That's what I always assumed. I guess the default is actually the Clock. Unfortunately, you cant listen to the essential tunes then.

Just installed the Splash Guard / Mud Flaps. VERY easy 15 minute job. Undo a 7mm nut under fender, pull the old guard out. Insert new guards. Snap in. FYI...they only add a little less than an inch of added protection, but should help. They look nice as well. 
Old vs. New - They are made out of the exact same material.
They come with new push pins. Very easy to install.
Shows the added 1" of coverage you get.

Where did you get them?

Keeping wheels clean
Being a Harley guy too and accustomed to lots of basic bling bling the Harley shops and other motorcycle shops carry a product called Renew. Its a blue liquid spray like in a Windex bottle.
Use this for wheel cleaning. Apply when metal is cold i.e. not after hard run/braking and wheels are hot. Then rinse with cold water. Works great and makes surface squeekie clean.

But from a dead stop, you start out in 2nd gear. Is this correct?

Difference between OnStar directions and Navi directions
Just to see if there was a difference, today I used the phone app with OnStar to send directions to the car. It still went turn by turn, however the normal map with the Nav system was not able to be used. There was just a square image in the display screen of when the next turn was and how far and you still got the audible. Knowing that, I prefer using the one in the Navi, it's much better illustrated. It also shows the next turn in the HUD which the OnStar one does not. I guess the one with OnStar is satisfactory if you don't have the Nav system.

Somewhere a doctor is still trying to find this sterile drape. The poor patient underwent two additional surgeries as the post surgery count didn't come out right. Darn!
