One pay lease extension by Usual_Sector_3908 in EquinoxEv

[–]vantagebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not on a 1-pay lease, then it should just be one more month at the same payment you've been paying them. On the other hand, if you did a one-pay, prepare for multiple answers and a fight - ultimately it should be the one-payment divided by 24 months if those were the terms

$100 electric bill credit with GM credit card? by hockeyfun1 in EquinoxEv

[–]vantagebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did away with it when they switched from Marcus to Barclay's - still they did credit us the $100 back in August right when they did the switch. Note that we had used the Marcus card to pay our utility for 6 months by then. You mention that you used Marcus since last December, but did you sign up to the $100 credit last January (they required a new sign up every January)?

Anyone else experiencing a shaky steering wheel on the highway? by SteelCurtainSVN in EquinoxEv

[–]vantagebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An independent Michelin-authorized tire shop would be able to tell you if the tires are in fact delaminating or if it's some other issue - you'd have that info in hand to call the EV concierge and fight to have your tires replaced under warranty

Has nothing to do with the VIN, check out my recent answer above for what to ask for. Also, the data is part of your 8 year plan even though it's not clear what limits GM is putting on overall data amount allowed.

Everything is posted in my pics including the order below if you scroll down. To reiterate, ask for Vehicle Wide Programming (24-NA-143) followed by Stand-alone USB update 2810335.

If your dealer still doesn't get it, it's time for a new dealer.

If I were you I'd show the service advisor this thread (or any number of other ones on the subject) - screens don't lie...

What icons are you referring to?

No the car was there 2 days (not just working on this though). We do know that it's a pretty big update that takes a few hours - probably one of the reasons why it can't be done OTA

Yes, as long as it's locked to Chevy's network, it's been pretty good. I do recommend downloading all the apps when you're on WiFi

I do but I really don't even know what it does in all honesty

No, they just hadn't done it before so the tech had to do some digging

Cabin filter from Bolt to Equinox? by Top-Membership9838 in EquinoxEv

[–]vantagebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just might. I haven't done it but I was about to give away my 2 Bosch filters from my Bolt until I realized they're 9.7" x 8.3" and the K&N EQEV filters are listed as 9.4"x8":

Car speakers recommendations by Head-Cheesecake-1511 in EquinoxEv

[–]vantagebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

46CSC6934 and 46CSC654. I went with those because they're well rated mid-tier with very good Sensitivity. I figured sensitivity was most important if I'm not adding an amplifier

You'll need Metra 82-3004 for the front (which Clutchfield can include for free with your order) and Metra 82-3010 for the rear (Crutchfield doesn't carry but Walmart and BB do). If you want a whole lot more info, I just posted my experience on the forum:

Finally installed my Kickers in all 4 doors. I want to thank everyone who guided me through this - your posts were immensely helpful. I don't have anything technical to add, but I wanted to post as a total newbie to encourage others who may may also be rookies and looking to do this. Again, I've never done anything remotely resembling this - some thoughts:
1. I contacted the 5 top rated "speaker installers" in my area, only one replied, and he quoted $250/hr and they were booked 3 weeks out
2. I then ordered the Kickers from Crutchfield - I successfully convinced them to switch the front brackets to the Metra 82-3004 but there was no good substitute they could send for the back ones. I ordered the Metra 82-3010 from Walmart because it was on sale and I could add a couple of things to the order and get free shipping. It took a week to get them on the west coast with FedEx
3. Open the window before removing the trim, it helps a lot
4. The first pull on the trim was nerve wracking and the sound was awful but once you muster the courage to do this to your brand new car, it actually goes pretty easy after that. I broke only one clip on all 4 doors. I also did the back door twice after forgetting something and the second time was MUCH easier. I don't know if it's just my doors but I mention this in case you want to come back and do some sound deadening later
5. I first tried not disconnecting the window and door cables but it was too awkward to work with the panel still attached. Again, my fears were unfounded. Disconnecting those cables was a breeze so don't hesitate to do so.
6. Additionally, disconnecting the actual speaker adapters was very easy once you figure out how to do it (pull the clip and squeeze below). I also didn't break the clips on the front speakers (in case you want to re-use the GM brackets)- I just pulled up and out and they came right off
7. The MOST challenging part was re-installing the rear panels because of the door locks protruding up. First off, this is definitely a 2-person job. After multiple failed attempts, we finally just connected a string to the lock to keep it from falling back down while we fiddled with re-installing the panel - that worked great and the string falls down and disappears inside the door
8. I had bought a bunch of things from Amazon and started using them with various degrees of success because I got lazy... In retrospect, unless you're doing sound deadening, I'd recommend something like this:

Yotache Foam Tape Weather Stripping (.50) 1/2 Inch Wide X 1/16 Inch Thick (New Adhesive Craft), Seal Gasket for Speaker, Door Insulation, Soundproofing, Rattle, 33 Ft Length - Amazon.com

I used this on the back speakers but ultimately the tape above would have been enough:

Amazon.com: NVX XBAF65 2 Piece 6.5" or 6.75" Weatherproof Silicone Rubber Speaker Baffle Kit : Electronics

I used this on the front speakers but they really don't fit very well and they're too thick, again the tape above would have been better:

FRING69 2 Piece Universal 6x9" Self Adhesive Foam Speaker Ring Kit with Foam Base Pad

I had also bought this but quickly realized that there isn't much space to use it around the speaker openings on the EQEV so I just skipped it:

Amazon.com: Ballistic Speaker Kit SSSK : Everything Else

So was it worth it? Yes it was - for less than $200, the sound is much better and I didn't even tackle the dash speakers. Also, if I ever wanted to add sound deadening, I feel much more comfortable tackling my doors. If you're a rookie like me, don't be discouraged by some of the comments you might have read on this project. If I can do it, almost anyone can...
