Actually I would do that, if I could get one that was completely hidden when not in use. I've had a hitch that was primarily used for bike racks on cars I used to own and it really is a good way to go. I havent seen a completely hidden one for a Camaro however.

I don't know if it says this in the manual or not, but I just noticed that the windows won't go up with the key on and door open....(like you would normally do if you go out to your car specifically to roll the windows up)......and if you leave your window cracked open a bit for ventilation, the horn does not beep at you when you lock it...it does with windows closed

I wouldn't feel confident driving with a bike on a bike rack for 550 miles.

if your car is lock and you openthe trunk to put stuff in there, make sure you have your phone on your back pocket with onstar on speed dial...

i closed the trunk leaving the keys inside the trunk... made a quick 30secs call to onstar and they open the car !!!!!

if i had left the cell phone in the trunk i would be F@#$%

My windows do go up even with the door open, maybe its a setting in the radio options? I leave my windows cracked a bit every day at work due to the heat and it always beeps when I hit the lock button twice.

Oh, and if you leave your turn signal on too long the car will beep.

Dude how does this work?

ron10 · 10-14-2010, 02:51 PM

if you are in the car,you can push the on button on the radio and it will play for 5 minutes without the key in the ignition.

No for real though plug in your iPhone with USB. A mneu should pop up on the radio set Bluetooth settings and do a bluetooth search on your iPhone. You should see gm music connect. Click it and your good to go. Great for music, but I listen to my espn radio app while I drive it's great. Got to have my newyork sports.

Oh but you need the USB connection I believe

Somewhere on the forum is a photo of Scrming's bike in the back of his Camaro with the seat down.

My over size bag fit, however my 46" driver did not. I have to take it out of the bag in order to get the clubs into the trunk. Then lay the driver in diagonally until it is in, but it does fit sideways once it is in the trunk.

im not sure if its been posted but when you get the first to fourth gear pop up instead of waiting for it to go away and not putting your car in fourth you can hit the circle button the your blinker.its like a little OK button because any other kind of thing that pops up on your digi screen can be instantly dismissed by hitting that button.works great for when 1-4 trie to tell me what to do
