Video Recording is out for MY25+

    I checked SPS tonight and there was an update available! Android 14, UQBM, similar to some of the other cars that have gotten Surround Vision Recorder but alas, it's still not there. The APK is on the filesystem but it didn't get installed. The only discernable difference I'm seeing is the...

    Surround Video Recording is out for MY25+

    Just checked my 26 with SPS2 and nothing there. Apparently there's a new update spreading out to EVs at least so not just the Escalade anymore.

    CT5-V New '26 5BW: Some Annoyances

    In their infinite wisdom this was an intentional change across a bunch of GM 2026 MY vehicles. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11024771-0001.pdf

    2025 PDR

    Some updates on the current PDR state of affairs... Cosworth Pi Toolbox 14 "lite" (free) doesn't currently support importing PDR data. Pi Toolbox 14 Plus ($6.59/month but you can subscribe/cancel any time) does support 2025+ PDR files. @poor-sha's pre-built workspace is great to get started...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    I just counted from the AliveDrive app and got exactly 12 laps (counting out/in) in each of the 4 sessions so 48 laps total. Essentially a session less 😢.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    It was nice meeting you! I enjoyed hanging out with you and the other guys. Your lap times were super impressive with no track experience. The instructor only did a 1:21 in my car. I had a bit of a different experience with the track instruction and left somewhat frustrated. I definitely picked...

    Did you do or are doing V academy

    The PDR is the same for 25 and 26 5BW as well as the 26 Corvette.

    Did you do or are doing V academy

    Is Spring Mountain running 2025/2026 MY cars? Curious which version of the PDR they've got.

    CT5-V Track prep - Steel Brake cooling parts

    How necessary are the extra brake cooling bits for track days with the 5BW with steel brakes? They seem like a bit of a chore to install and I can't imagine swapping back and forth before/after track days. Does anyone have experience tracking their car without them? Or leaving them on for...

    Surround Video Recording is out for MY25+

    The infotainment is primarily developed by Google (a software company). GM just takes it and integrates with the vehicles. Just like how Samsung does with Android on phones. Seems to work ok for that market.

    Surround Video Recording is out for MY25+

    For my 26, the latest software available according to GM SPS2 hooked up to my car doesn't have any new updates available and the one installed doesn't have this enabled. I'm guessing that Escalade gets these updates first then they flow down to others. I'll keep checking SPS to see if anything...

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    Perhaps I'm just a dummy but I often see the mirror turn signal indicators flash and think it's the blind spot alert and then think "oh shit there's a car there" and then realize it's just my blinker.

    Blackwing Child Car Seat Fitment

    My 2yr old loves riding in the 5BW. Plenty of room with rear-facing Graco Extend2Fit.

    GM N25-250336 update

    Would you be able to upload the USB content somewhere so I could download and compare to mine? I'm really curious if the data is the exact same, which I'm pretty sure it is. Or I uploaded mine here and you could do a binary compare against mine. 7.42 GB file on MEGA If they are exactly the...

    Thoughts on purchasing a used blackwing that was a V academy car. Try to get at bargain price or avoid at all costs??

    Being a press car would be as much if not a bigger red flag to me than SM. Press absolutely does not observe the breakin period.

    2025 PDR

    Cosworth says there's updates to the apps in the works to support PDR 2.5 in the 2025+ PDR and a beta now that lets you open it in Pi Toolbox. https://www.cosworth.com/motorsport/support/support-forum/?p=/post/how-do-i-even-get-started-2025-ct5v-blackwing-pdr-software-13637493?pid=1342743434
