this is very interesting to hear. Still a little confused about how the rack operates, but it sounds like the magnets act as a valve are redirect or restrict fluid flow within the rack depending on speed. Is that correct? Do the XLR's use a special power steering fluid, or the same generic fluid...
can you shed some more light on this: I'll send you the link from the corvetteforum which described the changes to the racks over the years.
Read Post #2. Very informative.

So I’ve been reading about the corvettes and the updated steering try received in 2009 to a variable rack and pinion.
Apparently the XLR did not get the VES steering like the corvettes did, but I’m not certain.
Keeping on the same topic, in 2008 GM tightened up their tolerances for the rack...
I have three of these cars and my 2009 has the hands free button on the steering wheel, so I assumed it would have hands free Bluetooth calling capabilities.
I can’t however figure out how to set it up. It’s not registering the ‘bluetooth’ and ‘pair’ command, so I’m stumped.
Can anyone chime...
Simple question: did all XLR's come with a rear defrost window? Do any of your guys have a XLR without rear glass defrost?
I ask because GM sometimes didn't have defrost is southern US hot states. If so, i'd be wanting to source one for myself.

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to formalize my membership here. I'm a member with the other Cadillac/XLR forums, but for whatever reason i didn't join this one.
Currently own a 2004, 2005, and 2009 XLR. One of them is going to become LS powered shortly...once i finish my other projects first.
