I use the lower front wheel arms. I'm not sure if that's what they are called? Appear to be aluminum. They have a large oblong hole where I put my hooks. I use safety cables instead of chains. Just in case you're not aware, when dolly towing the Bolt, you must disconnect the 12V battery while in...

There are a whole bunch of 12V electric blankets on the market for use in autos, RV's and trucks. I doubt your idea will work but at least this option eliminates the need for a 110v inverter.

Although I guess I understand your issue, a month is a long time to leave any car. The Bolt certainly has the possibility of a work around for your unique situation. The Bolt has the ability to be remote started from an app on your phone. On a long trip as you describe, you could start your car...

JeffN, Thanks for posting! I just returned from my nearby Electrify America station where I have made numerous attempts to charge with no luck. I really didn't need to charge but was anxious to see if this would fix my issue. Indeed it did. Worked like a charm. The build date on my Bolt EV is...

JeffN, Thanks for posting! I was one that was having trouble. I just returned from my nearby Electrify America station where I have made numerous attempts to charge with no luck. I really didn't need to charge but was anxious to see if this would fix my issue. Indeed it did. Worked like a...

JeffN, Thanks for the information. I watched the video. I will return to the Electrify America station in my area when I get a chance and give this procedure a try. I'll report my experience. Incidentally, the cables (short length) and connectors at the Electrify America stations look exactly...

A word of warning about Electrify America Stations. Please don't let your expectations overflow! I live in Memphis Tennessee. Electrify America just went live with their station here, which is the only DCFC station which supports SAE/CCS in a metro area of a million plus residents. The two...

With a new realization that I don't know as much as I think I do (I mean I'm pretty smart, but obviously I can be wrong), I'm gonna wade back into the deep water. Keypass and Mychevy app work slightly differently. Yes they both work through the MyChevy app so that to the user they appear to be...

After reviewing the conversation I did a test of my own and to my astonishment I have concluded that I am WRONG! OMG! (Sorry i had to have a dramatic moment). Convinced that I was still right I browsed every page of the owner's manual and failed to find out where the clock setting signal is...

If you look at the point you just made, That's why GM has a manual setting for the clock. It could also be argued that "it seems odd that GM would design a system to update the clock through onstar since that's an option that not everyone will subscribe to." So basically we agree on that point...

Are you sure about that? I was under the impression that the infotainment time was kept updated through Apple car play or Android auto by cell phone data received when you connect your smartphone to the car using a cable?

This is true of all GM cars with remote start (or remote pre-conditioning if you prefer that term). GM cars with an internal combustion engine will start the engine and pre-condition the cabin heat or A/C and the lights will illuminate. As for our all-electric Bolt EV the car powers on and...

There is already a whole thread on this subject. Complete with remedies and modifications. Check it out! https://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6512&hilit=sunvisors#p20378

Your assumption is correct, However this only occurred the first night I tried it. Since then it shows a grayish color at night which is easier on the eyes. I can only quess that the issue is related to the Bolt's quirky infotainment system which does lots of weird stuff on a regular but...

Tried it again last night and the bright white background had changed to a grayish/white screen, so I guess that's ok. At least it's better. As for features I like it's ability to report hazards or Police activity. That's really nice. Also on the way to run errands this morning it showed where...
