Today is a bright, sunshiny day, the birds are singing... so on and so forth... Followed your instructions and I'm happy to report my trunk/decklid issue resolved. Took all of the ten minutes as the "anti-corrosion" felt washers proved useless and I cleaned the posts and clamps, applied...

Thanks for this information, I'll give it a go.

Interesting, thanks for the input.

Did a search of the many aftermarket head unit installs but didn't find what I'm looking for. Specifically, has anyone installed a forward-facing camera, how did you route the wiring and how did you get the wiring into the car thru the firewall?

My trunk lid has stopped working by dash, fob or pressure pad. All of these methods will start the pump and as I don't want to burn that out to add to my problem, I've found that a second press of any button/pad will stop the pump. The deck lid/trunk will open using the key and this also...

Having learned new information on the CD player, I've decided not to sell this one. Price drop on head unit.

Starting at page 2-54 in the owner's manual lays out the procedures for Vehicle Personalization, seat/mirrors and steering wheel. It will direct you to page 3-73 where the auto recall, auto exit (really like this one) ... (several other items) and passive locking are explained.

Head unit (radio) from '05, in working order. $300. for head unit plus shipping. SOLD

I had bought a #2 fob with great expectations. For the life of me, it will not pair to my car. Even tried w/Tech II. I did learn my fob is #3 paired to my car. The GM/S (top) number is different from my working fob. If these numbers are a match for you, you're in need of a second or third...

What you say is correct mickeytee, the filament is ABS and the process you've said is called tempering. PETG is not suitable for this application. To print in ABS my setup will require some minor upgrades of which I'm in the process of doing. The attached photo is our prototype in ABS.

Update Feb. 29th, 2024, Seat Speaker Retaining Ring. Received some drawings for the part and attempted to do a drawing myself. Sent my drawing to the CAD guy and as he tried to model it, it wasn't working. The op, "TheOldMan" has sent his ring straight to my CAD guy for clarification. I...

Reviving this thread. I need both for driver's seat. I have a friend that can write the gcode for 3D printing, and I have a printer. Working with the op and will post up our progress. Show of hands, anybody else in need?

@CY1957-XLR I really like what you've done with the grille. Those '09 rims look right at home. We're in CA. As you can see my car never had the front plate mount/bracket...so I never put one on it. Back on the topic of radios...Unless we get a week or so of nice warm weather, my install is...

@CY1957-XLR Well done! I can't even imagine a front plate on these cars.

@willyway I have not seen anything. Would powder coating be an option?
