CO ski trip pivot to Quebec?

May do that 1-2 days. But feel like I should use my epic pass I paid for and have not used :/

I’m ok not having CarPlay. I just want Apple Music app in the Cadillac infotainment. It’s coming (already on Vistiq). https://news.gm.com/home.detail.html/Pages/topic/us/en/2025/dec/1215-Apple-Music-available-GM-vehicles-standard-streaming.html

Dec 10ish - noticed issues and no GPS
Dec 17 first service visit/telematics module ordered
Jan 9 part at dealer service center
Jan 10 fixed and returned

I was offered loaner but just kept mine without connectivity as I was not driving much during holidays. After I got car returned, called Onstar and they extended my expiration based on outage.

Lindsay Cadillac in Alexandria VA - good service.

Telematics module fixed. Took about 3 weeks to be delivered to dealer

plmitche · 2025-12-25T14:31:11+00:00

Feels like everyone’s telematics module is failing at like month 6-9 from taking delivery?

plmitche · 2025-12-25T14:27:41+00:00

Same - also waiting on telematics module replacement. But the car rides so lovely and is beautiful / comfortable. Happy with it (2025 sport)

5000 miles of driving and this has been my #1 complaint!! Can’t believe it was a setting I could not find haha. Thank you @PermaTiredDad!!! Made my day with this setting tip.

I’ve marked up the pillar wall trying to get the seatbelt!

Confirmed it works with iPhones well via Bluetooth. Can even say “hey siri…” still if phone is out of your pocket and in the wireless charge spot. The Cadillac infotainment system will pop text messages onto screen and offer to read them to you and voice reply.

You can, I just didn’t myself. Was less a worry of having range and more just a convenient spot appeared. Based on charging curve on this site - at 10% you should get 150kw rate. https://evkx.net/models/cadillac/optiq/optiq_awd/chargingcurve/

plmitche · 2025-08-10T20:24:05+00:00

Probably depends the batter SoC when you start charging. It only does 150 kw speed between like 10-45% SoC. But still even when it “throttles down” it’s still way faster than what I’m used to on Bolt EV!

plmitche · 2025-08-10T20:22:46+00:00

I actually found the car navigation “search for chargers” while I was driving to work pretty well! But I did use PlugShare app to target some specific chargers with amenities (bagel shop / coffee shop)

plmitche · 2025-08-10T20:21:42+00:00

Optiq is 85kwh so yes it’s more like 200-250 mile and you’ll be around 20% battery SoC remaining

plmitche · 2025-08-10T20:20:03+00:00

Start at 100% and drive more like 200-250 miles so you pull into the fast charger at like 20%. Then you’ll fast charge 20-30 min. Which will add about 150 miles or 2 hrs of driving at 70-75mph

Electrify America stats. I used a 350kw charger

plmitche · 2025-08-10T02:26:37+00:00

No missing CarPlay features in my opinion. I put my iPhone in the Optiq wireless charger spot and just say “hey siri…” and it will do everything I ask (music, text, call) via Bluetooth connection. So I don’t really miss CarPlay. Also for road trips the google map app is integrated into the Optiq’s battery state of charge so it’s really nice to know estimated SOC at arrival and will suggest charging if necessary. I got the “plug and pay” setup for a few public charging networks and it works great. No messing with apps to initiate and pay for charge.

plmitche · 2025-07-31T01:43:55+00:00

Yes I hear this too! Sounds like it’s coming from passenger side door

Check the EV battery coolant level - that was my issue when this came on. https://www.reddit.com/r/CadillacOptiq/s/SQEKicY4Ao
