2023 CT4-V Blackwing no serial number on steering wheel

[bl4ck_wng]

you can source the v button button and PTM toggle switch from a place like GMpartsdirect.com

I would imagine the core would not include those

I just realized that since I always put my 5BW away for the winter, I will never use the heated steering wheel or seats.
I will probably never use the window defrosters either !

What is this "defroster" thingy you speak of? Sounds like ice or something we don't get here in southern AZ.

Arizona doesn't know what "humidity" is either !

The V Mode button is on the right side of the steering wheel next to the volume buttons. You can see it in the pictures of the wheel. The PTM is below the cup holders.

Update - I talked to a Cadillac dealer in Phoenix, and they had some Cadillacs ship with the wrong steering wheels. We pulled up my invoice printout, compared it to some BWs they had in stock, and determined I should have the performance steering wheel with carbon fiber and SN. I called Cadillac and spoke with them. They created a case number and will contact the dealership and ship a new steering wheel.

Keep us updated please. I want to know if it's easy for them to put a SN plate after the fact.

This is listed as, Steering Wheel, performance leather wrapped, thick rim w/v mode button. BUT later reads Steering Wheel, heated, Automatic. Maybe the heated steering wheel changed the serial number option.

This is a steering wheel of a CT4-V and not a Blackwing.

I'm obviously wrong, at some point I thought that only the manual transmission cars had the number plate on the steering wheel. Dang, you just can't trust what you read/hear/see on the Internet!

 

[MeanCTSV]

I read somewhere that only the cars with Carbon Fiber Option 1 have the numbered wheel. The first two numbers indicate auto or manual and last 3 of vin....if I'm not mistaken....

You don't have to get CF1 to get the upgraded steering wheel. On the VIN plate, the first number indicates CT4 or CT5, the second number is the transmission.

I read somewhere the only way to get the correct wheel is by offering your selling dealer the ball of an albino goat.

Hey wait a minute - my car is also missing the number plate, I guess I just didn't get that option

I'd be more worried about it being crooked than the missing plate..

I tried to get a fixed position steering wheel but got denied

You have the holes for the plate. Is yours pre owned? Maybe the previous owner took it. If you bought new, it appears to be gone. I'd go complain to your dealer

Good call! I did buy it used missing the plate and have it on order w/ the dealer.

 

[FLYARMY]

I thought that the numbered plate meant thats how much the dealer actually paid for the car. What you actually paid was pure profit for the dealership ! LOL !

 

[MeanCTSV]

The first 2 numbers 41/46(CT4) indicate auto-41, man-46 and last 3 prod number.

 

[MeanCTSV]

Nah, that's only on the Z06's... First two are length and girth of shaft to be buried in rear. The second 3 are he IPM insertions per minute.....
