5 days should not make a battery go dead. My cars sit for weeks on end at the airport and always start right up
. Long story short, car started but went into Anti-Theft mode and gauges would not respond. About an hour later, gauges were normal but Onstar and my aftermarket (Pioneer) would not work. Knowing these two are electronically intergrated along with Anti-Theft unit may have to be reset by computer at the dealer. I go to MILTON REUBEN Chevrolet in Augusta Georgia where I bought the car new.
If you know all this, why would you go to the dealer?One hour later, the Service Manager and the Technician told me that the radio wiring was the fault and had to be put back to factory specs.  Like I a supposed to believe this!!!! So I took a shot in the dark and asked this ASI trained techician did he disconnect the positive battery for 10 minuetes the reconnect it?
see above. If you knew this, why not try it first? He comes back and tells me everything is fixed, Then these bastards charge me $110.00. you have an aftermarket system in your car and you expect free or cheap service? Be glad they even looked at it, some would tell you to go back to the installer
Where ever this idiot got his training he should get his money back. If i'm gonna get screwed at least kiss me first! |
My thoughts in red.
The factory radio in my 2010 is a pretty nice unit, and with all the integration I don't see any advantage to changing it. This tale of woe reinforces that opinion.
