    Help! Has anyone ever bypassed the Bose amp in their aftermarket radio installs?

    Check the Bose amp fuse, there are 2 ... one of them in the fuse block on the floorboard next to the amp and the other which I believe is a 30 amp fuse is under the hood in the fuse block next to the battery. I went with an aftermarket because I fried the factory cd changer in an attempt to...

    Hello to all the XLR owners out there in our limited world, this may be helpful if someone experiences the same issue that I just had. This morning I pulled Fred (paint color infra red) out of the garage and the drivers inside door switch would not work. I tried the passenger side from the...

    2006 cadillac xlr driver seat switch bezel cashmere / shale

    Yes, that is it. I was able to repair the lower mount tabs but that is the path I will go if the repair fails. Thank you for that. Now the only thing left is the mirror, I will get to that when time permits. Have a Great Day.

    vanity mirror lid , were to buy or part number

    You Rexter must be a patient man, a perfect trait for tedious repairs like that. It looks as though I might be attempting the same as one of the mirror lid hinges broke on the passenger side. Uhhhggg. Trivial but tedious. How did your repair hold up?

    Help! Factory Stereo no sound

    Yes, for the most part, the volume and scan up - down work as they should but the voice command and GAP buttons do not function with this unit which is fine by me as the Alpine has "google assistant" so I can just speak it without holding a button. So far so good.

    Help! Factory Stereo no sound

    I did have to fabricate 2 small plates to go on either side of the radio, I made them from some semi rigid plastic material and covered them with a black carbon fiber vinyl, kind of a prototype, I may redo them when I can set some time for that little project.

    I now own an XLR - what do I do?

    Firstly, I am sorry that your your father passed, not knowing him but while he owned a rare car like a Cadillac XLR, I'm sure he would want you to keep and enjoy it in his memory. Your top issue "could" possibly be the lack of hydraulic fluid due to a leak in one of the lines (I think there are...

    Driver program memory

    This may come a little late, I just came across this when I was having an issue, perhaps this could help someone else. The owners manual does have a wealth of information although a bit redundant. It appears perhaps this setting is "off" in the DIC (driver information center) per the owners...

    Help! Factory Stereo no sound

    Thank you for taking the time with a resolution, I did however end up replacing with an Alpine unit with install kit from Crutchfield, the Bose amp is fine and works with it as one of the plugs in the kit does just that by audio jumping those pins. I used the original face plate to keep my...

    Help! Factory Stereo no sound

    Hello all, I hope someone out there can help me out with a situation that I unfortunately brought on myself. I just purchased a very clean 2006 XLR with factory stereo that has the bose amp. The stereo worked fine with exception of a "cd error". I took the unit out, separated and disassembled...

    Hello all, my name is Jim

    Fred's back on the road with a new radiator. Love it. If anyone notices they have a split tank on their radiator, don't buy the first one you see on Rock Auto, Autozone Advanced Auto etc. Get one per the correct part number 10346017, Factory GM Delco, you will need the radiator with the Power...

    Hello all, my name is Jim

    Just bought a 2006 Cadillac XLR - base model. Beautiful car, Infrared exterior, Tan interior, well taken care of. We live in the Tampa Florida area, the car was in Miami. Got it home and found out it needs a radiator. I'm sure most of you in here know that the $100.00 rock auto aftermarket...
