OMFG, @4banger. Cry a little more. If you don't want to be on the road, then don't be. Normal people have embraced technology. I guess we should go back to cracking coconuts with rocks for sentience, according to you. https://www.iihs.org/topics/advanced-driver-assistance Driver aids help when driving long distances. I have spent much of my time driving 500+ miles at a time. I refuse to go back to a life without them. Again, I'm certain my nannies are safer with me than you are without. But tell yourself what you want. Furthermore, nobody said the "liability" wasn't on the driver. Again, it's an aid. NOT A REPLACEMENT. Very few cars are level 3. So instead of coming into another guys thread who is asking for help and whining because they bought this, why don't you just mind your own business? Nobody asked for your opinion about driver assistance technology. (sorry OP, didn't mean to threadjack)

@4banger The data shows otherwise. Just because the news makes a ruckus when someone abuses it, the data shows it's significantly safer than without. But hey, you are obviously the best driver on the road, period. So no need for the nannies for you.

Look up the ecoflow wave 2. It will accomplish what you are looking for with it's own power source. (battery.) for about 6-8 hours. It pulls about 400w under heavy usage. 200 under light use. Add a second battery or a solar panel and you can run it all day or longer.

Wow, way to show how little you know about these things. You are still driving. You are still in charge. You are still responsible. These aren't hands off driving devices, so stop spreading fud about stuff you don't understand. Level 2 driving isn't "hands off" driving. I promise, even with my comma's limitations, it's still probably a better driver than the "average human in public spaces".

I guess it doesn't automatically update in anyway?

What's the best way to check and see if there is a leak? I've never noticed any wetness in the rear, but my truck smells like mildew, or something, lately.

Posts like this completely miss the point. I don't, nor do anyone I know, care so much about "blacked out". We just don't want chrome. I don't need black wheels, or black trim. I'm fine with aluminum "base" colored wheels. I'm just not driving a peterbuilt, nor do I want to look like I am. It can be claimed that "people don't like that", but even the Escalade doesn't come with excessive chrome. So, maybe this mentality that everyone loves "chrome" might be incorrect?

That's a good way to keep me from buying. I don't buy an RST. I want every option available. I almost didn't buy my truck due to the still excessive chrome of even the HC. I don't even care for "blacked out", if it could just be black or body colored.

I don't care so much about "blacked out" as i do about *NO CHROME*. I'm fine with body colored. I'm fine with black. I hate every aspect of chrome. The fake chrome inside, the awful chrome outside, etc. This isn't a "19 y/o" fanboy take, and I really don't like that it is assumed that "younger" adults can't afford this. It may be associated with "luxury" for boomers due to the trends of their generation, but it's not for everyone else. I don't see a M-B decked out in all chrome. I don't see a BMW with generous amounts of chrome. (Although both do have some, unfortunately, of the fake variety). Those groups, as garbage like the "Cybertruck" show, are clearly underserved in favor of the boomers that are mostly all on SSI and depleting their lack of savings at this point.

What bothers me is even stepping up to the HC doesn't get rid of the chrome. THey have to include that god awful non-sense on everything. I have wrapped most of it away, but it should be easier than that. Heck, if anything, chrome should be an option. I don't think it's as popular as it's made out to be.

Do you have the firmware info? Is this for the new trucks or the 19-22.5? (yours says 22, but i don't know if that is pre/after refresh.)

You are correct. Toyota has also been lambasted for their non-committal stance. They had previously stated they wanted more PHEV's and were hammered by the media. I feel like they are the only ones run by sane individuals anymore.

I have a pre-refresh truck. 2021. My bad, I missed you have a 2023. I think they just have crap hardware for these. IMO.

I honestly whole heartedly agree. I can't imagine what keeps her job secure. I get planning for the future, but clearly headwinds are there for BEV's, and they have yet to make one that was reliable. Look at the bolt fires. I've never understood why there wasn't more of a clawback clause for CEO's who run their companies into the ground. Honestly, there are so many ways they can monetize their current userbase without locking BS behind subscriptions. I think, if they had people remotely intelligent running the show, they could charge a sub for *new* features, roads, etc on supercruise. However, charging to be able to use the hardware is BS. Further, you know that the sub still won't replace parts if something breaks, which is even more of a scam. One should be able to use it in the cars most recent state of purchase with no sub. Then, upcharge to add the newest mapped roads, etc. Just like if they were smart, they could monetize us by allowing upgradable access to things for non-new vehicles. I would gladly pay for additions that come with factory support. No different than they sell accessories. A perfect example would be selling the refresh interior components and have them be plug and play. It's not like they re-engineer the wheel for each gen or sub gen, as evidenced by many people here using T1 parts across the generation. I'm convinced they are run by the lowest common denominator of society. As are most corporations.

Can you share the switch you used?

My wireless charging has been spotty with my Fold 4, and my previous S20 FE. Usually I can only get it to work with no case and some trial and error. I just always use the power cord.

I would like to know the same.

Oh, I know. Obviously there are always going to be some deadspots. I just meant it's not like the Dakotas or something.

According to this, there aren't tons of dead spots. Justify not paying for it, it's your money. It's worth it to me to pay 86+ tax a year to not be limited to 100ft of range. Even my last car I had a viper RS put in for this reason. Remote start is useless if it can't be used until you are walking to the vehicle. https://www.att.com/5g/coverage-map/

7.99/mo for remote start and 14.99/mo for unlimited data. I find it hilarious all the people here that whine about 7.99/mo on a 60-70k vehicle. I travel for work and it's nice to be able to start my truck walking off the plane. The remote is out of range half the time, and I never have that issue with the plan.

30,800 miles, cylinder 7 lifter decided to commit suicide. Spoke too soon. Does anyone know if there are higher quality aftermarket replacements? God knows I don't want to deal with this again.

This is a convoluted question, but I would like to add an inline battery to the hotspot/onstar unit, or add a shutdown timer. I only need about 6-8 hours. I'm looking to accomplish this due to adding an wifi incab temp monitor for leaving the furry one in the truck for short periods. Then crank as needed to cool or warm the truck. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears. I know they make an rv units, but I prefer non proprietary temp sensors. And they ask a laughable 30/month and it seems to not even do instantaneous monitoring. (I think like 30sec to 1 min updates) Please no lectures about not leaving animals in a car. I'm asking to do what I am doing so I can do so safely for her.

Keep us updated. I would like a bigger screen. I wouldn't mind seeing if wams gets the 10 inch Tahoe screen working, then we might could get the 13.4 inch screen working from the new ones.

I have the factory hard folding cover and it's been great. I get very minor leakage around the back tailgate in car washes and heavy rain, but its very minor. When we go out of town we load everything in the bed and don't worry about it. Even when it's rained, it's been very minor drops at the gate.

So dumb. I actually use that for my phone. Why remove it? Gm baffles me with their silly decision making.
