    Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns

    I have a 2007 Z06 and originally disabled onstar by pulling all of the connectors except the high speed can bus connector -- removing that one bifurcates the bus and prevents the car from starting! Of course these days the gen 7.0 onstar module wouldn't be able to talk to any current cellular...

    Hands-free decklid opener vs carbon fiber diffuser

    Does anybody understand why adding the CF2 (CFV) option deletes the hands-free decklid (TL3)? Given the crest projection light, I assume there needs to be a hole in the diffuser; is it as simple as they didn't want to have a second part numbers for the (expensive) carbon fiber version of the...

    Norcal factory order with little or no ADM?

    The guy I talked two is the fleet dude, he had to ask another department and their position is "very limited availability" blah-blah-blah-sales-talk, etc. I suspect if I could find a different local dealer with a lower (or no) ADM they would match it. I currently have a '14 2nd gen CTS-V and I...

    Norcal factory order with little or no ADM?

    It's starting to sound like carbon fiber options are becoming available, on a small scale at least; what dealers should I be talking to in northern California about ordering a CT5 BW with a manual trans? The referral I got from a Chevy salesman I know wants $15K over...

    Sueded microfiber steering wheel

    Totally agree. I currently have a 2nd gen, it's a 2014 and was a lease turn-in I got in 2017. It had the suede option and when I picked it up I was amazed at how nice the steering wheel and shifter were. I later figured out that they must have been replaced as part of the "certified cadillac"...

    Thoughts on carbon fiber pricing and constraints

    Now that we've seen the bump in pricing for the exterior (and interior) carbon fiber options I can't help wondering if the reason the exterior options were on constraint was because the cost of carbon fiber had increased to the point where the supplier was no longer making enough money producing...

    Blackwing Constraints Tracker

    I've read a bunch of pages in this thread and I still don't understand how constraints work; is it currently impossible to place an order that includes the carbon fiber 1 and 2 packages? Or would such an order get canceled due to constraints on carbon fiber packages? If I really, really want...
