Thanks for the comment! I replaced the gasket on mine and had good results from it for a few years before I traded the truck towards a different one. Even if the gasket doesn't hold up for an extended period, it's inexpensive compared to the entire light housing and could be replaced a few times if need be to keep the water out. I originally did this repair because I was seeing water making its way into the cab (staining on the headliner), but quickly learned that it was also allowing water into the brake light assembly as well and THAT was messing with the trailer brake sensors in the truck (I was getting an alert in the dash very frequently) and this was never mentioned anywhere that I had seen as a way to address that specific error.

Thanks for the comment! You have a few things working in your favor... 1) lower parasitic draw than the Gen6 cars, 2) lead acid battery vs. AGM, and 3) you already know the benefits of keeping a battery in a healthy state with a maintainer!

Hi, and thanks for the question! My understanding is that the Gen6 cars do NOT have this feature available, but the Gen5 cars did come with it. I am not aware of any mention of the "TravelLink" or similar marketing terms from SiriusXM being used anywhere with the Gen6 cars. I can tell you that, as someone that HAD that feature in a previous vehicle (granted, it was something like 15 years ago), I found it pretty useless. The data was always delayed significantly to where things like traffic updates were useless. I have an app called MyRadar that will project to the Android Auto screen (I can see my entire state with radar info, for example) and I use Google Maps / Waze for navigation which do a good job of keeping up with changing traffic conditions. The one piece I don't have any app for (because I don't have the luxury of being overly picky) is something that helps me track gas prices. Waze can do it, but like the traffic data from SiriusXM... the info is often out of date. I stick with Costco for the Camaro (I have a couple of them that are close enough to make it easy to go there to fill up) and a local station for the truck (non-premium, same price as Costco).

Thanks for getting back to me I know the 2016 and 2018 have the mylink and you can get Sirius xm travel like ? But maybe on the 2019 to 2024 when they changed the radio to infotainment system 3 they must not have that anymore?

Thanks for the great question! In hindsight, I probably should have included a little more info about it. Here's the gist - the convertible top is controlled by a rocker switch that is "press-and-hold" for functionality. This modules removes the "and-hold" part of that so you only need a momentary press of the rocker to operate the top into the fully opened or fully closed position. From the factory, you can also use the key fob to put the top down - this module makes that actually work (and much more simply) AND it adds the ability to also put the top UP with the fob as well as adding the ability to operate the top using the lock button on the door handle of the car.

@@hotcamaro9145 Wow! I need that for my 2024! Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback and glad it was helpful.

Thanks for the comment! A big part of why I even post any content at all is because I find manufacturer's info and web sites to generally come up short with a lot of that detail.

Thanks for the question, and the patience waiting for my response - I apparently missed this! Anyhow... I'm still ever so slightly shy of 10k. Generally, no issues with any of it. I have a Novistretch mask on the front that prevented a chunk of tire that got kicked up in front of me (and hit the splitter) from doing any cosmetic damage to it (although it did cause a bit of damage to the mask).

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the comment... I was not originally looking for Summit White, and when I did decide that was the color I was going for, I hadn't thought about the Adrenaline Red interior. When I signed the paperwork, I told the dealer to -not- install the fender hashmark but then later reached out and told them to go ahead. I'm really glad that I ended up with what I have!

Thanks for the comment! Generally, the gasket seemed to have held up well. I didn't notice any additional staining in the cab of the truck over the ~three years after the replacement. I've traded the truck off at this point, so I won't be able to tell exactly how long it lasted! Don't forget to subscribe!

Thanks for the comment and the question! You can add Navigation if you have radio code IOS. Check the door jamb and the trunk for any stickers that list out the various build codes on your car (although these were disappearing by 2020). If you can't find the sticker, you can try pulling up your window sticker here: cws.gm.com/vs-cws/vehshop/v2/vehicle/windowsticker?vin= (add your VIN at the very end, no spaces). Look for the 8" Radio in the Interior section. Next, you need to open the armrest on the console - is the plug in there two USB connections only, or does it also have a SD-CARD slot? If you have the right radio and the SD-CARD slot, you can buy a kit for $500 online that comes with the card (map database) and the OBD-II connector to program your car to turn the navigation on.

Thanks for the question! I had to use Translate, so I may have the question a little wrong. I believe you mentioned you have a 2017, charged the battery, and found it was losing charging somewhat quickly. You had it looked at and they found a 6A current draw that was draining the battery. You asked if something was maybe bad or if something might need to be reset. If I have that right... That's a fairly high current draw for when the car is off. My car will slowly lose charge over time if I don't have it on a tender / maintainer, but it takes a few months to drop low enough to where it sees the battery as basically dead. I would suggest starting by looking for any modifications you've done or items you've added (LED light swaps, dash cam, etc.). Try completely unplugging all of those to see if the draw stops then re-connect them one at a time until you find the culprit. If the car is completely stock, then something has gone bad and is causing issues. You'll need the help of a dealer or a quality auto electrical shop to track it down unless you can find a chewed / burned wiring harness somewhere (rodent damage is another common issue with electrical problems). Hope that helps!

