Hey
Need to replace the batteries in both OEM Key FOBS ('06 X). How is this done without wrecking the case edges? ? Where do you start etc. ..........?
Bill
Hey
I have the Co-Star Bluestar unit installed in my X. Just plugs into where the On-Star unit plugs in behind on the passenger side. Works great. Pair it with my cell phone. Use the steering wheel controls or the mirror controls, voice commands and the phone works great, In-coming and...
Hey
Maybe Walmart ?? I got a battery for my '06 X-V on October 30 of '18 at Walmart. Ever-start 5 year warranty (3 year free replacement, 2 year pro-rate) 119.00 bucks out the door.

Works great. No issues. Understand right now it's only a year and a half...
Hey
Yep, seen that before. My take? Not impressed at all. Looks like more of a melding of styling so prevalent today, but that may be what automotive design has become. Don't see anything stunning about it. Minus the badging, is it a Cadillac or a Toyota or .......
My take

Hey,
Am well aware that some of the "parts" are available. The haunting issues below are "issues" primarily based on the incurred costs and secondarily that finding a competent person to work them through is tough.
These are the issues which haunt me. Am not discounting the headlight...
Hey
Just 2 . One right side, one left . They stand up and down. A bit more awkward to deal with the one on the driver's side. The others referenced, if you look closely, have little hydraulic lines running to them. The ones you are after are gas shocks and have no lines running to them.

Hey
I did, until about two months go. I think the On-Star was pretty slick, but pricey. Started off at $25 a month and within five months it was pushing 40 bucks. Replaced it with a Comstar Bluestar unit. It pairs via Bluetooth to my cell. Works just as well, except I don't get the...
Hey
'06 and later, the XM satellite antenna is located in the exterior mirror driver's side. That box on the windshield is part of the On-Star communications technology.
Bill
Hey
Thanks !!!!! I stopped on page 3-9 and should have forwarded to page 3-28 in the '06 X manual.
