Just check the mileage when you drop it of then occasionally open and refresh the Onstar app to see if it has any additional miles put on it. ( also good if you loan it to someone or want to keep track of a family member that is using it)

Not if you have a 2010, remote link doesn't work with the 2010.

THIS is annoying!

How do you disconnect BT without ending the call?

Also, if you turn the car off and do not open the door. Placing a call will activate hands free calling.

Double tapping the traction control button will quickly disable tc and stabilitrak.

Your Camaro must have been set up in a different time zone. The dealer sets that up when it arrives at the dealership and as far as I know there isn't a way to reset it.

JC, you're bringing us all down.

Now this is the, "read me a story from my owners manual before bed because I'm not a big boy to read by myself because I don't open books with pictures AND sentences yet" thread?

Don't play kids games. Keep on topic! And use PM'S!

[JCunningham]

I hate it when someone answers a question by PM.

Easy. On the phone itself, hit the "headset" or similar button, depending on your phone, to return the call to the phone itself.

Not on my car. Pressing it once disables TC. Pressing it again, no matter how quickly, enables it again. You have to hold the button for ~7 seconds to disable stabilitrak.

[Papa T]

When you Press and Hold the Call Button on the steering wheel, you get a list of recent calls on the Radio Screen. You use the Scroll (SCR) button to move up and down he list to fine who you want to call. Then Press the Call Button again to make the call.



Kind of handy!

@ Z rated:

I'm not referring to holding the gas pump nozzle at all. I'm talking about a safer place to store the gas cap instead of the little clip on the fuel door.

@ Comrando

Yeah, but mine falls of the clip sometimes and when it does it gains alot of speed before hitting my paint. Don't trust it anymore.
