    How I Came To Buy My XLR

    Not sure what to say about that :dunno: ..... but I will anyway! Apparently you kept the XLR and traded the ex in a more reliable model: which could highly be possible that is NO replacement! So are you coming to Bowling Green? (I may be able to discover that if I look....)

    Show Us Your XLR

    XLR's are for Cruising! Went for a real nice drive the other day. Hubby Steve & I love to hop in one of our fun/classic cars and go somewhere for lunch..... but the somewhere is almost always a long way away. This time we left our place, avoiding the highways and meandered our way across...

    Hi folks!

    When I bought my 09 in 2011 I had a car dealer friend who regularly imported cars for clients and he told me if I found what I was looking for stateside - he could negotiate for me and import it, get it CDN certified etc for a flat fee. So I started looking, found my 09 at a Cadillac dealer in...

    Transmission fluid and filter change

    No, I am not from Germany, I am Canadian. I have been to Germany and my grandparents on my dad's side were German but sadly I do not know where they were from. Usually you will get answers from this forum for problems you face. Lots of people who know XLR's and are willing to help where...

    one more new guy

    I 'am' the wife and fortunately for me my hubby is just as car crazy as I am. Life is too short to drive boring vehicles!.... and variety is the spice of life! Our disputes begin when we decide we need to sell a few when our collection gets too big and we are both saying 'well I don't want to...

    Transmission fluid and filter change

    Sorry I can not be of help with your problem but I could not resist saying hello to another XLR lover in Germany! :wave: Do you know of any other XLR's in your area? It truly must be a challenge fixing and XLR where there are no trained/experienced (XLR) mechanics.

    Rear sway bar, should I upgrade it

    For normal everyday driving then there is no need for that. If you are really intent on making your XLR the best it can be: then yes! There is a reason they make performance parts! If you love pushing the car in the corners and twisties then you will notice a difference. Under extreme...

    XLR Key Fob

    answering my own questions.. OK, got it working. 3 times the charm! One thing NOT addressed is 'which end first' when inserting the fob. Both here and in my owners manual it says buttons to the right but it does not say which end first! Steve noticed there are three metal bands in the fob...

    XLR Key Fob

    HELP! HELP! HELP! Ok, so I officially need help. I finally got a replacement fob via GM dealership. I immediately checked to see it had a battery inserted, it did so I removed it and checked it with my multi-setting battery checking gadget: said fully charged & so I inserted it in the FOB...

    Clean and wax recommendations needed

    I would just like to add about the clay bar. If you drop it on the ground, throw it out. It WILL pick up tiny bits of grit and that grit will grind swirls and lines in your paint that will be there for ever.

    XLR Key Fob

    Thanks for that. I did the 3 x 10 minute cycles with the fob in place as it did not state to remove it. then it sat there saying Ready for fob 1 for like 10 minutes or more then just shut down. Restarted the procedure then ran here to the forum to find out what I may have missed. I had...

    XLR Key Fob

    Well, I DID have one on order. It 'appeared' to be in stock, I ordered it: I paid for it, Order was confirmed then the next day I got an update: Order Refunded. No explanation, no ETA etc. I had to call. She was mamby-pamby, hummed & hawed, blah blah...... = result - OUT OF STOCK and still...

    XLR Key Fob

    I was looking on ebay and all they had was cases. Also, my fob is different than an 07 fob.

    XLR Key Fob

    KEY FOB HELP My #1 key fob is giving me trouble. Getting a No Fob Detected warning and the car wont start. I put in a new battery and nothing changed. Fob 2 works. Also Fob 1 is damaged, the mech that releases the aux key is come loose and the key is just barely hanging in there so a new...

    Roster / head count for the 15 yr event

    It is wonderful that you are coming. We all come to this forum because of the XLR passion but after spending some time around here and attending events it becomes more about friendships - which come easy as we are all like minded people. :)
