    Upgraded VCIM OnStar Activation?

    I haven't had any performance issues at all. Connects just fine. I was never able to to get the OnStar activated, but that wasn't really why I did the swap, I just wanted to play with the phone App features, so nothing lost.

    Android with SiriusXM tuner

    Interesting... In theory, using that, someone with a little bit of Android app programming skills could either make Sirius/XM app clone that would use the Sirius/XM receiver via that interface.

    Android with SiriusXM tuner

    Aware, but the intent is to try to find a fully integrated solution/option for an Android based head unit, which apparently doesn't exist.

    Android with SiriusXM tuner

    Potentially, the Sirius/XM receivers have a unique connection/connector that is bi-directional though. Meaning not only does it send audio/info to the head unit, but also receives information from it, i.e what stations to tune to, pausing the song, starting it over, etc. So, even if you could...

    Android with SiriusXM tuner

    Work around, yes, as desirable, no. Some people don't have unlimited data plans, or want one. Sometimes you might be in an area with low or no data service. That's where satellite radio shines. Virtually always a signal, and if you barter with Sirius/XM you can get it for as low as about...

    Android with SiriusXM tuner

    The idea is to not have to use a connected phone for any of the apps or native Android features. To have a true Android head unit, not the Pioneer or Kenwood iterations, that can also interface with a traditional Sirius/XM receiver for audio. To my knowledge, nobody makes anything to...

    Android with SiriusXM tuner

    I've been looking for the same for a couple years. I look/search again about every 6 months, but so far I haven't come across anything. It unfortunately just doesn't seem to exist. Apparently more people just stream. Everything you find when looking for anything Android and Sirius/XM related...

    Auction paperwork???

    I know that this is a bit of a thread spin-off, but here pretty soon the resale value on anything used (clean CarFax or not) is going to nose dive. We've been heading towards a used car market crash like the real estate one years ago for a while now, and it's very close to happening, if not...

    Auction paperwork???

    Nothing is better than an old school take your time inspection of anything used you're buying. People place too much faith and weight in CarFax reports. I could wrap my Denali around a tree, take it to a buddies shop, straighten the frame, throw some new fenders and doors on it, and guess...

    Broken Motor Mounts

    It wasn't too bad. I had watched a ton of the Youtube vids out there on it beforehand, so I had a good idea of my plan of attack. Went in from the top, removed the steering shaft (after securing the steering wheel), and just took my time.

    Remote Start "Mode" While Running?

    Awesome find. This would be exactly what I'd like. They have pretty detailed instructions on the install which doesn't look too bad either. Definitely adding this to my (growing) list of wants/to do's.

    Installed my 2/3-4 Belltech drop.

    Exactly the stance I want for mine ('08 Denali) when I do it. Have a few other things on the "to do" before cosmetic stuff, but when that time comes, is this the kit you used @A2013 Denali ? http://tbssowners.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=87

    Remote Start "Mode" While Running?

    To thread hijack my own thread a little. I actually bought one of the Escalade fobs (I have a Denali) and it just came in today. It's definitely bigger than the standard fob. Not sure about it just yet. I'll give it a few days, see if it just feels too bulky. BTW, kbuskill, several of my...

    Remote Start "Mode" While Running?

    Yeah, I do the quick disconnect keyfob with my F250 (which doesn't have remote start), it was just a slow afternoon at work and I was contemplating how nice it would be to have the additional "security" or fail-safes that the remote start state has. An additional note about the remote start...

    Remote Start "Mode" While Running?

    To begin, I'm about 99% sure nothing like this exists, maybe legal/liability reasons, or just not enough demand. So, as most of us are aware, when you initiate a remote start cycle, the vehicle will of course start, then enter a state where all the doors are locked, the engine is running...

    Broken Motor Mounts

    Just to add another confirmation... Replaced the (severely broken) driver side mount on my '08 Yukon Denali yesterday with the H3 mount (PN 25847739). Fit great and the vehicle feels so much better now. Didn't really notice much (if any) change in any engine vibration feel.

    2008 Yukon Denali EVAP System Lines

    I'm having the common slow to fill the fuel tank problem on my recently purchased '08 Yukon Denali, likely caused by the previous owner(s) regularly overfilling the tank. I'm going to be replacing the EVAP canister soon, and although the recommended practice is to use some compressed air to blow...

    2008 Yukon Denali XL: Rough Idle/Accel after changing spark plugs

    There are few things you can try. First and easiest as Sumo mentioned, ensure all the wires are firmly secured and seated. Some brands of plug wires won't have that positive "click" like others will when they are fully seated on the plug. Just wiggle, twist, and push them as best you can to...

    08 Yukon Denali needs a face lift...

    If you really want to set yourself apart from the other (Yukon) Denali's on the road, you could do a Sierra front end swap.

    2013 Yukon Denali with RES - can I have OE DVD headrests

    Realize I'm reviving this thread from the dead.....LOL. That said, my recent new to me '08 Denali has this system already in it. Any of you out there that have this system, do you have any type of owner/operator manual? Some of it is self explanatory, each can watch their own DVD or one...

    Need some assistance

    Anyone have a PN for the line? Noticed mine is cracked down by where it slips on to the PCV valve on the back of the driver's valve cover. So far coming up empty on searches.

    Another Exhaust Manifold Clap Install

    So, the '08 Yukon Denali I recently picked up had a broken manifold bolt on the driver's rear. I ordered a Kral KAP169 clamp and installed it today after work. From most of the threads I had read, there seemed to be a few different approaches to how best to do it. Ultimately what worked best...

    Upgraded VCIM OnStar Activation?

    So, I called OnStar yesterday evening, told them I had tried activating through the OnStar button and it would never connect, and that I had also tried online with the VIN. The OnStar rep said that if it wouldn't connect by pressing the button in the vehicle, there was nothing they could do...

    Upgraded VCIM OnStar Activation?

    I reached out to the junkyard I purchased the VCIM from and was able to get the VIN from the donor vehicle. Thinking that maybe I could try activating the OnStar service using the VIN online I received the following message: "Unable to activate VIN We are unable to complete the activation of...
