    Aftermarket warranty

    Most of these extended warranties sold by used car dealers, including Carmax, are underwritten by third party affiliates. Mine is covered by the representative handling the state of Florida. I haven't had to engage the warranty policy to date (knock, knock)... the early work was done during...

    Aftermarket warranty

    I bought my '06 V from Carmax a year ago... had it transferred from a Maryland dealership to Birmingham, Alabama where I picked it up. The original warranty had expired while on the Maryland lot in January, 2011, and it was a one-owner vehicle with 23,333 miles. I knew I wanted to acquire a...

    Underhood Lamp

    My hood and trunk lamps turn off automatically after 20 minutes or so of continuous hood or trunk ajar. I presume this is a lamp/battery saving function of one of the on-board computer circuits.

    Tires

    I'm running OEM Pirelli's on my '06 V... 2nd set, I believe (new when I acquired the vehicle a year ago). They're still available... for a price : )

    Daily Chat

    Had hoped to take the V out for a one year of ownership spin today, but find myself down with a darn cold! Just shy of 10k miles in this first year...just can't seem to stay out of her for long ; ). Nothing quite like these cars!

    Lockpick, Pal version 2, Parrot?

    I have a Lockpick and use it sparingly. My unit (and it took two exchanges to get where I am) doesn't perform as per the advertising. It sounds great when you fire it up, but the display & functioning leaves A LOT to be desired. I actually have to start the playlist/tune on my iPod/iPhone and...

    GismoQ... I see that your V is listed as an '06. When did you add the '09 chrome trim to the sides? Where did you source the pieces from and how are they attached? Thanks!

    New Guy with a Key Fob

    Congratulations on your new ride! Once on location, if you find yourself evolving into a perpetual state of bliss... peeping into the garage regularly just to "pinch yourself"... realizing you're unable to wipe that silly grin from your face when behind the wheel... don't worry, it's quite...

    Paint wear mark on roof

    Had my tech check for this while having the differential fluid changed this morning. He said the questionable spot on my top was a from a rock strike and that the top was in proper adjustment. However, I think I'll acquire some of the felt pads and cover the potential issue points for the sake...

    Help! LED Light Questions

    Hmmm, that's interesting... but not totally surprising. I've changed out all the other interior bulbs, but have practically decided that LEDs in the vanity mirror may be too bright for our tired eyes :cool:.

    Differential Noise

    Question for those who may have had this service bulletin performed on their vehicles: Saw this thread and knew I wanted to have it done as I have experienced the associated noises when in reverse and slow turning. I contacted my service advisor and learned that there had been an update to "B"...

    Hot Console Fix! HELP!

    Check out the "Subframe Support" thread on the technical forum. This may provide some ideas for heat reduction in the tunnel/console area.

    XLR-V for Dummies, help

    I noticed that mine didn't always run through the "startup procedure" when cranking the car. My local XLR tech said that was normal and depending on how recently the vehicle had been shut down. It is simply a routine to determine if the process is operating in good order. I think it's...

    Important! headlamps

    Perhaps a bit off thread topic, but in the general vicinity... has anyone found a good, bright LED replacement for the DRL/TS amber incandescent? I've ungraded and changed everything else up front, and actually like the brightness/hue of the OEM bulbs, but just looking to complete the conversion...

    Just happened to notice you're from FWB. My son lives over there. We've been here in Pensacola for a dozen years or so. Nothing quite like the gulf coast! XLR, Vette, or both?

    Help! Badging

    I just recently received mine and installed it. I sourced it from Car Motorsports out of the Atlanta area (carmotorsports.com). My primary contact was A.J. They can acquire a new GM under hood liner and affix the embroidery to it, or provide the embroidery as a kit for you to affix to your...

    Actually... neither of those. The tail light assemblies on the sides are the ones in question.
