2013 Sonics

[jennie421]

Jennie, found the supported filetypes listed for the Spark.
(What's Chevy waiting for in listing it for the Sonic? Beenlike this for months. *sigh )




Know that they don't know how to say things properly, some of these are container formats, such as .avi, and others are encoding styles for said containers such as xvid.

ps, .wmv sucks and is a waste of your time.
(Even on the limited screen I think you'll easily tell the difference)

Thank you. I will try converting it to a different format. I don't know much about sound, but I do know a good resolution screen when I see one. I will for sure skip the .wmv.

It was absolutely worth the wait!

Agreed!
There wasn't a Sonic anywhere near me with the features I wanted.
If I had ordered a '12 I'd have kicked myself senseless.
(I'd have gotten a '12 much earlier but it is as Jennie says, worth the wait)

I had the same exact situation. And since I don't buy new cars often, I decided to get it exactly how I wanted it. I will have it for awhile. I would have kicked myself for settling or not getting the mylink or turbo. I had a back up color chosen, but my heart wanted the blue, so glad I could get that. In fact, my heart wanted the exact car I bought.

 

[jennie421]

So-what MyLink features are people most interested for a quick video tutorial?

 

[jennie421]

I can only quote what the salespeople around me were saying.
They don't like the interaction, and they were young guys who are fully tech savvy.

Is it less complicated than cue? I can't tell you, I didn't play with it.

I don't know either. I was focused on one car and one car only...

 

[jennie421]

Good stuff you two.

The speakers should not be the same as 2012 as they have a different RPO Code. GM changes RPOs only when there is something different.

As for getting their act together, if one ordered a 2013 LT today it would likely be accepted, assembled and shipped before the end of the first week of October. Pre-ordering added several weeks.

Speakers sound good in my opinion. I'm no audiophile, but I'm satisfied with the entire radio including the sound system. I think it sounds good, very clear and seems to have an even sound. So when switching between devices one is not louder than the other. That is nice, not to adjust volume constantly. No backseat rider yet, so I'll report their opinion when someone rides back there.

 

[jennie421]

Got a few questions for ya,
with the 2012 people complained that the radio was too quite with the windows down, do you have that problem? Have you tried to play a .avi video yet, how does it look? Hows the call quality? Please post a video review soon!

I tried this briefly...going 40 miles per hour with the window down, I increased the volume two clicks from normal. I didn't think that was unrealistic. The radio goes quite loud if you desire. The car is so quiet itself that with the windows up the radio does not need to be overly loud.

Thats Sounds Great!!! Congrats to both of you!

My RS comes with this system and I sit and wait...... Slated for Production the week of 10/8/12 I should have it about 4 to 6 days after build since I live 7 miles from the plant and the dealer is 20 Miles from the plant.....

Waiting is the hard part...

Ordering your car may leave you in a weaker "bargaining position" but it ensures you get *exactly* what you want.
The MyLink is totally worth it, can't wait to hear about the exhaust/brakes on yours though!

So-what MyLink features are people most interested for a quick video tutorial?

I'd like to see more about the iPod interface & how well it works, album art, etc.

Also, the XM radio portion would be interesting to see.

I can't seem to find ANY "real" reviews anywhere, with the exception of 1, where they actually cover MyLink. And its in what, 3 vehicles now?

I did find a Spark review, where the guy covered MyLink (got a good review).

I was wondering why if the front panel doesn't flip there would be a gap at the bottom (??).

Thanks!

Ordered or not will not affect what I will pay!
There is zero bargining when you get Employee price! AKA Cousin Price!

The Spark and Sonic have the exact same MyLink device, so that review will be helpful.

Album Art shows up on the right side no problem, at least my DroidX did.

Literally? Cosmetics.
I don't even think it holds a card, aka 'card slot'.
The piano black bezel that lip is part of is covered by the dash in other areas.

If my wife ever gets home and I can break away from my son I might go outside and shoot a short video for you.

Video. Neat.

Card slots are on the visors.

 

[Eric Smit]

Card slot is below the radio.

The file type was M4v. I'll convert and hopefully that will work.

Not with the MyLink. There is no card holder in that instance.

 

[Bogus]

Card slot is up your butt.
