I think it was like 2500 points that could be spent on various things like 1 month of Onstar or Wifi, etc.

 

Which options do you think are the best values that you could spend the points on?

Posted

Anything you don't spend any money (or a VERY tiny bit on).

The prices on the Chevy website are marked up quite heavily over buying it directly from the manufacturer.  Generally in the 30% range

I used mine to get the GMC puddle lights that replace the plain ones under the mirror. They have a bowtie for the Chevys. I used the points on buying the all weather liners for my wifes car when we got it. Took the price to 1/2 off.

Same here.

I used some of mine to buy a tray that actually makes the consul useful. It's a shame a $61,000 truck doesn't come with a simple tray to organize it.

I got a boatload of those points....totally forgot about them, purchased 19,20 and 21 GM trucks.....isnt it 20k points per truck?....idk what that equates into dollars

I got the front floor liners. I had looked at the WeatherTechs and feel the GM liners are actually of better quality and they fit like a glove!

Same here but found it very difficult to redeem them.

I got the GMC rear cargo mat for my wife's Acadia. had to pay a few bucks, but I'll take the roughly $100 discount the points got me.

Whatever parts you get using your points have them shipped to a participating dealer to save on shipping charges.  I saved $150 in shipping for my rear wheel liners.

 

Not all dealerships participate in the online GMC/Chevy Accessories ship to program.  I had to go thru a dealer that I didn't buy my Trail Boss from, but it was actually closer to my house.

    • The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.    
    • My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.
    • That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
