Possibly there is a problem with your 115v power source. Maybe your 12v battery (under the hood) is going bad, that battery is known to cause “issues” when it starts going bad. Lots of other possibilities and perhaps you should consider a dealer if the above doesn’t help.

Do you have a reference? Bolt 2019 Manual page number 114: this doesn't explain anything. It does not even mention cell towers. I finally put mine in Manual to adjust out of DST and then put it back in Auto. Nothing set automatically. "Auto Set 1. Press D, then touch T. 2. Touch Settings...

That is also my understanding of how it works. It is interesting to note that your time reset immediately upon switching from manual to auto. That confirms to me that the time sync is continuous. I thought it worked that way but was considering that maybe it did not. It's starting to look...

If I read this right, your post supports my thought that OnStar service is required to make the clock update. That said, I have used the MyChevy app 'KeyPass' to unlock/lock my car. Thus, if your assertion that 'access the car via the MyChevy phone app' is correct then my clock should not be...

Point well taken. However 3 of my friends have a flip phone and refuse to use a smart phone. Those friends are all of my generation and retired. I understand why they don't use a smartphone. I'm also the one they call when they have a computer problem. Yes, I have an iPhone. And your...

I don't know anything about this but it seems odd that GM would design a system to update time only from a device that not all vehicle owners may have. I have not subscribed to OnStar and my time was not updated. I changed the hour manually but the minutes have drifted a bit. The "auto - from...

Sean: Thanks, checking this was on my list of things to do. You just confirmed my suspicion that it charges while plugged in. I don't put many miles on car each day so it's hard to notice charging unless I actually make a point to check it. Plus I don't use CarPlay very often so I'm rarely...

Of course. In my home it's no issue, there is no one else around. The pigtail would be kept in the Bolt. I've already labeled it "240v for EV" but that is no assurance to the uninformed. And thanks for clarifying the age difference on 30a receptacles. My brain was remembering the "old...

Great observation, thanks! I was planning on doing dryer plug to carry with me. Now I don't have to.

if you look at the bottom of the referenced page you will see they offer a FREE "My240" which connects to the twist-lock, converting it to 3pin.

I just completed the task of making a pigtail for 14-50 to 3 pin 120v. I thought I'd do it the 'easy way' and buy a pre-made oven plug. That was a mistake. The oven plug uses #8 wire and I failed to realize that I don't need #8 wire on the pigtail. At least not on a pigtail that is for 220v...