Thanks for the comment and question... As far as the finish goes, zero issues or complaints. However, the car is always garaged and has less than 10k miles on it still. Also, one of my side skirts was damaged by something being kicked up off of the road... there's a small piece missing and a crack as well. I'm contemplating replacing them as a result, and would likely remove the splitter as well and paint everything to match in a gloss black / clear. In other words, it seems to be holding up fine with limited sun exposure. Given the chance to do it again, I would be more patient and paint them.

@@hotcamaro9145 Thanks for the input. I'm just going with the splitter alone. Skipping side skirts. Just turned 60 and getting in/out is hard enough..lol

@@CraigMR-SS Understood. :) I was making a more generalized comment in that sound either or both again, I would paint.

Thanks for the question - Yes, the splitter itself has all of the necessary holes for the screws and the rivets. If I remember correctly, you would get everything installed and THEN drill into the bottom of the bumper using the hole in the splitter as a guide/template so that you would be able to add the rivet.

Thanks for the comment! With the combination of the rock guards and the side skirts, the lower edge of my car has remained not only reasonably clean from driving but also chip free - even after the town where I used to live dumped tons of stone chips on a newly paved road next to my house, forcing me to drive through that garbage whenever I wanted to go anywhere!

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I had considered similar ways to maintain pressure for an extended period but was pleasantly surprised that heating the tape and applying pressure for a short time "manually" did the trick. Three years later, still no screws being used, and they're as solid as the day I put them on in this video!

Yeah, it took a while to get them prepped as I did. But, three years and they haven't moved with just the tape. I'm glad I spent the time to prepare them this way!

How did you make out? Hopefully you found a minor issue that was easy to resolve!

@@hotcamaro9145 Ended up being a small pee pebbles like the landscaping ones, it was stuck in between my rotor and the back plate. what i did is took a longer screwdriver and stuck it through and pushed in the back plate and there drops the pebble. i couldn't believe something that small could cause all that..

Thanks for the comment and the extra tips! I will say one additional thing about the adhesive - I initially set it in place "somewhat" misaligned and had to adjust it, and it was NOT easy to do! :)

Thanks for the reply and thoughts on this! I could see where that could definitely help, although my install went ok without doing it. Don't forget to like and subscribe!

Thanks for the comment / question! I believe the radios were changed in 2019 and this was the first year that offered the interface and options that I show in this video. I believe the radio in your 2017 uses software more similar to what's in my 2015 Silverado - all updates have to be done by the dealer. For the phone / USB item - I don't have any guesses on that since it's a different radio.

Thanks for the comment! Adhesion promoter is not at all required here. Physical abrasion with the alcohol wipe down completely replaces the need for adhesion promoter and can be done with very inexpensive items already in the home. Further adhesion promoters can be caustic, can cause damage when used incorrectly, and serve no other purpose (isopropyl alcohol has a lot of household uses). My side skirts have been installed for three years with zero issue, and there are no screws in place either.

@@hotcamaro9145 well good to hear as far as EOS products they are crap pretty much

Thanks for the comment, but not sure I'm following. The hood does absolutely nothing to keep out rodents - they are far more likely to enter from below.

Thanks for the question! I believe that the software changed either in 2019 or 2020 model year (this video is a 2020), which could explain the differences. As far as wireless AA / Car Play goes, that wasn't offered native until 2021. There are add-on adapters ("dongles") that can enable that function for you. You would want to be sure you find the correct one for your needs (Android Auto and Apple Car Play use different adapters, so you need the correct one based on the phone type). Hope that helps!

@@hotcamaro9145 Thank you so much , Have a nice day 🤍

Thanks for the question! While this is generally my view on it as well, there are a lot of folks that want the built-in navigation because it shows turn-by-turn in the Head-Up Display, or simply because it's always available in the car without having to connect your phone. With wired connectivity required from 2020 back, it is not terribly convenient to always rely on the phone.

Thanks for the question! The car has a feature called Retained Accessory Power that keeps certain things operational (radio, windows, convertible top, etc.) for up to ten minutes after you turn the car off. If you open the driver's door during this time, everything shuts down immediately. If your radio stays on even after opening the driver's door, that's a signal to you that there's a software update waiting for you to install! Don't forget to like and subscribe!

Thanks so much for getting back to me! I’m going to give the ( opening the driver’s door) a test this evening 🙏🏻😉

@@Heavens_On_Heels Let us know what you find!

