Thank you for the video! I have never heard of this mode before. This is really cool. I love your videos. I have been watching them for the last 3 hours.
For anybody trying to find the answer - Car off, hazards on, foot on break, press and hold start stop button - transport mode will show up on the screen, you’ll also get some lights on the dash it’s normal. It’s the same process for any other gm vehicle as well not just for Camaros
Not sure if it’s just a pain for you in general to jump the car, but if you’re trying to jump it from the battery in the trunk you don’t have to. There’s an indirect terminal in the engine bay, you’ll see the positive one pretty easy and close to it is a hex shaped metal rod of sorts, that’s the ground or - terminal. Again not sure if it’s just a pain for you in general but if you were trying the trunk battery this is way easier
I just bought a 2018 SS 1LE and have not had any problems with the battery. I already had a black and decker trickle charger so I hooked that up today. But this transport mode even looks easier to do. I wonder if it actually stops the battery drainage problems?
I wish I knew about this 2 months ago. I had my car in the garage for about 9 days. When I got back car was dead, thankfully my battery was under warranty and the tow to the dealer.
I’m glad I’m here to help! There is some cars with parasitic drains coming from the factory as well which most dealers don’t want to honor and tell everyone to keep it on a battery tender
@@BLUPRINT1LE I forgot to ask I had my underglow Led Lights hooked up can they drain the battery even if the car is off? I was told it takes very little energy but I figured I would ask before hooking them back up.
@@BLUPRINT1LE That's good to know. So I take it the transport mode disables battery draining devices while leaving the more crucial stuff in operation.
Yes It is safe to drive the vehicle when the vehicle is in transportation mode just some of the accessories will not function with it on. Transport mode is intended for use on vehicles that are being shipped over long distances to reserve your battery or storage
Well In the Camaro the battery is in the trunk it’s not under the hood however you can jump the car underneath the hood. You can do it that way as well or get a battery tender. At the time of this video, I didn’t have a garage and discovered this. Now I have a garage and use a battery tender when gone for long periods of time
@@BLUPRINT1LE But there is a negative disconnect under the hood. I know..I own a 17 SS 6 speed. Its under the hood passenger side next to radiator. Easy access.
Yes it worked for me with no issues and the battery was fine and car started up after sitting for 3-4 weeks. The dealership say it can last for 2 months without a start but I haven’t left it that long
This is going help a ton. As a truck driver that doesn’t really drive the car as much this will come super handy. Thx bro 👌🏻
You’re welcome I’m glad I could help. It’s best to add a battery tender to it if you can as well
@@BLUPRINT1LEThanks. Do you connect the tender from the under hood remote positive and negative/ground terminals?
@ I did

He’s back!!
Would you recommend this or battery charger during winter

It’s very little energy but most setups I seen has a switch to turn them on and off but I doubt it will drain the battery that much
@@BLUPRINT1LE thanks Im a new subscriber!
Your welcome! Thanks for subscribing! If there is anything you want to know just let me know 😎
What a trip, never heard of it
Nice tip, thanks for sharing it 👍🏽
Anytime bro
Wow that’s cool Chevy gang
I had no idea there was a transport mode. I hope it doesn't disable the door locks.
As long as you have the key fob the doors will be unlock when your close to the vehicle
@@BLUPRINT1LE That's good to know. So I take it the transport mode disables battery draining devices while leaving the more crucial stuff in operation.
Correct!
Can you drive normally, will it start normally? Whats the point?
Yes It is safe to drive the vehicle when the vehicle is in transportation mode just some of the accessories will not function with it on. Transport mode is intended for use on vehicles that are being shipped over long distances to reserve your battery or storage
@@BLUPRINT1LE OK thanks. Or you can disconnect the neg. Batt. term. under the hood.
