Stewart, if you do find a solution, please message me & same here for you. I gave up as that second FOB is just a backup and I can get into the car & still open the trunk from there.

I purchased an extra fob for my 2008 XLR and followed the programming instructions as written. I put the old fob in my house and then tried the new one. I was able to turn the car on, I can open the doors from the outside, I can make the emergency horn go off BUT it will not open the trunk...

Thanks for the input. I had it up on the rack to rotate tires and they called me over to show the pump leaking water. If a reservoir tank & caps did not have a good seal, could this possibly be the cause? I know the pump is not that much but the labor to replace it is. Happy New Year

Thanks for your input Mickey; I appreciate it and leaning that way.

2008 XLR manual calls for both of the above brands. Any thoughts about either as I think there has been great improvements in both categories since 2008. I am replacing a water pump and I know Dexcool helps lubricate the seals in the pump but I have also heard from one mechanic that it also...

Robert, I think they changed the rear in 2009 just under the bumper and it changes the air flow so you don’t experience the dirt like 2008 back. Just saying

Yes, I see your car. I just cleaned my Vogue white walls and it looks 100% better. I will try and retake my pics tomorrow. My car is garage kept only and I don’t drive it that much. Knock on wood, everything works perfectly and I hope that doesn’t change. Later, supper time.

Avery, When you say you don’t have a problem with dust, etc., do you mean it doesn’t bother you or you don’t experience any? I guess that I’m just going to have to live with it.

Avery, I have a question about your ‘09. I have an ‘08 Alpine White that is literally in perfect condition. My one complaint is that I can drive it a short distance and the back bumper shows all kinds of dirt. I noticed on pictures of the ‘09 that your tail end seems to have one extra (not sure...

Ed, I heard AutoZone sells them so I went there - $131 was what they wanted. My big concern on eBay is a fob that does not have a key to lock glove compartment, etc. Maybe all keys a Avery, I got my $13 fob on the way. The seller seems to be in the fob business for all kinds of vehicles and he...

Robert, you are correct. Thanks for your comments.

Where did you purchase the fob? I visited our local Cadillac dealer because I will have a 50K mile serviced due and I wasn’t impressed at all. I will probably get my service done by a local mechanic that I know is thorough and by the book.

I agree and was planning on doing that but i like to hear the sellers comment as well as the number on the bottom of the fob. Mine is a 2 and I read in this forum about a guy had problems programming because he had they same number fob.

I always believed that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is not true. I have done multiple searches for an XLR fob with prices all over the map. Autozone sells a new one for $131.00 but I see 2008 corvette fobs that they say will work on an XLR with prices $13 and I see them for...

Thanks
