No locking gas door or cap?
What? Why do they want the cats, to resell for dope or something? See, a proximity sensor would help to prevent that type of crime. BTW-We were just posting in the front licence plate thread and talking about all the problems in CA. In SF which some consider the crown jewel of cities in your... -

Front license plate holder
I have friends and family that live in LA and Luguna and they are all moderate to conservative politically. They don't know people who are liberals, as none of their friends/coworkers agree with all the nanny state nonsense. So it is a big mystery how these cradle to grave politicians get... -

Key fob 'hidden' tricks...
I think you did post regarding a key fob, but not specifically regarding assigning it to another drivers preferences. I did find an owners manual and looked it up, but it does not have anything regarding how to assign it to drivers presets that I could find. I am assuming it can be done like...- Vector

Front license plate holder
I feel for you CA guys with all the rules/laws/regulations. How you allow the local and state politicians to mandate a nanny state on most everything you do is beyond my understanding. While too dark a tint, such as "limo tint" on a regular vehicle might get you pulled over or a ticket, few... -

No locking gas door or cap?
If you are asking me, I have not in decades. When I did, it was in an effort to drain a tank prior to removal. Still that misses the point, as I am not a penniless punk, but there are plenty around who would be tempted to steal $90 worth of gas. Heck a friend of mine had his convertible top cut... -

Key fob 'hidden' tricks...
Nice thread subject and hopefully this question can go here without having to start a specific thread. I only have one key fob for my 2015 Escalade. I plan on getting a 2nd one, and want to make sure it can be programmed to set the customization of the 2nd driver preferences (seat, mirrors...- Vector

No locking gas door or cap?
I hope there are other options, as those would look bad on an Escalade. Thanks for taking the time to look those up though. -

No locking gas door or cap?
Indeed, and siphoning is the small issue. All it would take to ruin your car would be some punk pouring something into your fuel system that would damage your engine. I cannot understand how such an obvious oversight could occur for the elite SUV they charge upwards of $90k for. -

No locking gas door or cap?
My 07 Suburban had the screw on cap, thus I put a locking one on to prevent fuel theft and more importantly vandalism. However the 2015 Escalade I picked up is cap-less and even worse, when the doors are locked and the alarm armed, the door does not lock. On our 2004 BMW 330cic when the door was... -

87 octane vs 91 octane
Well I just checked and Costco premium is 93 octane and is $2.84 per gallon. While certainly more than the 87 octane regular at $2.46 pg, at least it is $0.15 - 0.20 per gallon cheaper than what most premium is going for in S. Fl Plus if you have the Costco Visa, you get 4% cash back on every...- Vector

Best aftermarket alarm for the most stolen vehicle on the road.
That is a good point about the range of the proximity sensor on a large SUV. I wonder if more than one can be tied into the system. If not, I'd go for one closer to the front to try and prevent attempts to open the hood or go underneath to cut the battery cable. The tilt/motion sensor should...- Vector

Front license plate holder
For those of you in states where they have the unnecessary money grab mandating a front licence plate, we in Florida do not have such a big brother requirement. Needless to say other than what I mentioned, they look hideous on certain vehicles, such as Corvettes, thus some drivers in CA and the... -

Loose/sagging leather on center console armrest & adding wireless charging to it.
I would also note that might console lid seems a little loose as well. Not side to side, rather when I rest my arm on it, it goes down a little, and then raises back up when I lift my arm. My armrest in the 07 Sub was rock sold, so I looked to see if there was something I could adjust or... -

Detailing interior with proper products
I have a 2015 Escalade ESV and am pleased with the improvement of the interior compared with the last generation. As some know who had a 07-14, the dashboards were made of cheap plastic that was cracking despite not being old and properly cared for. That combined with peeling chrome off of... -

Loose/sagging leather on center console armrest & adding wireless charging to it.
While I appreciate the video, I had seen that one before. He appears to be taking an existing wireless set up and modifying it to fit larger phones. Mine, as you can see from the last picture I posted has a different size pad, and is devoid on any existing wireless charging, nor I suspect the... -

Best aftermarket alarm for the most stolen vehicle on the road.
I was thinking the same thing because unless they used the towbar on the back to lift and go, there is no way a flatbed is going to drag a SUV up it's bed before you and neighbors are alerted. As to the proximity module, the reason I think it is of benefit is because it alerts not only the...- Vector

Brand new worn out seat
I agree, as I am 6'7" and have been as heavy as 250lbs yet my seat in the 2007 Sub never seemed to be like the OP describes. Maybe the seats are not as well made in the new generation, just like our 07-14 dashboards had cheap material that kept cracking and breaking apart. -

Picked up 1/12/18
For starters it looks great. I knew what you meant by paint correction, as even brand new cars need to be cleaned, double clayed, and then have a sealant for longevity and overall appearance. However I have never heard of cquartzUK before. I thought you would say Zaino or some other top shelf...- Vector

Where to sell and how much to sell them for?
Indeed, it is even worse than that. They sent it off to the auction before I could bring in the other set of keys, fob, owners manual, remotes for the DVD system in the headrests, all the service and maintenance records, etc. Since I had all that in an envelope they took it, but said the car had... -

'18 Expedition Platinum vs '18 Yukon Denali
That earlier video someone posted shows how the Ford does not seem to balance the load, "Looks like it is squatting" like the poster said. My Chevy Sub did well with the weight and if anything was high enough to cause the tongue of the trailer to be a little high. Heck I don't even have the...- Vector

Where to sell and how much to sell them for?
They are leather, and are mostly black with a crimson middle. Indeed, if there was a way for me to find out who bought it, they would probably want them, as they match the color of the front and 2nd row. These people at the car lot act like they don't have the time to worry about such things... -

Where to sell and how much to sell them for?
I am not sure where to post this, so I figure general is as good a place as any. My 2007 Sub has the 3rd row seats, and I took them out a long time ago because I primarily use the cargo area. They have been stored inside the house, much to the annoyance of you know who. Anyway, I traded it in... -

Best aftermarket alarm for the most stolen vehicle on the road.
Well that is why I started this thread, so as to not only get the latest greatest info regarding Escalades (and interfacing with the factory theft deterrent system), but to be reminded about the old school stuff. I only had a gas cut off module on one car, but knew it would do the trick if ever...- Vector

Used 2015/2016 Escalade ESV vs. Yukon XL Denali - which to buy & why?
Well Tom, I am glad you like this thread/theme. As it turns out I went for an Escalade ESV based on price more than anything else. That is right, I found an ESV at the same price or better than a Denali XL. However, there is a catch in that mine is a early build Escalade, minus the 8 speed...- Vector
