What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[j91z28d1]

First world problems... lol

very much but I agree it's very annoying dealing with the kid and carrying stuff while digging out keys to unlock, put them back, load and dig out again. plus it's the only car we have besides my old project car that still needs a key.

I will most likely never own a push button start vehicle, don't need all the nannies either
just give me a 2020, cloth trim, column shifter, bench seat and a 6.2l and I will do the rest myself
all I want is power fold blinker mirrors and upgraded audio system

 

[j91z28d1]

eh.. it's the same thing.. today's key ign are just a switch that requests the bcm to start the truck and most newer keys have a rf chip in them of some kind. all the tech is there. may as well not have a key flopping around for no good reason. I'll take a push button over a twist button.

You know, I was hesitant about push button ignitions until I bought the Kia PHEV I used to commute in.
After driving that car for 3 years, I quickly became accustomed to never taking the fob out of my pocket.
Now, I often find myself having to dig into my pocket for the key to start my Yukon after I am already in the driver's seat.
It is very surprising that the top level trim Denali did not have push button start.

Seller approved my offer, I should have ADJUSTABLE headrests from an 08 yukon coming soon

I find the non-adjustable ones are more forward than I like, hoping the adjustable can have a more relaxed angle..

I need more info on this! I hate that gm took away adjustable head rests. I've removed the ones in my volt and spun then backwards for long trips. it's not great but better than noting.

At least in the hybrids. I mean I don't even have a starter. I'm. Just requesting a crank with a twist switch. it doesn't make sense and I know older gm cars that had it all the way back in 05

Been trying to track down this damn leak on my driver's side. We have been basically in a drought all summer long. So it has to be getting in when I go through the car wash once a week. It's definitely coming down the firewall because the matting up under the pedals is wet. I found this hole in the windshield seal and was hoping that was it, but it still leaks. I am going to seal the shark fin next and hope that does it. Very aggravating.

I filled that hole at the top with silicone adhesive. No after pic.

That has been leaking for some time now.
I would remove the A pillar trim and see if you can see any evidence of moisture there.
That would give you a clue to see if it is coming from above the windshield.

Here someone asking $750 per!!!

07-14 ESCALADE YUKON DENALI PUSH BUTTON ADJUSTABLE FRONT LEATHER HEADREST TAN | eBay

The headrest is adjustable in height and slides up and down and locks into place without any issue. It also has a push button that will allow the headrest to tilt to multiple angles. The headrest is in excellent shape for a used part, though it is not new.

Will update with review when I get them in...

Hello everyone, I am a new member. This place is an amazing resource.

I just came home with a Silver 2011 Tahoe LT 4wd yesterday. Today the first project was installing an Android based stereo head unit.

I have my doubts on these things in general but I went ahead and ordered from Amazon. Things weren’t perfect, but after a bit of googling and changes made to the backend software, it seems to be working great. Let me know if anyone has questions.

What do you think of it? Do you miss the volume knob? Does it sound any better than the factory unit? Did you get a harness adaptor with it? Have a link for that unit?

I have been chomping at the bit to do this. I have an iPhone though. Are you able to navigate all your phone apps like web browser and texts and such just as easy?

I can't wait till you find it! No luck finding anything under the cowl area? IIRC you broke your washer hose connection before pulling cowl piece..

Thanks yeah me too. Nope that's the whole reason I took it off to begin with was to try and find a leak in there. And you really can't see much under there anyway. There is like a big steel compartment welded to the firewall under there can't see jack under it.

 

[mikez71]

It is hard to see, and I could feel down the ends of the cowl where water could runoff.. probably can't see in there without removing fender..
Hoping my leak was the little pinhole I found, but part of me thinks it was too small to be it.. Same wet area, driver floor, close to ebrake..

My wet spot is right above the e-brake floor grommet. I looked there, looked at the harness grommet in the door jamb. Windshield seam. Hoping it's the shark fin now.

I went for one of the more "expensive" units. It was originally grouped with 2 other models on Amazon - the other 2 had knobs. I was going to buy a knobbed one but realized I haven't used a DVD or CD in 20 years or so.

There are buttons on the bottom but I use the steering wheel controls mostly. Everything is included but it may need something for the rear screen if you have one. I didn't bother hooking it up.

It has carplay for apple that works great - wireless. I was also able to download Netflix, YouTube TV and Amazon Prime to the unit and stream from my driveway. I am sure you can tether to your phone n the road if you want to watch tv and kill someone.

I cut the supplied harness's reverse line as I have the camera in the mirror. In my setup, the screen would go black in reverse with the unit, now it just stays as a normal screen (the mirror still works).

The sound was way loud at first - I had to go in the factory settings using code "0000" and tell the unit that I had an amplifier and adjusted the "gain". I didn't even end up using any of the 3 USB ports - just wireless. So, install took less than an hour in total. Simple plug and play.

Edited****
CarPlay is what apple uses for texts, calls, navigation, music apps. There is no web browser. The unit itself has chrome installed.
My system has the standard Bose amp - the unit integrated with it. Fade/balance works as you would expect.

Also, your question seems to be more related to the Apple car implementation. I use Pandora, YouTube music, (Spotify and Amazon music occasionally). I also use google maps for everything but apple maps are available also - the system (google) works amazingly to navigation.

750 is a lot. but I'd spend a bit for at least a black drivers one.
