My 09 CTS and Enclave were the same as well. My 06 CTS was the same with the starter, but not the blinker.

U mean the sunroof? Mines closes while driving.....closed it just the other day on the highway cause it was too loud, doing about 65mph.

Not sure if this is common knowledge, in the manual, or if it was posted already, but if the doors are locked you can open the doors by pulling the handle twice instead of pushing the "unlock" button.

Funny thing is she doesn't complain about the temps if she the operator.............must have something to do with the Gen5 being such a hot car to drive.

Kind of a dumb one (still a smart feature though), but if your keys are in the ignition while the driver door open, and you push down the door lock pole thingie, give it a second or two and the pole will pop back up and unlock the door. I'm guessing it's to prevent locking your keys in the car; saves a call to OnStar :P. Not gonna lie, but this tripped me out the first time I saw it happen.

Also, you can disable that, if you want, through the radio.

The personal settings for bass/mid/treble varies depending on source. AM, FM, XM, CD's and ipod can all have different settings.

How do you get a software update done on your car? Do you have to take it to the dealership?

I thought it was cool when I found that out. One of My friends was with me and insisted on playing with it for 2 minutes. Had to finally hit him upside the head to get him to stop.

Canadian customers can only get blue halo abl's around their speedometer and tachometer. If you order the inferno orange interior, you'll get orange abl's on the doors... but blue around the speedo and tach.

Probably because this saves GM from stocking another cluster.

Just how many Canadian Camaros are sold with the inferno orange interior anyways?
