Clarification - ACCY and ACCY ON Just a quick clarification - if I go into ACCY - Ignition On (my holding the ACCY button for the full 5 seconds to get all systems on, without the engine running), the programming beeps will not happen at all (no single or double beeps). Only when the ACCY is...

That's the problem - it was in ACCY mode We (the tire dealer and I) have followed this procedure with the ACCY mode on and only get the single horn beep (when pressing both lock/unlock buttons on the remote). When it does this, there is no indication on the DIC that it is in "learn mode" and...

OK, I finally got my aftermarket rims and tires (staggered 20's) and ordered new TPMS for the setup (keeping the stock rim/tire set for investment purposes). After I got the tires installed, and on the car, I could not get the car to go into the "programming mode", with the methods posted on...

2009 exhaust tips You are correct, the 09 base had the shaped rectangular exhaust. The V's came with the dual mode, 4 round exhaust tips. The outer round tip is for the "mild" muffled exhaust. The inner round tips have a pneumatic butterfly that opens them up for a virtual throughput...

Tuning your base, and switching rear end gears I actually went through a similar adventure to get more performance on my Base 05. Although I don't have the before and after data for the changes, I would estimate an improvement (total) of about 10%. Here is what I did: - Volant CAI -...

2009 XLR-V on eBay 2009 is the best and rarest of the XLR-V's Only 238 were produced this last year of production. There is a black one on eBay - Cadillac XLR V Convertible 2 Door | eBay , this is a typical price for this year. Earlier models are available for between $35K and $50K. Keep...

Axle back systems - MBRP I too wanted to get the sounds I remembered from my sports cars of yesteryear. I looked at the Corsa and Magnaflow complete systems, but that was a lot of money, for very little horsepower, and basically a noisemaker. I ended up going with an axle back system, which...

I saw XLR's (plural) On Saturday, a few of us got together for an XLR luncheon. A total of 5 XLR's were there - 4 V's and one base. 2 reds, one silver, one black and one Dark Cherry. Don't see that very often. South Orange County, California. :blinzel:

Manuals were sold right away! I wanted to end this thread with a note to my friends out there that these manuals were picked up right away by a fellow board member - which I was happy about. He got a great deal and I got some space in my garage for the 2009 manuals, which I ordered to go with...

Aim hig - shoot low Well, I was just going by what they run on eBay - typically $325 to $350. Now that I know my competition (thanks for the link) - $225 for anyone from the board. :blinzel:

I have the complete set of factory service manuals for the 2005 XLR for sale. I recently sold my "Little Red" :(, and no longer need these manuals. They came in very handy in learning about my car, as well as paying for themselves in repairs that I could do. If you have a 2004 or 2005 XLR...

Requested pictures He was asking for pictures of my red XLR, which is now for sale after I picked up the 2009 Black Cherry V. I sent him a PM, to help him out - by looking at the photos in my "garage" for starters. Hope this helps clarify...:thumbsup

Thanks for all the responses! You had better tell Dennis 93 about those troopers. He just bought a beauty 09 XLR-V too, and is flying to Florida to drive it home back to So California this week. He will be crossing Texas on Wednesday, if the schedule holds. I'll post pictures in my "Garage"...

Got the Black Cherry after all... Was finally able to swing a deal in the end, so this baby will have a new home in Southern California. :thumbsup Now, I have the task of selling my old girlfriend - "little red". I have it posted in this "For Sale" section, for anyone that may be interested...

Well, I pulled the trigger and upgraded to a 2009 XLR-V. While I'm excited about the upgrade, now I am dreading the sale of my baby - both because I love the car and have put my heart and soul into it, but now I have to deal with all the flakes who call, e-mail, lowball and all of the things...

Texas dealer I see that 3 of them are still advertised - maybe they will take the ads down when the cash is exchanged...

Los Angeles Dealers - Service The hints you have received have been for dealers north of LA (way north, in some cases). I have had good luck with Tustin Cadillac, if you are closer to OC. I will NEVER use Allen Cadillac, even though they are closer to me. :( If you are south of LA, there...

Tint and wheels I bought my XLR over in Phoenix about 18 months ago. It came with dealer installed window tint, and 20" aftermarket wheels (Lund at the time - now Arrowhead). No issues with tint - most are ceramic based now. Slight fender rub in the rear, because of the width and offset of...

I tried - no joy After the initial lot was sold to a dealer - with the one Black Cherry remaining - I tried to get the last car. Unfortunately, I could not swing a deal on this beautiful car and don't know if it was sold in the last week. Bottom line, the dealer who did get the cars as a lot...

2004 being parted out Go to Craig's list and search Los Angeles for Cadillac XLR. There is a 2004 being parted out that was hit on the driver's side and should have some parts available for you. It has been advertised for a month or so, so I'm not sure what is still available, but it's worth...
