Navigation Xmas LIST
Hello Friends, After 20 years driving Chevy Surburbans, I was talked in to a brand new 2008 White on Sand HSE today.
Ok I got a good price, had a great salesman here in Dallas, and was happy, UNTIL..drove off in the shinny new car and the alarms started going off...Suspension Fault, dont go over 30 MPH..oh hell..Flashes of being 37 of 37 on JD Powers list, all the stories about poor reliabily etc poured in my head..IDIOT! 5 miles old...OK took it back turned out to be a loose connection under the spare tire connected to the pump??
Whatever...But in the next 30 minutes I developed a few needs:
1. I need Nav on the GO/Fly...the 1791 hack didn't work for 2008 models!
I already contacted our resident boy wonder college kid to help me out there.
2. I want to be able to watch a dvd in the Nav Screen, i think passengers in the front have that right. If you put in ash trays for smoking, why not let us drive off the road while watching a dvd???
3. I want to hard wire my smasung Smart phone to the cradle, is it possible, or where can i get the cradle RR speced that NOkia told me was never made? Crazy that a car company could be so stupid!!
4. It would be nice to be able to toggle the back up camera, so i can see who is tailgating me in my blind spot.
5. I also want to send and receive SMS to the car
I would appreciate any guidance you can offer,,
And I look forward to reading the forum[/align]
