Thanks a million GETWIRED for that very detailed description of the install. It should definitely come in handy for anyone attempting this on their own. I took a leap last week and ordered a Bi-Xenon kit from a company called VVME in China. I have read all posts against Chinese kits, but I...

Definitely put on the 22s. Those Escalade rims are gorgeous! I think the factory 20s look great but these rims are much nicer. You will barely notice a difference in ride quality. Post some pics when you're done!!

I have had my cell phone charger plugged into the center console since I bought the Y (two months) and it has not affected the battery yet. I am not sure about leaving an XM unit plugged in though.

Tracon, Thanks for the tips! I have tried to move equipment around the trailer to pull some weight off the front but it still doesn't help. The trailer has a nose cone with cabinets and a generator and that really seems to weigh it down. Shifting the weight further back makes the trailer sway...

Travis, I was was referring to the H13 bulb. I have not been able to find an H13 HID bi-xenon bulb that will keep the DRLs. That's awesome that yours do. What do the DRLs look like? Is it a less bright version of the 5300 degree output? All other HID H13 bulbs I have found did not have...

I have been looking into an upgrade for this as well and so far the Pioneer Avic-d3 seems to be a great alternative. From what I have found out so far, you do have to get a special harness that allows you to retain your On Star. The XM option would have to be added as well. The base head unit is...

I have not purchased an HID upgrade for my Yukon but plan to do so as soon as I can fix the towing sag issue (don't want to blind any drivers). The bi-xenon kits I have researched use a magnetic switch in them to move the bulb filament to give the effect of a high beam. Funny thing is that with...

Sign me up!! If this remote comes out as an option to add it onto current systems, I will be first in line!! I added a system like this to my ex-Escalade and I can't tell you how often I used the screen on the key fob. I could always tell what was going on with the car from up to 2000 feet away...

Guys I really appreciate your feedback so far. I still have not decided how to handle this issue since I think it was pretty unfair. To make matters worse, the morning after I filled out the paperwork for the Yukon, (which was on another dealers lot) they told me the original truck I bought had...

Too funny! I love the blinker tap feature to. It's hard to believe it's the small things in life that give us such joy. I had a Mercedes that had that feature and I always hoped I would get it on a future car. Touche!! Oh and the remote start is also pretty cool.

I have to admit the Acadia really peaked my interest and I seriously considered it. I ended up with the Yukon because of my towing needs. So far I know I made the right decision and as soon as I can stop the sagging rear end when I tow it will be excellent! The Lamda cars are an excellent step...

The Blue Ant device attaches to your visor with a magnetic clip and has a pop out microphone on one side of it. When you pop the mic out, it automatically turns on the device and it searches for a Bluetooth signal. Once it syncs you will see it on your phone and from that point on any incoming...

That's a great price from the dealer. I looked here in Florida for a month and could not find any at dealerships. They all had 17s but no 20s. Through the parts department, they wanted over $3000.:crazy: Average price on Ebay is $1200-$1500 but you really don't know what you'll get until it's at...

Hey Rney! Definitely go with the silver. I just got some Ruff Racing 22s that came in a few different color options and I ended up getting painted silver with a polished lip. I totally agree with not wanting the chrome look and it took a very long time to find some rims that were available in...

I have been trying to figure out a way to integrate Bluetooth as well but the problem is that the Onstar microphone set up stinks. The quality of sound on the people you call will be affected and you would get better results with a good quality Bluetooth Speaker unit. I am extremely picky with...

Hey Kona! I just put 22s on my Yukon and went with a 285/45 series tire. It only rubs when I tow. I know your 24s will be a bit larger but as long as you keep the ratio in check you should be fine. As for your 20s, I spent a good amount of time looking for them before I went with the 22s and I...

I just picked up my new 07 Yukon in June from a dealer in Florida and I had a hard time figuring out why I kept getting spider webs on the mirrors and on the hatch no matter how often I washed it. I finally spent some time looking around the car and found several spider nests around the spare...

That was a very interesting link. Great article from the Washington Post about government mandated fuel reductions and at what costs they come to us. There also some very supportive arguments for those of us that need large vehicles to tow. I know my Yukon is not the most environmentally sound...

Thanks for the great tips you guys! I will look into both options. I really wanted to get the autoride from the start but it was only available on Yukons with a ton of other options I didn't need. I will see if they can add it as a dealer installed option. I will also check on the Airlift kit...

I am trying to find a solution to the sagging rear end on my 07 Yukon when I hook up my 20 ft enclosed cargo trailer. A local rim shop said they have a spring modification that costs under $400. That sounds too good to be true. Has anybody done any rear suspension mods for towing. I have to be...
