Should I try to purchase control modules for use later and are there differences within the same year? No problems right now but want to be prepared.
Not a bad idea, I toyed with the idea after my last episode.

We went ahead and got backups after reading of your episode! Glad you shared it.
Wasn't happy with my episode either but I am glad it happened the day I purchased the car. Now I am going to try to be prepared for an incident. BTW I went to the garage to get into the car last weekend and doors wouldn't open. I finally got into it with the 2nd FOB but it wouldn't start with the 1st one, said no FOB available. Replaced the battery in the first FOB and everything works great now. Worrisome though because Mark read that someone went to a gas station, left FOB in car and battery died. He couldn't get into the car and had to call his wife to bring the 2nd FOB. Now I think I will carry a spare battery for the FOB in my purse. It appears to happen instantaneously so having a spare battery may prevent an issue.

I put my purse in the trunk with the fob in it & hit the button to close it before realizing what I had done. The trunk would not open with the fob inside the trunk; all batteries (fob & car) were fine. I had to call Mike to bring fob 2 so I could open the trunk.I experimented with our '08 Caddy (the XLR is an '06) and the trunk WOULD open with the fob inside the trunk.
Might be interesting to see what an '09 does!
