[sgc]

Are any of the CAB members using the OnStar mobile phone app to control their Volts?

If so, please describe that experience.
If not, why?

I am using the iPhone app to control the Volt. Sometimes I check the status of the battery to see how far it is charged when Im at work in my office. A number of times I have done a remote start to precondition the cabin.

The app works very well, though it is a little slow to load the vehicle's data, take about 1-1/2 minutes. GM says this is because of all the security layers.

This image is me holding my iPhone and connected to the car. You have to name your car. Mine is, of course, called the GM-Volt.

Very cool Lyle! but the numbers just don't seem to add up?
your phone says you are charging from a 240v source (I assume your Voltec EVSE) but the time it will take to charge is 13 hours?

Thanks for the input,
