    For Sale: 2017 Bolt Premier RH Headlamp Assembly Cheap

    I'm moving and I'm selling my 2017 Premier Headlamp assembly - works great. Very Expensive to replace. The lens was cracked outside the optical area when debris was kicked up by a trick and dented the hood and it was replaced by insurance. Sealed unit, no leaks. Works perfectly. Purchase...

    Driving in L uses More Energy?

    Yes, it can. Every time you take energy in and out of the battery there is an inefficiency. To driver perfectly in Low you must perfectly reflect your intention in the pressure you put on the accelerator. The most energy efficient way to drive is to actually coast in neutral, but you cant'...

    Rebates and Credits in California

    I'm in the market for a new EV soon. I realized after buying my Bolt that I missed out on some obscure rebates etc the last time around. For example, in 2017 it was possible to join the California Farm Bureau for about $50. After you were a member for a month or two of membership you were...

    Just bought a new 2021 Bolt and the AC doesn't work

    I get that its a tricky proposition in the age of automatic climate control for Chevy, They want to be able to disable the higher electric draw of heat and AC , but do you do it with one master switch or two? It bothered me a lot more when the car was new, but after a while I tend to just...

    Just bought a new 2021 Bolt and the AC doesn't work

    With respect - its likely user error. I don't know if the controls are different in the 21, but make sure you set the desired temperature to be lower than the outside temperature, and lower than the temp inside the car - to be safe set it to the lowest setting available. Next, turn up the fan...

    HD Surround Vision

    Its been that way since 2017. The car you see in that view is like an icon, or sprite, its a generic car shown by the computer not actually seen by any camera. The other camera views like front and rear parking camera can see your actual bumper, hence it being the correct color. To some...

    Seat swap update - need an expert in airbags

    Its a little odd, the experience from one forum to another. I'm also active on the Delorean owners boards. There are only a few thousand Deloreans out there - but I'd venture there is some similarity to the the owners of both vehicles - maybe we trend a little technical - maybe more...

    Seat swap update - need an expert in airbags

    I'm happy to tinker with the car to try to fix its shortcomings. I came up with the foam trick for the seat bottoms (but didn't post the video), swapping the sunvisors for the telescopic ones, and I've experimented with electronic pest repellers until I found one that's kept the mice out of my...

    Charging at Electrify America

    I went to an EA site in San Diego yesterday, and it failed miserably, on two levels. First, the chip readers in the pay stations don't work, but when swiping the card the card does read so eventually I figured that out. Yes the charge cords are too short, barely long enough to reach the the...

    Reoccuring Rodent Damage

    This happened to my Bolt twice, in the fall of 2017 and spring of 2018. Both times they got into the front bumper area and started eating the wiring harness. The first time I took it in the service manager knew immediately that it was rodent damage by the way - that ought to tell you...

    Drop in Seat replacement

    It appears that the 2017 Bolt and the 2017-2019 Volt use the same seat base /slider track assembly #13514824. This strongly implies that the seats from a late model Volt will drop right into a Bolt. I have ridden many times in a 17 Volt and the seats are worlds better. You can head to your...

    Can anyone confirm using the 2019 seat cushion in a 2017?

    Funny, I was looking at this same approach and was about to post what I found... So, both the Bolt and the Volt 2019 use the same seat frames. They use different foam pads and different seat covers. It would appear that one could order foam pads and perhaps seat covers and significantly...

    Do you have 4G? - Need some data please

    Appreciate you testing it - that's as fast as my onstar ever gets, Ususally when its above 3 or 4 mbps, my apps (usually Waze and NPR or Pandora) have enough bandwidth. That t-mobile speed is pretty awful - hope its usually better than that. Anybody else willing to check?

    Do you have 4G? - Need some data please

    I recently had my onstar/4G unit replaced under the extended warranty, even though it works its still painfully slow. To check my connection speed I have downloaded the SpeedTest app from ookla (Apple and Android available) and I log into my wifi with the car running but parked. I run the...

    4G Hotspot poor performance/radio reception

    Glad I purchased the extended warranty - cost to replace the 4g/Wifi/Onstar module was $1161.32 . It's a pain in the butt to get the new one working, about half an hour on the phone with Onstar but we finally got it working.They had to provision it etc.

    4G Hotspot poor performance/radio reception

    The 4G/wifi hotspot is part of the Onstar Module. The Dealer has confirmed its bad and has ordered a replacement. I am told its a module behind the radio assembly under the dash... Will report once its replaced. Tom

    4G Hotspot poor performance/radio reception

    It's just gone from bad to dead. The unit still broadcasts its SSID, but I can no longer logon. It appears to disconnect immediately and automatically. I can still check vehicle status via the onstar app. I'll presume that onstar and the 4G/Wifi use the same data service. I'll ask. Maybe...
