Weird, I know I get it in the cabin and the license plate light, it only seems to happen when I apply the brakes.

I learned that onstar works great, the hard way.

Onstar will shut off your radio when they contact you,

when they hang up, radio resumes at the regular level.

try not to have CHP next to your car when it turns back on, especially when its cranked lol.

Umm airbags are super expensive for the camaro, if they blow, its totaled.

Don't know if this has been said, but just noticed the HUD displays your speed in reverse.

Re-read his thread. You want what he has, he wants what you have. It is a setting under config. Dont have the car in front of me right now, but it is there. Wife likes to mess with it, and she does not even drive it, so I have to go and reset a lot. It is not an obvious option; I do remember that, that's why wife always screws it up.

The remote start will activate from 9 floors up in an office building to the Camaro parked about 100 feet from the building, direct line of sight, key to side of temple and leaning against the window glass. Nice to have on cold winter days.
