I want to share with you all my experiences with this site in the short time I have been here. I bought my 09 XLR less than a year ago. I'm a "car guy" but knew little to nothing about this model. I still know little, but not nothing, thanks to you other members. I have been able to get...

At the back of the car, on the trunk lid, there is what appears to be a "trunk release" pad. A black rubber pad. I think this is supposed to release the trunk lid. This does not work on my 2009 XLR. If this is supposed to release the lid, does anyone know the part number I need to get a new...

I'm considering putting a custom dash mat on my 09 XLR. 2 reasons: Protection of the dash material, and reduce glare from the dash onto the windshield. I installed a "dash cam" to my car and the glare impacts the videos. Has anyone put a custom "dash mat" on their XLR? If so, what brand did...

I bought an extra key-fob for my 2009 XLR and I'm having trouble programming it to my car. I do own and have fobs 1 and 2 that work. The new fob is a new GM product, number 25926473, which I understand to be fob #1. I followed the instructions documented in many places (see below) and get to...

Another "newbie" question: Has anyone updated their entertainment/navigation system to something that added integration of Apple Carplay or the Android equivalent? If so, would you share what you did and if you lost any base functionality of the car (like head-ups display) in doing so...

Sorry for so many posts but the car is new to me and appreciate any help. The exterior “button” used to unlock the driver door is having problems. It takes multiple presses, even need to use unlock on the fob multiple times to finally get it to release the door. Passenger side is fine. I’ll...

The XLR I just bought will need new tires. I do want to stay with run-flats. Normally I would buy Mich. Pilot Sport but they don't seem to offer run flats in our standard size. At Discount Tire, they show my choices to basically be Bridgestone or Continental. What are the...

New member from Prescott, AZ: Just bought a 2009 XLR Platinum, 20,000 miles. I'm looking forward to being an active participant to this forum. Hal
