    Do our $$$$$ Escalade's not have an integrated brake controller?

    Mine is an early build 2015, but a friend who has a 2018 doesn't think his has one, though he does not tow anyway. I just find it hard to believe their most expensive flagship SUV does not come with one standard. I was giving them credit for not having it in the panel as it looks somewhat...

    Do our $$$$$ Escalade's not have an integrated brake controller?

    I had assumed that just like the other GM SUV's that the Escalade had a trailer brake controller, but that they shunned the buttons/levers for a more refine look with electronics. Yet the other day I was looking through the manual to see how to bring it up on the touch screen, only to find...

    Best aftermarket alarm for the most stolen vehicle on the road.

    As a follow up I spoke with an alarm installer and they felt two proximity sensors could be wired in for more complete perimeter coverage for a large SUV. However they also said they thought one should do the trick. However the were wondering where I should install mine from my cosmetic...

    Folding mirrors automatically when parked?

    Funny how we experienced similar situations. For about a decade we were leasing Acura's when they were made in Japan. Then one year we were on the lot looking at a new one and the salesman said only to lease an imported one. I asked why, and he said build quality. The lot had both, so he put...

    Folding mirrors automatically when parked?

    That sounds like acceptance of poor quality, thus the fewer times the mirrors fold, the longer they will last. American car companies have improved from their "I don't give a flip attitude" they use to have once union mentality took hold. However once foreign (and especially Jap) companies...

    2015 Yukon SLT XL does it have wifi

    I don't get why GM did this with Escalades as well. You'd think a redesigned new generation would come with everything within the first year, then change to the next. Those of us unaware and buying early models have found great disappointment to discover our early 2015's are not 2015.5 (or as...

    Cart Before The Horse???

    The good news is that I agree, they look identical with a different branding. The bad news is that this company apparently does not make them for the Escalade ESV or trucks/SUV's, just passenger cars. So when talking to the guy at Autoanything, he said he had the front mats and cargo liner from...

    Somewhat Comical -- The Dealer Asked Me to Make an Offer -

    If you or someone knows, what is a SWAT security device? If it is a SWAT team standing guard to protect your vehicle, I'd say the additional $1k was a bargain.

    Cart Before The Horse???

    I looked into getting a set in Tan, but they are hard to find. Have you noticed that the two grommet holes for the attached nubs in our carpet fit right? Also, does moisture/dirt go into the holes and onto the carpet underneath? I have heard that Aries is not the actual manufacturer of these...

    2015 Suburban: Exterior Pillar Covers Popping Off

    I took mine to the dealer yesterday to have them fix one loose panel "out of warranty" on my dime. Funny how a known design flaw /poor materials can be out of warranty on a 2-3 year old car with the design flaw having nothing to do with mileage. Anyway, they took some type of black goo and...

    No locking gas door or cap?

    I owned a 1997 and it had a screw on cap. I think they always have until this new generation.

    HEADS UP!! Black plastic door trim falls off!

    To the best of my knowledge it is leather on my center console. I got off the phone earlier today with my local Cadillac dealer and the SA said Cadillac is cutting way back on extending courtesy repairs to vehicles out of warranty, even for known design flaws. He said he had a guy who was only...

    HEADS UP!! Black plastic door trim falls off!

    Yes it is. Now even if we were talking about one of their economy cars, people pay their good hard earned money and should expect a quality product. Thus for those of us paying what is close to the price of a condo in certain areas of the country, we should expect things like this to be...

    HEADS UP!! Black plastic door trim falls off!

    Well I went looking on Google to find a fix and came across this thread. I am hoping this is not one of several items like the last generation that GM knows is a design flaw, but refuses to fix once outside of the warranty. We should not have to be fixing these flaws out of our own pockets or do...

    Key Fob programming preferences for different drivers?

    Well I just picked up the 2nd fob and key. I asked the locksmith who programmed it to my ESV to show me how to do the setting of driver 1 & 2, but he said it was all via the CUE system. The fob he programmed to work with the ESV will have factory default settings, not specific to a particular...

    Key Fob programming preferences for different drivers?

    Well Clogan2 & Galante, I hope you two are correct, as that would make sense considering other manufactures have that feature. I am going to get a 2nd fob/key today and would like the locksmith who is doing the programming to set it correctly. He supposedly has the correct fob and knows how to...

    Key Fob programming preferences for different drivers?

    Wow, I'd hope what I think you are saying is not true. Many cars have the preset programming for drivers 1 & 2 correspond to a specific fob to where when the car is disarmed by a particular fob, all the settings automatically go to the corresponding driver. So if you saying the fob just...

    Key Fob programming preferences for different drivers?

    I just reread your suggested pages of the owners manual, but do not see how you pair one particular key fob to the driver one position/settings vs. the other fob to the driver two position/settings.

    Should I buy a '15 LTZ?

    Hi Patrick and welcome to the forum and future Suburban ownership. The following is coming from a multiple Suburban owner over the years and who also likes the latest generation. However, based on my pricing knowledge (having just been in the market for one until I picked up a 2015 Escalade...

    Key Fob programming preferences for different drivers?

    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 the same day to set the customization of the 2nd driver preferences (i.e. seat, mirrors, etc.). I've looked at a 2015 owners manual, but it does not specify being able to...

    No locking gas door or cap?

    Have you been to Frisco lately? It is pretty bad, and the bicycle data is documented, unlike the feces which I don't think the state monitors (as of yet) ;) The same is true of parts of Vancouver. I remember it as a wonderful city and in some ways it still is. However what use to be an eclectic...

    Front license plate holder

    How does that hold up in court if the cars from neighboring states do not require such things? Heck CA could go hog wild by nailing anyone without a dozen emissions requirements on out of state cars, much less a front plate.
