#284 of 303 Re: In-dash navigation system [intrepidcub] by lane2 Apr 28, 2007 (5:09 am)
Replying to: intrepidcub (Apr 26, 2007 6:21 pm) It all looks great. Does the factory installed pieces come off easily? Screws, clips, snap-off ?? I haven't tried to do anything to mine because I don't want to crack something. When you were on ebay, did you search for Rendezvous wood dash, or ??

Replying to: lane2 (Apr 28, 2007 5:09 am) the pice that goes around the radio, cluster and healdight switch is all one piece so it can be a pain. but you take two screws off in the driver footell that holds the black panel where the light is then pull the knee panel under the column off its helpd with clips and then you can pull all around the dash trim and it pops out. you do gotta move the shifter too 1 and tilt the column down to get it all off. otherwise it pulls off with clips. then as you pull it away you need to unplug if you have the DIC or HUD.unplug it before you tug on the wires to much. you can pop that control panel its attached to off but i find its a pain to do. now outting it on can be a pain esp around the cluster you gotta flex it and bend pieces to get it to fit ive doen mine 4 times and havent broke anyhitng or damaged anything so it can be done. i got the factory wood part cause the wood look is molded around the edges compared to the stick on that just sticks on. yeah on ebay i jsut type in Rendezvous Wood and it pops up. but there are tones of sites that sale wood dashes so shop around. i also got the 06 wood steering wheel that matches but i cant get the airbag off GRRRR Replies to this message: lane2 (Apr 28, 2007 8:59 am)

#287 of 303 Westin Safari light bar & rear storage shelf by barneyea May 30, 2007 (5:37 pm)
I installed a Westin Safari light bar on my 2005 Ultra and it did not fit. After talking to Westin, we determined that Buick had put a different engine cradle in the 3.6 cars, with different mounting holes. Westin offered to take the bar back but I made an adaptor to make it fit. They had no intention to modify their mounting kit for 3.6 Rendezvous. Now that more Rendezvous are equipped with the 3.6 they may have changed their minds. If anyone is interested I can share my modifications.   Second item...I made a rear storage shelf that clips on the tie down in the rear. I made my shelf 16" deep x the width of the car, about 42". It can be made larger and comes out quite easily. The advantage of the shelf is that smaller, light items can be placed on it the heavier, bulkier bags and boxes can be removed without moving the light stuff. Again I can share the plan/pictures.
#288 of 303 Adding upgrades to 2005 by vernonea Jul 29, 2007 (9:41 pm)
I purchased a 2005 Rendezvous. I see that in 2006, Buick introduced the Nv system as an option.   Could i get this system to work on my 2005?   Also, I really like the HUD feature. Anyone know where I could pick up this feature, without going to the dealer?   Thanks
#289 of 303 Can someone give me the color codes on the radio wiring harness on 2003 RDV by achopra Apr 22, 2008 (6:49 pm)
Can someone give me the color codes on the radio wiring harness on 2003 RDV CX with the basic single CD Changer.   I do not have Onstar or premium bose system.   I have managed to hook up another aftermarket in-dash GPS/DVD player. I am having troubles finding the wires to hook up to the illumination of the aftermarket deck as well using the steering controls with it. The new deck has two wires to connect to the steering wheel controls, I don't seem to figure out, which ones on the factory harness are used for steering wheel controls.   Also, I have got an input for the reverse camera on the aftermarket deck that requires one wire to be hooked on to the reverse switch. Can anyone please shed some light on that as well.   Thanks

Replying to: barneyea (Oct 10, 2005 6:19 pm) Did you ever post plans for your storage shelf for the Rendezvous? I'd love to see them. I have '02 REN and I think it is a great idea....
#291 of 303 2006 RDV Cold Air Intake and Tuner by standerson10 Jul 24, 2008 (9:02 pm)
My wife has a 2006 RDV and I have a 2006 F150 5.4. We're just a little surprised that they are getting very similar gas mileage.   Does anyone make a cold air intake and/or a tuner for the RDV?   Thanks.
#292 of 303 Adding extra lights in the rear... by spike99 Sep 14, 2008 (4:21 pm)
My wife allowed me to buy her a 2003 FWD RDV approx 2 years ago. Even since the day we bought it, I always felt it needed more rear lights. Mostly because the rear of this vehicle has high mounted lights. Today, I installed a simple ID Bar (which has 3 little lights) under its rear bumper using a simple 90 degree piece of steel. If wondering, these 3 little lights are connected to its running/clearance lights (brown wire).   For some pictures, surf: ID Bar: http://www.etrailer.com/pc-light-bars-incandescent~MC94RB.htm http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w251/Spike99-Pictures/Misc%20Pictures/Lights-- - - 1.jpg http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w251/Spike99-Pictures/Misc%20Pictures/Lights-- - - 2.jpg   If you are thinking of adding more rear lights to your non-trailer hitch RDV unit, this modification can be `cloned` on your RDV as well...   Hope this helps others...   .
