Moving to another vehicle, my loss/your gain; Custom etched, lighted windscreen, 2005 shop manuals+, and XLR Diecast model/Lt Platinum. See my posts on Ebay under majik755... or search under XLR

Does anyone know if the power to the cigarette lighter and/or the power outlet in the console turn off with the car. I was trying to decide if I can leave a phone charger plugged into either one, but the power light on the charger stayed on in both when I shut off the car. I thought it might be...

Cleaned up my XLR and rove it a while today. Went to go to dinner and the door wouldn't open, the red light on the door lock lit and stayed lit when I tried to open it, then it wouldn't open. tried again and the door opened, the the car would not start. The DIC says NO FOB DETECTED. The car then...

I've had an ongoing issue that has my GM XLR-Certified Master Technician mystified. I have an 05 XLR 30K miles that randomly displays the "Service Engine Soon" light in the DIC when I start it. This weekend it came on and I went directly to the dealership, message displaying in the dash. trouble...

I've noticed that the dash speedometer and the heads up display are not exactly the same. A few mph difference. Any idea which reading is more accurate. I'm assuming the digital readout of the heads up is the most accurate and set my cruise control and reaction to law enforcement sightings...

I know that upper and lower mesh grilles on an XLR result in the loss of cruise control, but now I'm being told it also impacts the air flow causing the computer to throw codes, usually resulting in the Service Engine Soon light randomly coming on... has anyone else seen this? My mechanic says...

Have a 2005 XLR with 30K and it's back again. Sometimes the Service Engine Soon in the DIC, or the Engine Light glowing for a day or two then disappearing. The car runs just fine (as far as I can see and feel) but keeps throwing codes. I've read through the posts here and have run out of...

I've seen many references to D3 Cadillac and Lund as XLR performance companies, are there any East Coast facilities anyone knows about? Or does D3 or Lund have someone they work with on this side of the country? I love driving my car, but that's quite a trip to enhance it.

After experiencing multiple problems with Check Engine lights and Service Engine Soon DIC codes I checked the Mass Air Flow sensor and found small debris trapped in between the mesh of the sensor. Cleaned it out and all the codes stopped. I was amazed that the debris could bypass the filters so...

:dunno: Well walked out to my car and there is no life, door won't open, trunk won't open. Luckily I left the windows open because she's garaged, so I manually opened the door and tried accessory mode, start, lights...nothing. I'm thinking/hoping battery, I bought the car preowned and not sure...

I understand those who changed out their exhaust cat-back to Corsa, D3, Lund or Magnaflow for performance, look, and sound. But has anyone just replaced the mufflers for look and sound? It would meet my budget restrictions, the economy and all... and Internet searches show a bunch of direct fit...

:D Thanks to all on the battery information. As promised my update: I now have my IPhone 3G and IPOD working through the XLR's audio and OnStar system. I installed the CoStar Tech BlueSTAR PnP GM Class II kit. Took only about 10 minutes once I figured out which pair of connectors to use from the...

I'll be installing an audio upgrade to my XLR and it suggests that the battery be disconnected prior to installation. Am I in for any surprises when I do this, such as loss of memory settings, needing to recalibrate the window close position, etc. or will the car remember these even after...

May be a stupid question... Is there any way to increase the volume of the chime, or increase the number of chimes? At times I can barely hear it, especially if the radio is on, or its a noisy area when I put the top down.

Hello to all, new owner of an 05 Silver XLR w/28K since May 1, and it hasn't stopped raining since I bought it! Always wanted one. Only problem is a sporadic message "service engine soon". Had it in for a major service and they said it was the drive by wire part of the throttle body. They...
