    Sporadic Loud Bluetooth Noises on Recipient Caller's Side

    decided to call up the dealer and check in on this... they had no documentation of my visit for this issue in the first place which was very suspect. Additionally, since i am at 40k miles and bumper to bumper warranty ended at 36k, they said it would be ~$150 just for diagnostic. I called GM...

    Aftermarket speakers?

    I made a YouTube how-to video on replacing stock speakers with aftermarket ones (same size, no dremmel cuts). Thanks ee241 for the recommendations: https://youtu.be/dHNYuntv00c

    Aftermarket speakers?

    Thank you for the recommendations! I went with the above recommended setup and am quite pleased. I did not feel as adventurous as you with modifying the cavities but am happy enough with how it went. At the end of the day, to me, the upgrade isn't an astronomic difference but there is certainly...

    Sporadic Loud Bluetooth Noises on Recipient Caller's Side

    I responded to your PM but figured I'd post my latest update here: Update as of 3/10/17: Unfortunately the issue was not corrected. They said since it was happening so infrequently there was little they could do about it. They offered me a free year subscription to SiriusXM and told me if it...

    Sporadic Loud Bluetooth Noises on Recipient Caller's Side

    **UPDATE** Had my dealership appt and was not able to reproduce the issue in front of the technician (happens about one in every 20 calls). Tech's manager said since they couldn't reproduce the issue, they could not troubleshoot it so I should not leave my car there. Instead they will look into...

    Sporadic Loud Bluetooth Noises on Recipient Caller's Side

    I have been having an issue with my bluetooth calling for the last couple months. Sometimes when I am on a bluetooth call, recipients say they hear loud unbearable noises. I have heard they sound like anything from missiles being launched to Transformers noises. It seems the pitches of the...

    Cabin Temp Drains Battery even when AC is OFF???

    Please see my resonses below in blue. Maybe you're just experiencing WINTER. Per my original post, "Very next day I tried lowering the climate temp to close to ambient (still no fan/AC/defrost) ~ 65 F and viola! 5.2 mi/kwh." The variable here is not the season/ambient temperature; I have tried...

    Cabin Temp Drains Battery even when AC is OFF???

    This has been fully repeatable (for me). Would love for others to test this as well. Checked today and does not show up in climate control % or in the kw used next to the speedometer. It behaves very much like the heated seats (which don't show up in my climate control % or in the kw used...

    Winter Range in Connecticut

    While I totally agree with you it would be (and possibly is) very dumb, that is what my experience is showing. If you can, try setting your temp to 85 F (no fan, AC or defrost on) and drive around a bit. And see if your mi/kwh drops off.

    Winter Range in Connecticut

    For those who set their cabin air temp to high for precondition then turn off their AC during their commute, beware that my experience shows even with all AC controls off (no fan, no AC, no defrost), if your cabin air temp is set to above ambient (~80 F in my case for precondition) i think the...

    Cabin Temp Drains Battery even when AC is OFF???

    to my original point, yesterday i sat in the car with it on and all AC controls off. Cabin air temp was set to near ambient (60 degrees). I turned the cabin temp to 80 degrees (without turning on any AC controls) and definitely heard a noise. This leads me to believe that even if all AC...
