I bought Trifecta tuning for my Sonic last year, but I've decided to go back to stock. I've been looking through my old BNR emails and all I've found about it is a reference saying that my factory tuning may be attached, which it wasn't. How can I find a copy of the stock tuning that I can put...

I bought my Sonic new in July 2013, and having lived in a major metro area until just last week, I didn't drive it much. I'm driving it more now that I've moved and I'm sitting at about 7500 miles right now. Well I noticed today that my AC doesn't work all that well. It's been in the mid 80s to...

I have a 2013 black LT hatchback that I barely drive. I bought it in July 2013 and it has a bit over 5000 miles on it now. I love the car, but living in Chicago I just don't get much use out of it. That wouldn't matter to me except that I'm anticipating a possible budgeting issue that will come...

I just got a call from a number in North Carolina (I live in and purchased my Sonic in Chicago). It was someone claiming to be calling from the "auto processing department", talking about a mechanical breakdown coverage provided by Chevy. It sounded fishy as hell, but they did know my model year...

I'm going to be taking a bit of a road trip with some friends this summer and as you all know, Sonic cargo space is tight. So I was thinking about getting a cargo rack for my roof, but I've never used or installed one before, and I don't really know anything about them. Can you put one on a...

So after months of putting it off, I finally just ordered it along with the cable (got it on Bad News Racing). It was the only tune available from them for a 1.8 so I went ahead with it, but I can't tell if it's the budget tune or the full tune. I'm thinking full since it shows a retail price of...

My trial subscription is up in a couple months and I was thinking about picking up a regular subscription. I don't want the turn by turn directions so the sub would cost me about $20/month, which seems a little expensive but I do like the features it comes with. Mostly there are two things I...

So I've been seriously considering getting a trifecta tune for my sonic (the 'Order Programming' thing at wot-tuning.com for $300 plus $200 for the cable is the right thing, right?) Anyway, I see all these great things about the tune, but I wanted to find out if there are any reasons to NOT get...

I use my phone's bluetooth connection with Mylink to make and receive calls while on the road, but a lot of times the person on the other end has trouble hearing me. Does it use the phone's mic, or does the Sonic have an onboard mic somewhere? And if the latter, is there a way to bump up the...

Saw this one pull into a spot near Webster & Lincoln Park West, loved the color and it was just about 100m from my spot.

I've been thinking about getting a back-up camera for my sonic (I live in Chicago and nearly all parking is parallel parking, which I suck at). I was reading online that the Camero's Mylink interfaces with it's camera so you can use the screen for a camera monitor. Can the Sonic's Mylink do the...

So I'm 25 years old and last week I bought my very first car - a black 2013 Sonic LT hatchback, and I couldn't be happier (well I wanted red, but they didn't have one on the lot and black was a close second choice). I rented a 2012 model for two weeks before, and that was enough to sell me on...