@@hotcamaro9145 it WORKED!!! 😉

@@Heavens_On_Heels Are you saying that opening the driver's door worked to get the radio to turn off or that you found and installed an update?

Thanks for the question! I ordered them direct from the company off of their website. Don't forget to like and subscribe!

@Hot Camaro what company did you arder it from. I have been ordering my stuff from American muscle. But I would like to know these are coming from. I hope it's not from China because China and I are not friends at all.

Thanks for the comment. While I understand where you're coming from, part of the reason for titling as I did is because it's something people want to do but aren't always given the facts on why they can't. I went a step further and offered a possible solution in light of the fact that it isn't possible to set up something that doesn't exist.

There are two major aspects of matching paint. The color is mostly straight-forward while getting the overall look correct with the right level of metal flake, matte, etc. is much more subtle. In some ways, white is easier to match, but it won't look right at all if the way it reflects light is wrong. I am a very critical person with repairs, and I'm honestly very happy with how this has turned out. A year later, and I literally don't even see the repaired area when washing the car...

Thanks... I would love to do some smoked lens markers, but there are just too many complaints about aftermarket lights burning out prematurely. In addition, the electrical gremlins on this car are just too numerous to want to risk adding to them with different lights.

@@hotcamaro9145 I've had the diodes dynamics on my 2016, 2019 and my 2020 Camaro they have been great with no issues. I also had them on my 2017 mustang as well. I had a led section get dim, not burned out. They sent a replacement immediately, with a return label for the bad one. 3 yr warranty. They are well worth it. Just wanted to share my experience.

Thanks for the comments and questions! The splitter would need to be removed in order to remove the bumper. If the bumper needing replacing or repainting (in which case the splitter might need that as well), the adhesive would need to be removed between the two as well and reinstalled later.

Really glad to know that you found the info useful / helpful, and I appreciate the positive comments - Thank You. Look forward to doing more content that you may also find helpful!

Great question! Full disclosure... I think I just hit 8k miles on the car, so probably not really a "long term review." Still... ZERO issues and no indications that anything has weakened.

I appreciate the question - thanks! I am not aware of a commercially available solution. As much as I would personally love to have it, I'm not holding out any hope that it will ever turn up. If you happen to find one some day, let us know!

Thanks for the comment! What year and trim level?

​@@hotcamaro9145 I dont know what you mean by trim level it's a 2017 Camaro LT with a V4 but it's turbocharged.

In order for Apple Car Play / Android Auto to be available, you would need to have the 8" radio (standard radio is the 7"). Also, the software interface on the 2019 and up will look like mine (2020 model year) while the prior ones aren't the same. Maybe those are the reasons yours looks different?

@@hotcamaro9145 I'm bringing it in to the dealership I'm already prepared to $$$$$$$$$$$

@@woshadoo6614 Keep us posted!

Thanks for the question! Zero issues here after about two years being installed. All road use, plenty highway driving, but only about 7000 miles logged as of now (if that helps). The screws "do all the work" for everything under the car, so the area to be wary of is the very front edge and specifically where it is adhered to the bottom of the front bumper. If you properly clean that surface and prep it, the tape should be able to hold more than well enough for regular road use.

Thanks for the comment! I was fortunate to be able to install the rear ones without pulling the wheels, but it was definitely tight getting the tools in there.

Thanks for the question! Yes, the treasure is visible but the dark gray color against the black of the splitter combined with it being set back slightly from the edge keep it from looking "obvious". I'll follow up here soon for you with a pic.

@@hotcamaro9145 thanks for the reply. So it is fine then ! I thought I had done something wrong haha. I was thinking to put a black pinstripe in that little gap so that it doesn’t show at all

Check out the front license plate video I did... There are some shots that show the installed splitter in a way that be helpful for you... kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKuxfGWvg7aJm8k

Thank you for the comment and the very kind words. The fender hash mark is a dealer installed option that was part of how the car was ordered.

Thanks for the comment! My car has barely enough room to do this without pulling the wheels. The ZL1 wheels are just a little larger, so I would expect the only route would be removing them to install these rock guards. Come back and let us know how it goes and don't forget to like and subscribe!

Thanks for the comment! There's a lot of variables to stuff like this. The method I used was derived very closely from the specific directions that 3M offers. Their directions are generally to clean (remove items that can reduce adhesion), prime (create a smoother surface like you mention), "abrasion" (which is basically the same as fine sanding like I did - again, to create a smoother surface), and then install the tape to a cleaned (again) surface. So, while I do use sandpaper, I'm using a fine grit and light pressure to actually accomplish what you're describing - a reasonably smooth overall surface. Don't forget to like and subscribe!
