Is there anyway to connect an iPod nano to a new 2008 LaCrosse?

| Will the 2009 Buick Lacrosse offer Bluetooth Technology? Also when will the new 2009 Buick Lacrosses be out at the dealerships? | |

| I don't know. The reviews are pretty bad. I'd reconsider this option. | |

Replying to: jpstax1 (Jul 24, 2008 6:41 am) Buick uses the older radio platform that did not have the input port. Simple as that. The new platform does not easily fit into the old space and GM did not want to spend the money to make it fit midway thru the LaCrosse lifecycle. If LaCrosse would have come out a year later it would of had the new radio.

I can't believe that Buick wouldn't spend the extra money to include the newer platform radios (with auxiliary MP3 audio inputs) in a luxury car like the LaCrosse. After all, aren't they (along with Cadillac) supposed to be GM's premium motorcar division?

| Before driving across country in my 2006 Lacrosse, I want to replace the engine air filter. I can easily unsnap the two latches, but the housing is still connected. How do I get access? | |

Replying to: jpstax1 (Jul 28, 2008 5:09 pm) How can they? Every year many new features are introduced on new models. No manufacturer can keep making yearly changes on their carryover models. It would cost them billions to do it. They tool up a vehicle at $XXXXXXX and then they would have to spend money every year to retool it over and over. No one does that unless there is a real issue with quality or a real game changer. LaCrosse came out in '05 and it will be replaced in '09. The audio inputs came out in GM about '07 in large volume. Very hard to think they would spend the money and engineering resources for one or two years.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jul 29, 2008 3:52 am) LOL. Billions? Maybe millions. BTW, you don't have to defend GM on my account. I'm a very long time GM buyer, and I see how they skimp to save a few bucks here and there. I'm sure they've even substituted cheaper materials on your 'Vette just to save a few pennies. It makes the pencil pushers and bean counters very happy.
