I’m at the dealership now, just took it for a test drive, and getting the ball rolling to complete purchase.

First impression is the the Dark Ash Mettalic is WAY WAY WAY more impressive in person than any photos I’ve seen. It REALLY stands out in a crowd.

Second thing I noticed is that the stereo is very underwhelming. Can’t believe they put the Bose name on this. It absolutely needs an upgraded amp and sub. Might have to get that before the new wheels, tbh.

Pictures tomorrow.

Awesome! Give it a good look over and see if there’s any build issues/paint defects/etc. best to bring those up now than to find them when you get home.

Update: looks like demo mode was the issue with the Bose system. Once I setup the admin account, the stereo was much better. Could still use a bump in the bass dept, but it sounds pretty good.

Also the speed limit sign is empty. Still need to complete the welcome call with onstar, so it may be that, we’ll see.

ah good to know, i thought the sound in ours was pretty decent, better than most stock sound systems I have had. Wondered if something had changed.

what are you talking about they can be remotely disabled why do you think all the newer cars have a mandatory remote disable chip installed?? it's not for the fun of it

see Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act


for "DUI" now for later on it's to prevent you from going anywhere for something you said or climate lock down

think for a second have a independent thought...

short of physically removing the onstar system from the vehicle you won't get around big brother having access to your ride (these new ones also have google spying on you) but suggesting the govt is going to disable all of our vehicles in a climate lockdown situation and they've been planning to do so since 1995 is pretty far out there...maybe they'll flip the switch for the covid vaccines at the same time and we'll all turn into robots with dead cars in our garages in one fell swoop.

Anyhow, congrats OP you're going to love your new ride!

Congrats. My speed limit sign was blank for about 4 days, now it’s money. I think it takes some time for the head unit to download the local area maps or something…odd, I know. You could hook it up to your home wifi and force a map download of your local area, thus may speed up the process.

How do I know if my stereo is in demo mode or not?

You’re preparing for a climate lock down?
