Soon to be an XL-7 owner

[oldpapa49]

Ok, might pick up a Lux edition AWD tomorrow..

I have a few questions..

Im coming from a Outlander 07 XLS with almost all the goodies..

What I need to know since this Car is made by GM, are parts exchangeable.

Like NAV, Sat Radio.. etc.

I would like to get the NAV factory if possible and install it.

Also BlueTooth if it exists..

I Be missing my 650 watts of power but get better seating..
Missing Pedal shifters and keyless entry..

XL7 Lux also have keyless entry and remote starter. Sound - you can choose premium audio too.

About Navigation - better ask dealer. But interior looks the same in XL7 and chevy Equinox...

By the way - why you decide move from Outlander to XL7? IMHO Outlander very good car and equal to XL7. Plus Outlander have manual switch between 4WD and 2WD but XL7 doesn't (only automatic AWD)...

Its the 3rd row seat.. Grandkids getting bigger and they can go 50/50 instead of bench..

Yes I will loose the shifters by the wheel, My Sirius radio and the $WD selector. I used that alot this year but hopefully to adapt.

I understabd if you turn of trac control you get a slight improvement.

As I understand it, swapping a radio is not as easy as it was before, the radios are encoded into the ecu and the dealer is the only one that can do that (maybe if they know for sure it wasn't stolen). A better solution would be integrating an aftermarket GPS double din radio (like the Pioneer D3 or the Kenwood DNX7100) with much more features for a lower price.

Suzuki has XM Radio option. So you can cancel your Sirius subscription and get XM Radio. IMHO both services are the same

Where to get the adapter for XM.. I can install it no problems.

After Marker Radio.. Yes and no.. Guess I have to order the serv manual now..

Car in driveway with 30 miles on it now..

Much smoother ride, bumps are less noticeable..
Engine has noise, but its due to acceleration, outtie did the same.

And yes, Power..

More info as I go..

Will order schematics and check it out..
