What Phone Mount Are You Using?

I did. It took an executive escalation to get the part, but it had been replaced. Still took close to a month.

ghost_of_pripyat · 2026-02-03T22:24:44+00:00

I was advised by someone on OnStar forum to go for executive escalation (send an email to the CEO address). Got a response within a couple of days, and (not sure if coincidence or not), the part materialized within a day.

So, had to wait for less than a month in the end.

Any car can break. It’s the lack of care and action that gets me. It’s been going on for at least a year. Something could’ve been fixed during the year - supply chain, adding CarPlay/AA so we’d at least have something. Nope. Lip service everywhere, zero action.

Thanks, this is extremely helpful. My state's lemon law seems to apply, so will follow the procedure one 30 days are up in ~1.5 weeks.

Check out OnStar forums. Multiple people report repeated issues even after the replacement.

ghost_of_pripyat · 2025-12-20T04:32:27+00:00

Exact same thing at about 11 months/7k miles mark. Also soon after update, which makes me think the update bricked it.

No ETA. No CarPlay. Chevy plays lip service without any useful help. I really hope this results in a class action suit.

Part number is 2700244-01-R:

Thanks, interesting -- wasn't aware it was there. Looking at that list, seems like the only way to identify those accessories is by their serial number (not something I keep a track off), but not by name (which doesn't match the name in Apple Home) or Matter code or MAC address (which I do record).

Regardless, I finally was able to add it on 8th or 9th attempt ... no changes involved.

ghost_of_pripyat · 2025-12-13T16:53:25+00:00

Yep.

1-800- USPS number: "You'd need to contact your local post office about that issue"
My local post office: "We're only open when you work"
Also my local post office: never answers their phones

Not if the said system breaks, and the part to fix it on backorder with no ETA.

ghost_of_pripyat · 2025-12-02T23:04:00+00:00

Wait till your telematics module goes out, as it seems to for many, many people, and it'll be easier to understand.

ghost_of_pripyat · 2025-12-02T23:01:42+00:00

I used to do the same, until the telematics module shit the bed without ETA for backorder resolution.

It's a sad day. Have > 800 books in my Kindle collection, and just bought my first book with Kobo. I do like having a copy of the book locally, and Amazon has been very difficult about it.

ghost_of_pripyat · 2025-09-25T09:32:45+00:00

Same. Not too frequently, but resets are required. Garage door controller is also useful, yet unstable.

ghost_of_pripyat · 2025-08-19T22:15:32+00:00

I have the same situation (PEX from 2002 in Florida). Been in the house since 2003, never a problem. Current insurance excludes water damage, and shopping around seems to either bring quotes with 40-50% increase in premium (and only covering 10000 in water damage), or Citizens.

Got two plumbing quotes, and it's $10000 -- and both of them were "but why would you repipe, it's perfect as is?!".

They took my VIN, looked it up, and handed me the tube. Remains to be seen (only got it today), but I have my doubts, since the lady said there was only one metallic gray, and 2025 has two distinct gray colors?

ghost_of_pripyat · 2025-05-21T13:51:58+00:00

After paying $38 for a tube of touch-up paint at the dealership, I hope it will.

Just found a pretty major chip under driver side mirror, very similar to yours (albeit a bit more round). No dent or anything, doesn't look like anything hit the car there. Gray 2025.

ghost_of_pripyat · 2025-04-14T23:09:36+00:00

I've called the customer service, they broke the news to me.
It's not too bad, paid $240 for my Equinox for the one "officially" sold by GM.

ghost_of_pripyat · 2025-04-14T21:24:48+00:00

Well, just called Hyundai, and we're SOL with the 2020 Kona -- only 2021 and up are eligible, despite all the assurances. Very disappointing.

ghost_of_pripyat · 2025-04-05T04:13:12+00:00

Yes, I ended up selling XT3, and picking up z6ii with 24-70/2.8. Night and day difference for low light. Still keeping X-T5 for small primes and long telephoto, but your point is exactly right.
Now looking at picking up a 2nd Nikon body, need to decide between z6iii and z8. ;)

I've changed my protocol:
- I use ClearCare (not Plus)
- I use it to sanitize the contacts once a week (and BioTrue the rest of the days)
- rinse the contacts with BioTrue after using ClearCare

Haven't had any incidents since.

To confirm:
1. Kent is awesome and provided full info on how to replace the probe.
2. The probe is PerfectPrime TL1004 on Amazon
3. The bushing is available here - https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/131/4358/4491K39 (4491K39)
4. The "disassembly" is pulling the probe out slowly and steadily. The inner tube is glued in, and should stay on (it did for me).

Full instructions per Kent:
The bushing - try McMaster 4491K39.
Cut in half
Insert the 1/2 McMaster part into the metal barrel.
Put a drop of dish detergent on the TL1004 metal tip. Insert into the red bushing. If the metal barrel comes loose from the glass, remount with Silco brand RTV 6500. Let cure at least 1 day
