    Shark fin for roof antenna

    well the sun/UV beats on it pretty good, and the luggage rack I put on seems to hold up pretty good. well, either would work I guess. The internals are typically slid/screwed/glued in, so it would be easy to replace with anything "shark fin" So something ABS, with a matte outside would...

    Shark fin for roof antenna

    Hello all, I used a shark fin antenna, in the same color (white) as my Tahoe, but the sun up here turn them yellow in no time. Does anyone know of one (shark fin) in the same finish as the luggage rack, outside door handles etc? thanks, Ron

    USB charger replacement for cigarette lighter oulet

    Hi Kyle, I bought the whole trim panel comes with a USB socket and a regular outlet, on ebay. I am looking for a antenna shark fin in the same finish as a luggage rack though. The white ones turn yellow up here, which looks weird. Ron

    Driver door pull

    I did what Kee mentioned, works REALLY well: I started that yesterday. I used masking tape to hold the armrest in place, and to tape off the crevices etc. Then wrapped it in plastic wrap, and duct tape over that. it worked really well!!, it's actually pretty sturdy, and almost no...

    Driver door pull

    Sorry, been a really long time but found it again, was away for work for months. If one wraps the armrest in saran wrap and tape it up, how did you get the foam in? thanks, Ron

    Hidden harnesses in the PPV

    That plug doesn't match. I have done all that. Put a console in, wired it with USB chargers, a wireless charger, I put in the DM NAV radio, with bose (knock-off) amp and a HDD with music. I also added a camera, that work with the radio and a upgraded mirror with a little screen in it. I...

    Hidden harnesses in the PPV

    If it has the actual audio controls, that won't work. USB etc is easy. I actually put a wireless charger under the lid (the plastic indent/handle). You'd need one with two coils though (I bought a cheap two coil one, took it apart and hooked it up. If you get the power from near the...

    That is correct, there is a plug you can add a dimming mirror, and also one of those mirrors that has a video screen Ron

    Driver door pull

    I though about using mesh, adhesive and filler.. but since it has a messy tendency.. I didn't do it yet

    Driver door pull

    Like in my 013, the driver side door panel handle is cracked, rubber tends to pop upwards, because the handle is cheap plastic.. and can't handle being used to close the door and cracks/breaks over time? Yeah smart ass answer. the plastic broke, and if you open it there is a lot of "filler...

    How to Enable Daytime Running Lamp?

    didn't know that, I noticed the strange behavior of the switch I have (can't turn to off, it's springloaded and always has the running lights on.) Yeah we have the same problem here, in some areas/roads here, gets scary sometimes. Ron

    How to Enable Daytime Running Lamp?

    Isn't that maybe just a switch 'thing', instead of a BCM thing? Mine are always on (2013 SSV), but the knob is kinda weird, when you turn it all the way counter clockwise, to 'off', it goes back by itself to the first position, running lights (so the running lights are always on, not the head...

    Ballistic Panels

    from what I understand, those vehicles are not street legal, ever.

    Ballistic Panels

    All special order, or after market, some have gun racks, some even have "fire arms" installed, in specially converted SSV suburbans. and lots of surveillance stuff and electronics. These are not "street legal" vehicles anymore, from what I heard, though.

    Some of them come really "tricked out" too... but are never put up for resale. Ron

    Ballistic Panels

    I checked with "a guy I know"... you can actually get these panels, for in doors etc etc. They are kevlar panels that can be installed. (they appear to be available factory, per special order, but also after market.) They are used by vehicles in use by protective forces, and have decals for...

    Center console question

    The wireless charger is actually pretty easy to do. The only thing I changed afterwards was to use a USB cable that has a braided outside instead of plastic/rubber. The rubber/plastic one got pinched/frayed, the braided usb cable doesn't seem to have that problem. (I also found out that there...

    Center console question

    PS: it's the part below the radio, there are two cigarette sockets, and the buttons for traction control, pedal adjustment etc etc. The one I bought had 2 sockets instead of cigarette lighters. The complete parts was something like $30, about the price of one USB socket. (the part was old...

    Center console question

    Hello Jay, I have the impression that most of them come with "something" in there, usually audio, sometimes, audio/video, sometimes AC controls, and probably rarely a "cubby" (that is how I found out there are cubbies for it). It seems (of course) that the rare ones are more expensive. So...

    Center console question

    Hi Stephen For the USBs (charging only) I got a GM part, that had the whole panel and used the USB ports, that was way cheaper than getting the individual USB/lighter ones (you'd need a power converter though to go down from 12v ) Ron
