  1. The computer can and will compensate for lower octane fuel, it will retard the timing to prevent knock. This absolutely will reduce performance and if you get some really bad 87 you may experience knock and you may not hear it. It’s your truck but there is a reason GM recommends higher octane, it might only be for better performance, but isn’t that why you bought the 6.2.
  2. I lived in Northern Virginia for 40 years and have driven in a lot of deep snow on stock tires in Vermont. They have this thing called four wheel drive.
  3. Your beating a dead horse, nothing is available until they crack the code and the trucks can be tuned. Be patient like the rest of us.
  4. I just got 805 a week ago but last update I got, I got another one 2 days later. Bug fixes.
  5. Those were stock on my AT4
  6. Factory tires do fine in the snow.
  7. A ring around here was drilling gas tanks while people were in church, no way to stop them. I would prefer they NOT drill my tank they can have the gas.
  8. I have the bass at minus 12 mids and high bumped a bit to 7. I use Spotify mostly so I use the eq in Spotify to get it tweaked.
  9. Updated yesterday, I noticed Google maps updates faster in CarPlay my Climate Off problem went away two weeks ago so not really noticed a lot of difference yet maybe more stuff I haven’t found yet.
  10. Look right behind the battery on the firewall there is a nipple right next to where all the cables go through on the passenger side, clip the end off the nipple goes right through and comes out on the passenger side. That’s where GM has you run the power wire for the sub.
  11. The old Bose systems were and are very unique, they are a direct reflecting system meant to use the acoustics of the room and placement is critical, just like the Klipsch Cornerhorns I once had they absolutely had to go in a corner. The new Factory Kicker sub unlike its predecessors is in an acoustical enclosure that is down facing much like many home sub woofers. It is in the center of the back seat and very non directional. My dog sleeps on top of it all the time. It will shake the truck if I choose to but I don’t. I use a pink noise generator and a real time analyzer to set it up. I run it flat with a slight bass boost. I majored in acoustical engineering in college and worked in a stereo store back when your Bose were popular, I demoed them a lot in our high end room hooked to a Phase Linear 400 I remember them well. I run a 6.1 all Klipsch system at home now, the Cornerhorns are long gone someone just offered me too much money for them, I had 4 of them in a 20X30 basement room with only 1 chair in the middle of the room. For parties the chair was removed and the room became a dance floor complete with mirror ball. At the time I was a working DJ and computer tech.
  12. Do the same thing you do for Microsoft reboot. I drove 40 miles to the dealer when my park assist quit working, he disconnected the battery and hooked it back up, and boom everything works again. He showed me a tech bulletin about reset the Master system. Don’t cost nothing to try it.
  13. Wrong wrong wrong, it is meant for the full Bose system, that Bose sub woofer sucks! It just farts. I have it installed with the Bose full system. The Bose sub is a 4” piece of crap. This is a 10” sub with an add on amp of 200 watt’s it is not an earth shaking sub but it sounds good and adds a lot. I am sorry but when people post crap that have no clue what they are talking about it pisses me off. The picture posted is my truck with the full Bose system and the Kicker sub installed.
  14. Before I ever saw a 2019 I read they were vents with something up front that opens at speed still have not figured out what they talking about but the engine does run cooler than my 2014.
  15. I played with the switches a lot for me putting 6 up knocks the crossover point down 12db, for me it made the Kicker stop trying to create mid bass gives a much sharper roll over. I like it the Kicker sucks at making mid bass. It’s no JL, but it sounds a helluva lot better that that damn Bose woofer. I did look at thing with a real time analyzer, there is a hole in the mid bass because I have bass at -12, if I unhook the Bose sub I can fix that easy enough.
  16. It’s software I wonder how many updates Microsoft has done.
  17. Funny only the third update for me, new math I guess.
  18. Got 803.1 in April but nothing available for me now, hmmm
  19. Never even seen a carbon pro thought it was a myth.
  20. If you spent $4000 on a stereo yup you are an idiot, the ability to waste money does not make you intelligent, educated or an audiophile, just an idiot. By the way I am an audio engineer.
  21. Wow that was really helpful not sure if you are an audio engineer or an idiot. My Bose with the Kicker sub is not bad working on making it better instead of making stupid generalized statements that help no one. Thanks for sharing.
  22. The Bose mids and highs are not as bad as stock and once you get rid of the damn Bose sub it sounds much better. I think one of the things most of us hate and don’t know it is the automatic noise reduction ANR, there are mics all around the inside of the truck that listen for noise and then generate opposite phase frequency sound waves to cancel the sounds. There is an easy way to turn the damn thing off on the 2018, I contacted the maker he does not know if it will work on the 19 yet. It is a simple plug that is about $25 on Amazon. I have read it makes a big difference. Anyone know where the Bose amp is, I have heard behind the back seat and in the console. No garage to damn hot to tear the truck apart in the sun.
  23. Bass -12 mid +7 treble +7 but I have the Kicker sub, I set it up with pink noise and a real time analyzer. I use the Kicker sub control to adjust bass for the type music. The Bose sub totally sucks.
  24. That carbon fiber would look real cute on a Honda. I think black chrome would look better. I don’t really care about the tips performance is the key.
