This tickled me. As we were entering California, all traffic has to go through the "Inspection Station" on I-40. As I approached the place to stop, with my window open, the inspector from the next lane over yelled to the inspector in my lane, "That's a Corvette with class!" :thumbsup I had...

I have never been able to get the ash tray out. I figured somebody had super-glued it in to stop some perceived rattle. I will try the "remove rubber insert and slide ash tray back" trick, and see if that fixes it. BTW, is that some kind of USB connector in your lighter socket? Tim

Smokin' deal on your "Blue Steel". :thumbsup Welcome to the site. :wave: Tim

Bovey, MN Want to feel a little warmer? Check out the HIGH temp for today, in my home town. http://www.weather.com/weather/today/l/USMN0086:1:US :lol: Tim

Sure sounds to me like the makin's of a country-western song... Kinda like, "I'm so miserable without you, it's almost like havin' you here." Or (my personal favorite), "Get your tongue out of my mouth; I'm kissin' you goodbye." :chuckle Tim

Hey, Jeff, welcome to the site, and congrat's on your new (to you) ride! Could you be a little more specific as to your location? The US is a big country, don't ya know. :cool: The members here have regional get-togethers, and you sure would enjoy meeting other owners, I'll bet. I know I...

Only One??? John, is there only one Cadillac dealer in Rochester? How far to the next closest one? While I have you "on the line", is there still a music store there in Rochester owned by the Iannacone (sp?) family? We used to play in a band together, about a century or so ago, it seems to...

I guess the operative phrase is, "... by the Odyssey site". The original note hit me as a blanket (flat) assertion the the Odyssey was "an obvious, settled-science" choice, which was what I questioned. (I have problems with a lot of things where the term "settled science" is used.) Even so...

I stand corrected then, but I was under the impression that the '07s had the new fob. :banghead: I believe the rest of the note was OK. Hope so, anyway. Tim

John, John, tsk, tsk,... If my last name were "Marcus", I'd hock the kids, mortgage the ranch and crawl through a mile of broken glass to get Uncle Neiman's gorgeous car. (At least, I'd tell everybody we were related). Man, there's a priority issue in your thinking, methinks. Just save...

Drat!!! Dang! I was just in Bass Pro Shops, up in Colorado Springs. I sure didn't see that model. Must have been too late... :( :chuckle Tim

The '07 has the new style of fob, and the key's inside of it. There's a raised bar about a centimeter long and a millimeter wide on the fob that you push to release a retention latch. The aluminum-colored part of the fob (where the keyring would attach) comes out; the key's part of it. It's...

Leif, in addition to the issue with the number of pins, I don't believe your connector would fit into it. That "L" shape protuberance from the mushed light, and it's corresponding female version on the connector, don't look to me like they'll "mate" with the receptacle on your "new" taillight...

I don't know where the recommendation for the Odyssey for the '06 XLR originated [cite your source, as they say in Wikipedia], but I certainly have to challenge the flat assertion that it's the clear choice. Phrede's experience with the D35 Optima Yellowtop, and mine, both attest to the fact...

Phrede, I see several OBDII tools available for the iPhone. Specifically, which product are you using? What feature(s) led you to select that particular one, and what Bluetooth bridge do you recommend? :dunno: Tim

I was just in Red Nowland Cadillac, in Colorado Springs, having a minor recall done on our SRX. In the showroom is a very nice '07 Light Platinum base XLR for sale. It seems that this show car quality unit was just traded in by a couple from Aurora, CO, on a black "V". It has the...

Thanks, Pat. Stay warm!!! Tim

Happy ending to the CEL saga. :wave: Tim

Maybe it was just an abundance of caution, on my part, Phrede. I tend to be a "belt & suspenders" kind of guy. It's a symptom of the engineering background, I guess. I wanted to avoid a Saturday afternoon being dedicated to trying to remember radio stations, seat positions, option settings...

Me Too!!! Same here. Ten minute job to swap it on my '06, including hooking up the "Memory Saver" to the OBD port for use during the replacement. :thumbsup Tim
