If GM goes into bankruptcy, maybe legally GM can drop warranties, but it makes more sense that GM or the Govt will back all warranties. Any current owners of GM cars that are under warranty now, are not going to be happy with their warrenty canceled, so most of them are likely to opt for another brand, when they buy their next car. Hopefully GM and/or the govt will not be dumb enough to drop warranties, unless maybe if GM were to fold entirely.

The Tennessean said specifically that it would not apply before March 30. There was then a question in the article--what if you purchased a 2009 before that. The article said no tax deduction. I hope that changes. I assume it is correct because our paper is produced by Gannett, one of the large media publication businesses in the U.S.

Digital Clock in Nav System
by gman1

The '09 CTS with Nav System has two clocks, the standard analog clock built into dashboard and a digital clock which is set automatically by the GPS (subject to adjustments you can make by pressing the "Config" hard key and touching the time display on the Config screen at the upper right, which then displays the clock setting screen).
Problem: The digital time does NOT display in any screen on the Nav System Radio display (not in Audio, not in Nav, etc.) except in the Config screen, a screen not in use except for configuration purposes.
Is there a way to have the digital time display on the Audio and Nav screens (I tried every setting and can't get it to display). If not, then why have a digital time setting?
On my '06 STS V-8 Nav Radio System the similar digital time function displayed on all screens in the upper right, a spot reserved for the outside temperature on the CTS Nav System Radio display.
Thanks,
Gman

My 2009 CTS now has 10,300 on the odometer, and it has been trouble free. I just drove from Indy to Philly and back. I got 30.1 mpg on the trip east and 30.5 on the return trip. I always set the cruise control for the speed limit + 5 (actually I sometimes set it at + 6 or 7).

I'm not sure, but the GPS time might help the car determine whether the map should display in day or night mode.
Hope this makes sense - that's how my Acura does it. I don't have a CTS. Just monitoring this board b/c I'm thinking of getting one.

Just sending a reply to myself because I think my prior post is wrong. After posting about using the time for day/night mode, I realized that this cannot be right - day/night mode is determined by whether the headlights are on, not on the time.
Sorry.

Most GM cars have a little light sensor (Bubble) on the dashboard, near the windshield. It controls the headlights/tailights (if on automatic mode) and NAV system (Day/Night). I have this on my CTS and Trailblazer.
