    Wireless CarPlay adapter

    Yes, I got one and it works. I also upgraded the wireless charging module in my 2017 so that my phone charges while it is connected wirelessly. There's a FB post about this and supposedly the CarLinkit dongle works too, but I wouldn't know which one since there's at least 2 that I can see...

    Bluetooth Delay for Google Maps

    There is a lag in the Bluetooth on the Bolt. Assuming this is hardware and not software, the only way to fix it would be if Map Apps like Waze and Google would implement a tone, followed by a 1/2 sec to 1 sec delay before speaking.

    New owner...Looking for some hitch info ..

    There’s a bunch of info about hitches. Some of us who bought the Curt hitch ended up replacing it with the Drawtite hitch.

    Bike racks

    It’s the bottom end design of the rear suspension and the short wheelbase. I doubt it can be improved in any meaningful way. But in the bright side it’s a simpler design so it should be reliable. On the other hand adjustments for alignment may be limited.

    Self-sealing tires vs spare tire options

    Wait... someone shot your tire and you were worried that your garage got sprayed with goo?

    Nice Moots. Midge bars?

    Why bother with the Curt hitch and stabilizing straps when you can get the Drawtite hitch? That hitch is designed differently and does not need the use of straps.

    Self-sealing tires vs spare tire options

    95-05 S10, Envoy, Bravada, Jimmy. Just compare it to the picutre. As long as it has the dimple sticking out it should fit. If you want to go fancy, the Hummer jack looks like it fits too.

    Self-sealing tires vs spare tire options

    Inside the little folding bag that I store inside the backpack. There are also 2 folding wheel chucks. They're part of the Sonic/Cruze spare tire kit, along with the foam that doesn't fit my S10 Jack.

    Surveys?

    I never even received my sales survey, let alone my service survey.

    Self-sealing tires vs spare tire options

    I didn't read the sticker right. The GVWR is 4514. Thought it was curb weight.

    Self-sealing tires vs spare tire options

    My Leaf's tires lasted less than 19k miles. One tire sprung a leak too close to the edge and can't be repaired (a large chuck came off). I got apprehensive about not having a spare, so I pieced a kit together to be stored under the false cargo floor. The donut is from a Chevy Cruze. 5x105...

    Bike racks

    Final video: This is my final configuration. Draw-Tite hitch with a Saris Freedom Superclamp 2 hitch bike rack. IMO, this rack is the quickest/easiest to use in terms of loading and unloading bikes. Two arms hold down the bike wheels and no straps. https://youtu.be/IYZTMfdv7m0

    Here's a small clip of my Thule T2 bouncing around on the Curt hitch. https://youtu.be/IENoMQXRf1U This or any number of bumps like this likely caused this: Untitled by tk_1971, on Flickr I was able to bend it back by pulling up on the rack. Untitled by tk_1971, on Flickr

    Bike racks

    I prefer to remove my racks when not in use. Some people leave them on. They will fool the backup sensors giving you the red warning all the time. That's why as convenient as the T2 is for biking, lugging a bulky 60 lbs rack from/to the garage makes it too inconvenient to actually use.
