    WopOnTour actually clarified the reason for this and my local dealer confirmed. In the pre-MyLink 2012 model, the Bluetooth support is built into the OnStar module. The change in the 2012 MyLink...

    On iOS, Siri can read your messages to you. If you have the iPhone connected across Bluetooth then it will connect the audio up to the in-car phone integration while interacting with Siri.

    This situation would infuriate me. I believe it's first-come, first-serve. If a BEV driver asked me or left a nice note requesting the situation, I would personally feel the right thing to do would...

    I suspect these are people that think they can capitalize on Tesla's delivery times. Unfortunately for them, Tesla is delivering cars as early as 30 days from order and pretty much no more than 60...

    I've had nothing but positive responses to my Volt. Most of the people who have ever questioned me about it, either in public or in private, have been very open to the concept but never really...

    Access to Logs on the Radio

    Does anyone if there is a procedure for exporting the logs on the radio to an external storage device? If so, does anyone know that procedure? Or do I need a special tool to access those logs?

    I've had this happen many times on both my 4S and 5. Power cycling the car doesn't appear to resolve the problem nor does resetting the phone settings or car stereo settings. I have perceived more...

    Thanks for the post. I am seriously considering taking this step, as I inadvertently missed the lack of the navigation option when I placed my early 2012 Volt order. Some questions:

    I actually think someone was just being an asshole. I had that happen when we were in temporary apartment housing after a relocation. I paid extra for a space near a plug and used my 120v EVSE to...

    Compared to a Prius, it can be fair to say the Volt gets poor gas mileage. Of course, most of us aren't using much if any gas so I guess it's also true that the Volt gets poor sugar plum fairy juice...

    Thanks. I knew about this feature and use it often when I get home with a low or no charge. In fact, you don't even need to wait until you turn off the car and can use the feature even while still...

    This is the kind of thing that would separate a sales person with initiative versus the rest. Or even GM's Marketing department.

    Someone should make contact with this couple through that show,...

    Charging Based on Departure Time

    I might have discovered a bug in the charging programming for "Delayed - Rate and Departure Time". I've programmed the car with the On Peak / Off Peak settings (10pm to 7am Off Peak) and set my...

    Strange. I don't feel like I paid an extra price for the car. Having had other cars in the same price range, the Volt is very competitive when it comes to quality and features. The fuel efficiency is...

    I usually explain the car as "it's a hybrid like a Prius, but it operates only on electricity until the battery runs low, then the engine keeps the battery charged. I've only used 40 gallons of gas...
