Page 2-7 at this link may have a solution to your problem. It’s for 2006 but 2007 should use the same procedure.

I take great pride in caring for my 53,000 mile 2006 XLR-V and most people would describe it as immaculate - except, that is, for a spot on the driver’s seat where the dye had completely worn off.
So I decided to remedy that by ordering Shale leather dye from Andy at the Seat Doctors...
When I got my 2006 XLR-V, I received both key fob transmitters. They were identified as fob 1 and fob 2 on the back. Fob 2 worked fine but fob 1 was unrecognized.
No problem, I thought. I’ll just replace the CR2032 button battery in fob 1. But when I replaced the battery it still didn’t work...
When I got my 2006 XLR-V with the Shale interior I noticed the driver’s side seat cushion was a very different color than the passenger’s side. It was very dirty, in fact it was almost brown. This is how I remedied that.
First I poured some gentle foaming hand soap into a bucket of warm water...
I devised an additional method to charge a dead battery in case of an absolute worst case scenario that would prevent you from opening the hood to access the battery.
I purchased a Cobra JumPack XL H2O power pack on sale from ShopHQ along with a 6 foot female lighter socket battery boost cable...
Another thing you can do is add Red Line Water Wetter. It’s around 10 dollars at the auto parts store and can help your cooling system run up to 20 degrees cooler.
You can remove your navigation DVD and use the DVD player to play CD’s. Only issue is you have to be stopped in order for the tilt button to work if you want to put in a different CD.
When I purchased my 2006 XLR-V one of the key fobs refused to work even when I installed a new battery in it. I finally had to resort to reprogramming it. There is a pocket on the left in the glovebox where you insert the fob with the buttons facing to the right. The owner’s manual has a...
When I purchased my 2006 XLR-V the previous owner included a fleece lined car cover from the California Car Cover Company (www.calcarcover.com). I’ve owned several car covers from various manufactures in the past and this is the nicest one I’ve ever seen. Mine is an indoor car cover but they...
I just got back from a trip to Panama City Beach, Florida in my 2006 XLR-V. It’s about a 400 mile trip each way and the car performed flawlessly. About half the trip is on two lane roads and I was able to go around slower traffic effortlessly. The car got a LOT of attention down at the beach...
I recently purchased off eBay a Cadillac Roadside Emergency Safety Kit for my 2006 XLR-V. It comes in a leatherette bag that has an embossed Cadillac logo. It’s a recent Cadillac kit but it’s very inexpensive for all that it includes. It is fairly large and bulky so I will probably only carry it...
I too ordered the original build sheet and reproduction window sticker from the National Corvette Museum for my 2006 XLR-V. My car has chrome wheels so I was puzzled that the window sticker did not list the chrome wheels as an option. I looked at the build sheet and it had RPO code QT8 which is...
I installed a USA-SPEC PA-15 VETTE unit in my car to connect my iPod to and it works very well. It was a relatively easy install and I ran the iPod connection to the center console. I used double-side tape to secure the control box to the passenger side roll bar. You use the XM1 band on the...
I installed a USA-SPEC PA15-VETTE unit in my car to run an iPod through so I no longer had a need for the built-in CD player. I purchased a CD slot smartphone mount called GRIP CD by Premier at Wal-Mart which works very well. It grips the sides of the phone and does not use a magnetic mount.
Just a warning - this link will take you to nakidparts.com which is a functioning website but I believe they are no longer in business. I ordered a Mild2Wild exhaust control from them and it never arrived. They never answered the contact number they provide or replied to an email I sent...
