However, I cannot recommend them. Kind of Cheap. These were for a 2007 Escalade. Although they fit for the most part, there are a couple of things different / wrong. I mentioned the second row short above. Also, this: IMG_20190220_121355.jpg

You see the grid behind the break pedal. should be where the worn out spot is. I can't imagine that the Escalade was that far different than the Yukon. I think this was just a miss on their part.

Then I found out why Rodney the sub box builder would not build the box any taller. The width of the tray prevented the seat backs from coming all the way down (arm rests hit), and therefore prevented the seats from folding and flipping, which prevents access to the third row. So, I had to ruin my beautiful work of art by sawing off the sides:
IMG_20181204_190158.jpg IMG_20181204_190158.jpg IMG_20181204_210844.jpg IMG_20181205_165622.jpg IMG_20181205_165648.jpg

But, the seats now flip and fold properly, and it still looks good. And I have 2nd and 3rd row cupholders. So a success all in all.

Then, Android Auto (AWESOME!!!). Switched head units. From this:

To this:

Doesn't look much different, but boy, the functionality is just awesome. Google maps or Waze straight from phone. Google assistant. Reads text messages and allows verbal reply. With the Maestro connection, shows Engine stats, battery charge, tire pressure all on screen. And I don't have to buy Navigation map updates EVER AGAIN, since phone maps update regularly for FREE (I hope that doesn't ever change, but...).

Yes, very likely. Which begs the question.... Which battery, X2 or Northstar?
