    Backup Guidelines Do Not Always Come On

    Yes, I've noticed that on my Bolt LT ever since I got it end of August last year. The delay of the lines showing seems random and inconsistent in how much delay I see each time. I've never considered it a problem per se, just "one of those things".

    What do they want to know?

    I guess people around me are more ignorant. They often ask "does it have enough power to go on the highway?". It's fun to observe their reaction when we get to the highway access ramp and I "demonstrate" - especially if I've put it in Sport mode. GM really does need to advertise more to the...

    Is there any way to have the fan on and heating and cooling off?

    I got my Bolt LT end of August last year and have used the heating / air system many times with the fan on and the Heat / AC & recirculating off - just as you have yours set - and it's always delivered air at outside temp. Just as an example, the other day I was driving with temp set to 74 while...

    Bolt roof blocking garage door opener signal.

    I have noticed similar signal issues with all my vehicles, not just my Bolt. And not just my garage door opener but also the gates in our community (opened by another button on the opener). It seems the opener signal is "weaker" or interfered with if it's close to the metal car roof like when...

    Oil leak from front axle

    Yesterday I watched the YouTube videos Weber University created about removing and disassembling the Bolt battery - well done and very interesting. It gave me a new appreciation for how thoroughly GM has thought out and designed the system - and of course, how well LG has designed the batter...

    Infotainment Software 14.1.0 to 14.4.2

    Here's the link to the download: https://mega.nz/#!mgZyVZLY!tGpiKZFNU1OCcacgC3clCfP0jz2Z4q873JnRd0YpxWg I did a search on "chevy bolt infotainment update to 14.4.2". Then picked the link titled "Chevy Bolt 14.4.2 Radio Update SPS download - YouTube" with the link...

    Infotainment Software 14.1.0 to 14.4.2

    UPDATE: I proceeded to download Infotainment 14.4.2 and installed it as indicated in and earlier reply. Everything went smoothly and I now have V14.4.2, with the full screen used. Android Auto could be improved to make the display better but at least now the full screen is used for maps, etc.

    Infotainment Software 14.1.0 to 14.4.2

    I have V14.1.0 also and wanted the 14.4.2 update because I understand it displays Maps (from Android Auto) to full screen. Same as you, my dealer did not find the update listed for my Bolt. So I contacted GM directly and was told the 14.4.2 update is to fix problems with a version earlier than...

    Costs of installing Level 2 charger in St. Paul, MN

    We now live in Nashville but used to live in the Twin Cities so I know how cold it can get. When I got my Bolt in August, I first tried using the charge cord that came with the car but not satisfied with the slow charge rate at 110. Also noticed how warm (even hot) the cord got when set to 12...

    headlight adjustment

    I had the same issue. Thankfully, adjustment is really easy. There is a white plastic Philips head adjustment screw under the hood behind each headlight. They're just behind the metal frame piece that runs diagonal, behind where that diagonal frame pieces are connected to the sides / fenders...

    Splash guards for Bolt

    I would like to get small good quality splash guards for my Bolt. when roads are wet a lot of road splash gets thrown up on the back window and hatch. The Bolt body curves inward quite a bit - especially behind the back tires - and so the outside half of the tire is exposed to throwing up road...

    120 volt charge cord included?

    When I received my Bolt in August I also obtained an adapter to use the included charge cord at 240V. I found that the cord got quite warm. IT was because at 240V it's "predetermined" to charge at 12 amps. That stock cord is a 16 gauge cord and that's really too small to charge at 12 amps...

    Sun glare off chrome strip

    Right away after picking up my new Bolt LT I noticed how severely the sun reflected off the chrome strip just below the center dash vents (and above the Infotainment screen). During mid-day the reflection was so bad - even dangerous - I decided I needed to cover it somehow. I noticed that it is...

    Great Bolt review by owner

    I found this review to be a nice, concise and very positive review of the Bolt. He is quite positive of he Bolt and his car history gives him quite few examples to compare to. I enjoyed reading it and think it's right on target...

    Impressions from a new Bolt owner

    Response was close to my question but not quite on target specifically. I can connect fine to the Bolt's Wifi when I'm using my phone by itself. But it's when I am using Android Auto (with phone connected with cable) that I can't connect to the car's Wifi.

    Impressions from a new Bolt owner

    Yes, Android Auto and Navigation work fine - no problems. Also, playing music from my phone through Android Auto or just Bluetooth also works. It seems like it's just the KeyPass setup that doesn't work - timing out during the "pairing" stage. And that brings up another question I have: Before...

    Impressions from a new Bolt owner

    Thanks winterescape. I did see your post about what you did to get your phone connected in KeyPass. I tried your technique with my phone but while it finds the car ok (like before) it still times out during the pairing stage, so it's a little different. Maybe later - if I feel like being on the...

    Impressions from a new Bolt owner

    I’ve owned my Chevy Bolt LT now for about a week and a half So I thought I’d write a recap of my impressions. I am retired and got the Bolt as a second family car. I live near Nashville, TN so the Bolt wasn’t available until last month. I have had an interest in electric power for years (my...

    16 amp level 2 charging

    Thanks to both of you for replying. That answers my question. Globcanvas, I had read somewhere that the OEM cord would indeed charge at 240V but I thought a small modification needed to be made inside. If that's not true but that it would work with just an adapter, do you know what kind of an...
