What's one thing about the 2016 you didn't know about? - Page 43

I thought I had been keeping up with this thread but I may have missed this. I got into the car and pushed the power button for the radio without turning on accessory mode. The radio came on. I guess I need to reread the manual.

The two fasteners located on either side of the hood latch (Fig. 21) on the 2016 Camaro may appear to be loose. Upon inspection, these fasteners clearly show a gap between the head of the fastener and the plastic trim panel.

Do not attempt to tighten or otherwise move these two fasteners, even though they may appear to not be fully seated. These fasteners are part of the front fascia support bracket. The preset gap (Fig. 22) is by design and each fastener has Loctite applied to the threads so the preset gap does not change.

This component arrives at the assembly plant preadjusted, so these fasteners are not adjusted when the component is installed in the car.

The two fasteners are adjustable to allow for hood to fascia alignment, but they should only be adjusted if the fascia is too high or too low in reference to the hood. When these fasteners are adjusted, the vertical clearance of the front fascia to hood gap will be changed.

One thing that I was disappointed about was that the Overdrive app was not available on Android Auto. I listen to audiobooks frequently and it's hard to hear when you just play the sound through the phone's speaker when driving due to road noise. Today I stumbled across a way to make ANY audio play through the bluetooth MyLink connection. I had the Pandora app streaming music from my phone and hit the play button on the Overdrive app. This automatically paused my music and played the audiobook through the cars speakers! I've done it with google maps many times in the past, but never really thought about trying other audio apps. It makes me very happy

FYI there are quite a few audio book apps supported by Android Auto.

yeah, but my library only supports Overdrive and it's free to listen to them that way - I go through a lot.

Just searched it, OverDrive is supported by Android Auto.

The fact there isn't a gas cap. My wife had a Ford Fusion for a company car and always liked the fact I didn't have to fool with a gas cap, and now it's on the Camaro!

You mean "it is NOT on the Camaro"!

I did not realize when your car is connected via android auto if you press the mic button on the screen and ask it a question it will wiki things for you like what is the speed of light? Pretty cool feature

Most cars you can set the ventilation controls for just the face, feet, and windshield or combined face & feet or face & windshield.

The camaro you have control to do anything you want (i.e. all on face, feet, windshield).

You can even do feet and windshield only if that's your thing.

Made me kinda laugh so I thought I would share.

I wish this was just a button though, for when you need them. Obviously not going to go into the menu and turn it off and on all the time. Would rather have a button on the dash or something.
