    Parasitic Draw

    Our 2016 Yukon XL has same battery problems...dealer replaced it last year with new battery, was fine for a few months, now is happening all over again. Can't even leave the vehicle over the weekend without driving, or it will either be dead on Monday morning or barely start...it was in last...

    2015 Tahoe HID's that work 100%?

    I am now about three months in on the kit from Carstuffconnection (Xenon Depot kit w/ upgraded Philips bulbs) with ZERO issues...got the capacitors/Canbus links from them for free. Coming out of a kit from Opt7 that was complete junk, I am very happy so far.

    Android Auto Capability Upgrade

    I was just about to post a thread on this subject...I too contacted my dealership about this, and they didn't seem to know anything about it. I need to get the truck in for some electrical issues and wanted them to do this update at the same time...if anyone has gotten this to work...

    2015 Yukon HID Conversion from The Retrofit Source

    http://www.kbcarstuff.com/H11-HID-Kits-s/10063.htm H11 Kit with the upgraded Philips bulbs. Look back in this thread and you will find a coupon code to get the capacitors (CANBUS adapters) for free from them. They shipped from Canada but I had them very quickly...very happy so far.

    Service Side Detection System

    I love the truck, but the many electronic gremlins have me worried...I get alerts about the Front Camera system, the RainSense, vehicle "not in park" (when it obviously is) and won't start, had a dead battery for no apparent reason...makes me enjoy my old K5 and it's old school simplicity that...

    Hot ports in 2015i Denali

    Nice...but I too wish it was the plugs inside t he console vs. the ones in the cupholder area, would be so much cleaner for wires...

    2015 Yukon HID Conversion from The Retrofit Source

    Not meaning to dredge up an old thread (that has old title), but just adding an update to my earlier post. I bought the HID kit from KBCARSTUFF over a month ago and it works perfect...not one complaint. I bought the Philips 4300 upgrade bulbs, rest of kit is the standard XenonDepot kit, with...

    Some weird Electronics and error messages?

    Haven't had chance to take it to the dealer yet, but had another issue last night. Went to leave a restaurant with wife and baby, and truck won't start...I see the "Vehicle Not In Park" message in the DIC again, so I try to move the shifter...it's solidly in Park and won't move...

    Has anyone had the service center turn off the AFM?

    Not trying to scare anyone from using it (I still plan on using it!), just relating my experience. This whole week, with the Range unplugged, the battery has been perfect and starter cranks much quicker than it had been last week before the dead battery. I'm going to plug it back in this...

    2015 Yukon HID Conversion from The Retrofit Source

    Week 1 report - all is well! Lights come on every time, no flicker, no fuss...hopefully it lasts long time. Xenon Depot kit with Philips bulbs, through KBCarConnection (with free CANBUS kit), works great. If anything changes I'll report back.

    Has anyone had the service center turn off the AFM?

    The Range device works great, does away with the booming associated with the V4 mode at certain speeds/throttle positions...however, be aware, the device seems to draw a fair amount of power (the instructions with the device mention this)...truck sat over the weekend and Monday morning we had a...

    2015 Yukon HID Conversion from The Retrofit Source

    So, after a few weeks of constant failures with the Opt7 HID kit, I went and got the Xenon Depot kit with the Philips bulbs through KBCarconnection. Installed last weekend, so far, so good...everything worked out of the box and no issues yet (crossing my fingers for long term reliability). The...

    2015 Tahoe driver side hid not working

    I had multiple bulb failures and one ballast failure on the Opt7 kit...returning this week. I had only one bulb work correctly probably 50% of time in the few weeks I owned them. I think the relay harness probably had issues too, as the bulb would work one trip, then next time starting truck...

    2015 Yukon HID Conversion from The Retrofit Source

    Ah crap, that's NOT what I wanted to hear... I hope I get lucky. The funny part is, the past three days in a row, the Opt7 kit has worked without a hitch! Go figure...

    2015 Yukon HID Conversion from The Retrofit Source

    So, after a month of frustration with the Opt7 Bolt HID kit, now gonna try the XenonDepot H11 Extreme kit from KBCarstuff.com...I can say that the customer service at Opt7 was VERY good, and they TRIED to keep me happy, but in the end, their kit was just plain unreliable. When they finally kind...

    How many of you DO NOT experience buffetting and vibration problem?

    No issues with my '16 XL over bumps...believe me, I know what everyone is talking about...my first experience with the booming was in a rental XL SLT in Hawaii on vacation last year...I made it bearable to drive all week by using Tow/Haul and Manual shift to keep it out of 4 cyl. We drove...

    Intellibeam help

    Yeah, the icon is on, I've just never had it activate the high beams automatically...I guess it has to be REALLY dark or something...I'll watch for it.

    How many of you DO NOT experience buffetting and vibration problem?

    After the Range AFM disabler, drives great, no booming...without Range, some noticeable booming in certain situations (namely, in 4 cyl mode at light throttle, at certain speeds.) The AFM disabler makes the truck what it should always be, a quiet, smooth luxury ride...no big effect on MPG either...

    Intellibeam help

    You do NOT have to do that every time you get in car, UNLESS you activate the High Beams manually. Also, if you activate the fog lights manually (only way you can), it overrides the Intellibeam until you turn off the fog lights, or turn the truck off...at which point the Intellibeam will...

    Some weird Electronics and error messages?

    Ok, it's getting weirder. This morning, went to open the XL, and like usual, I pushed on the button on the door handle to unlock with the passive entry feature, and when I opened the door, the vehicle alarm started blaring! Got it turned off. But as I was driving, I went to change radio...

    Some weird Electronics and error messages?

    So, we've had the 2016 Yukon XL since late November, and starting to see some weird things popping up here and there. Check Engine light has popped up twice now, but nothing in computer when scan for codes...light went off at next key cycle. This morning, the truck would not start when I...

    Low Beam Bulb

    Like the rest of you, done so much reading and research on these HID kits, it would make your eyes bleed. Purchased the Yukon XL SLT in late Nov, and pulled the trigger on the Opt7 Bolt Series HID kit after seeing many good reviews online. They include all the relays/capacitors, etc that you...

    Help finding Cadillac Dealer that will honor supplier pricing or better

    If you haven't already gotten a deal, look up Rancho Motors in Victorville, CA. Ask for Jason Wilkins, he's the General Manager and personal friend of mine for over 15 years. Tell him Keith Panza sent you. He almost got me to take a 2015 Escalade off his hands last week, but my wife wants the...

    Private Offers?

    Can anyone help me out with some Private Offer info? I received one from CHEVY, for $1500, but have been told by the GMC dealer that it cannot be used on a Yukon Denali we want to lease. My wife really prefers the Yukon over the Tahoe looks-wise, but I don't want to leave $1500 on the table...
