    Low volume rear speakers

    Has anyone else with a late-model 'nox noticed that the rear speakers (on the base-model sound system) have very low volume compared to the front? I have noticed it from day one on my '22 'nox. The speakers and connections are there, all right - if I set the fader control all the way to the...

    Does the driveshaft turn when AWD is off?

    JackT, did you find an answer? I followed that thread, and still don't know for sure. SteveK's thought about videoing it with a smartphone is a good one. I would have thought "yes"... the clutch is attached to the rear diff, true, but I'll bet the trans drives the shaft all the time... the...

    Cruise Control Issue

    Hi all... Lately I've been noticing a problem with the cruise control on my near-new 'nox LT. Happens very occasionally, both with adaptive cruise ON and regular cruise only. Specifically, at highway speed, the CC will go into a surge-buck-surge-buck routine (each cycle lasts about 2-3...

    Onboard NAV and current location

    Well, I was right about one thing... it was indeed a stupid question! After a little more thought, I realized that I was asking for something near impossible - Namely, how could the system possibly navigate the last few hundred feet when the road layout near my place was unknown? I'll just...

    Onboard NAV and current location

    Hi all... Probably a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway... (My car is a '22 model LT. with onboard nav; no Onstar...) I live in a newish housing development, not included yet in the onboard nav maps, but GPS works fine. When parked in my garage, nav shows me, correctly a few years ago, out...

    BLUE cruise-control indicator?

    2022 LT with adaptive cruise control: I'd swear (may have been dreaming) the cruise-control indicator in the DIC (the little speedometer icon, with a 'car' if adaptive) turned BLUE at one time. C-c went inactive, and I don't recall what led up to this... I turned c-c off with the left-hand...

    USB Music

    Hey Rburn99... I'm the original poster on this thread (see the very first post). I agree with the others that the format has to be FAT32, but the system also seems to prefer some brands over others. I'm now using a 'SanDisk 32GB Cruzer Fit' thumb drive and all's well... FWIW.

    WANTED: TECH INFO ON THE EQUINOX AWD SYSTEM

    I thought long & hard about whether or not to get the AWD option on my new 2022 Equinox, and finally decided against it - I.e. my new car is FWD only. Today, I'm a retired old guy, meaning that if/when the winter roads are really slick, I can simply (usually) decide to stay home! That, plus I...

    2022 lT Acceleration Issue

    gpachn - By any chance did you have adaptive cruise engaged? That would do it if there was still any slow traffic ahead. -Richard

    3-month report on my 2022, and questions

    For anyone interested, my 2022 Equinox LT is exactly 3 months old, with about 3,500 miles on the clock (about average, I guess) - mostly freeway driving, some city. Reported average MPG is 29.7. I have checked the oil from time to time - down maybe 1 mm on the dipstick (i.e. very little oil...

    USB stick not recognized by 2020 Equinox

    No solution, songbird87. Only to say that my 22 'nox has had the same behavior since day one, and others have reported this too. Mine will recognize the thumb drive sometimes, other times not. I've tried 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, all with the same (sometimes) results. I THINK (maybe?) the USB-C port is...

    Auto-start-stop

    Hi all... Have any of you tried any of the "auto-stop-start eliminators" that are out there? Even though my 22 'nox has a button to TENPORARILY turn off this 'feature', I still find it really annoying (I understand that some earlier models didn't have the button at all). Even if you use the...

    USB Music

    Hi all... Although this is about my '22 'nox (with 'Infotainment Package'), it probably applies to earlier models as well... Does anyone else use a USB thumb-drive, with MP3 files on it, for music? Mine is permanently plugged in to the front USB-A port. About 3 times out of 5, when I start...

    Navigation

    dorrellkc - Your understanding is right on. (I had questions too, and thanks to other messages here, I think I understand this thing now.) In my case, my new '22 has "connected navigation" ... The key thing to note is that WITHOUT ANY OnStar subscription, nav still works. It relies on map data...

    '22 'nox USB ports

    Thanks, ricklack. Mine does not have the two at the rear, so that means they're ALL data+power. -Richard
