In small econo-boxs road noise is a huge issue. The Bolt is a LOT quieter than most cars as there is virtually zero engine/motor noise and vibration. But it still transmits tons of road/wind noise, enough so it will drown out the awesome nuances of a premium sound system. However, if you been...

Bose is very "iffy" with large rooms and systems designed for such. But for "small field" their staging works. e.g. I like their small, desktop computer systems as the DSP used works great. Of course, it's all personal taste. For cars, sure you can throw tons of money and get something a lot...

Totally agree, except the part of wired audio necessarily sounding better. If you have a current streaming device with the latest Bluetooth radio and standard. there should be no difference in audio quality between Bluetooth and wired. Both are digital, so the bit stream is either complete...

Agreed it's all a matter of taste and how our ears hear differently. There are objective measurements that can determine true audio fidelity, but that doesn't necessarily translate to "sounds great!". To be sure, there's not much acoustic engineers can do to make a small interior like the...

The point is, if audio quality is important, ditch Sirius/XM. It will sound terrible on the best sound system in the world.

The problem isn't with your Bose system. You're usage of a USB stick playing songs you recorded should prove that. The issue is entirely with Sirius/XM. When those satellite services first started, the audio quality was more than acceptable. Between mergers and attempts to jam their limited...

A bit OT, but the EV tax credit is small potatoes in the scope of tax revenue, and even that is offset by increased sales of EVs. The repubs threw that in there, along with the health care mandate, because they knew both are near and dear to Democrats. By "giving in" to items they knew would...

I find the Bolt seats to be neither too small nor uncomfortable. There are four different drivers for this car, and nobody has an issue with them either. Same goes for the interior. I like the contrast of white/dark gray. Not everybody has the same tastes. GM could make make the seats...

Most likely a dead 12v battery.

This is not accurate. You do not need an OnStar subscription for you car to be a WiFi hotspot. What you do need is a subscription to an internet provider. My Bolt is a hotspot, and I do not have an OnStar subscription. I do have my Bolt registered as a device on my AT&T plan, the same as my...

Agreed 100%. It's a given that complaints are almost always shared and posted. But for every "the seats are bad" there is at least one "they don't bother me" or "I find them to be comfortable". Thus, the seat issues, -while real and a major concern for many-, are still in the minority...

Me too with my iPhone 7. Even worse - the audio volume when playing via BT is always very low. So I crank up the volume on the radio. Suddenly, without warning, the BT disconnects and then defaults back to AM radio VERY LOUDLY. I now have the X. Hoping this issue goes away.

I had an older version of a Camry with an electronic "passive restraint system" that operated the seat belt upon entry/exit. It glided up and down along the door frame. You wanna talk about static shock? *ZAP!* It could darn near stop a heart! When exiting, I learned to make a fist and tap...

They didn't try to improve anything, nor was anything screwed up. The navigation system, such that it is, is documented on the Chevy website, Bolt manual and various other sources, including asking the dealer before you buy. The only integrated navigation system for the Bolt is via...

That sounds like a issue with your climate control, and should be checked by a service department. BTW, I have read this forum, the FB groups and several other forums. I've never heard of any issues of earlier Bolts having heat or cold inadvertently turned on. Do you have a source for this info?

I'd hardly call it a "hack". And since when is turning a knob any more difficult than pushing a button?

Swipe down to refresh has been part of iOS for as long as I can remember. Unless you are new to iPhones, it should have long ago moved away from the "unintuitive" category.

Agreed. The behavior you describe is normal. Hitting the "home" button brings you back to your home screen. From there, you will see a CarPlay icon if you want to return to the CarPlay screen.

This is not a rare problem with "smart" keys, and probably due to some sort of RF interference. This is why manufacturers have alternate ways to start the vehicle, so knowing the location of the alternate fob location is important for all Bolt owners. Alternatively, wait a few minutes and the...
