    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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

    My 4G hotspot is barely pulling in a cell signal. Could be a problem with the cellular modem or the antenna. I get 0.2 mbps from my hotspot while getting 100mbps from my ATT mobile phone . I suspect there may be a bad shared antenna with the radio, as reception there had suffered there too...

    Hilltop Reserve/Regen change after software update

    It's been a couple weeks now since I took the car n to the dealer for the recent updates for battery software and entertainment, and something seems to have changed. While my house is on a modest hill, I use Hilltop Reserve mode primarily due to keep the state of charge down a bit on the...

    Rats! (actually probably mice)

    I thought I was losing connection to a host of systems last week due to a computer failure. First the Pedestrian alert system, then the check system light came on, followed by a message from Onstar to service the Lithium batteries, then the Air conditioning refrigeration stopped working, and...

    Single Pedal Driving safety question

    When driving in Low, with the seatbelt engaged of course, the car will come to a full stop without the use of the brake pedal. Many of us drive this way. My question is how the car will react if we are rear ended, in low, with our foot off the brake? How will the electric drive motors...

    Chevy Bolt Cameos

    We don't seem to have this thread yet. This is a place where we can note special appearances of the Bolt in TV and movies etc. I'll add the first one then... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1981128/ Geostorm should probably not be your first pick for a great movie to see this weekend, especially...

    How To: Install upgraded telescopic sun visors

    So I bought this really great $40k car - but it had a few issues. The seats sucked - so that was the first battle. Now we have that solved (to my satisfaction - see here http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6031&start=90#p18598 and here...

    More juice for charging phone while using Android Auto

    I discovered quickly that the 1 amp USB charging port in the Bolt wasn't cutting it, particularly while running Android Auto. The battery in my phone would still run down slowly. If I didn't want to use Android Auto I could use a 12v charger in the lighter plug that gives me 2 or 3 amps, but...
