In many cases, these items are not interchangeable among vehicles. If the wrong components are provided to the customer, dissatisfaction will result. For example, a Chevrolet dealership will have three different remote controls and they are not compatible (Malibu Maxx, TrailBlazer, and Uplander). However, the headphones are compatible with all GM DVD systems except the minivans, which require a 2-channel wireless headphone. If the 2-channel headphones are used in the wrong vehicle, channel 2 (RSA) will not be audible, but channel 1 (DVD) will be audible. To help keep these components straight, here’s some information about the systems in use. System 1a -- DVD RSE The following headphone kit (p/n 15140532) is released for the 2005-07 Malibu Maxx only (fig. 1). The remote control will not work with any other GM vehicles. 15140532 (Visteon) Headphone Package (DVD RSE) part number quantity item 15762534 2 Headphone Assembly (1 Channel Wireless ) 22698894 1 Control Assembly - Video Player Remote 15073730 1 Pack Battery Package - Headphone 4 - AAA 15072561 1 Pack Battery Package - Video T/Player Remote Control 2 - AA 22727857 1 Instruction - Video Disc Player Operation 15140533 1 Instruction - Video Disc Player System 1b -- RSA without DVD RSE TIP: The Malibu Maxx is the only current GM vehicle that offers an RSA system with wireless headphones. The other GM vehicles have RSA systems which use wired headphones (which are not provided to the customer). The following headphone kit (p/n 10396845) is released for the 2005-07 Malibu Maxx with RSA option (UK6).. 10396845 (Visteon) Headphone Package (DVD RSA) part number quantity item 15762534 2 Headphone Assembly (1 Channel Wireless ) 15073730 1 Pack Battery Package - Headphone 4 - AAA System 2 -- DVD RSE The following headphone kit (p/n 15072230) (fig. 2) is released for the 2005-06: - Buick Rendezvous and Rainer - Cadillac Escalade, EXT, ESV, SRX - Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado Crew Cab, Suburban, Tahoe, TrailBlazer - GMC Envoy, Sierra Crew Cab, Yukon, Denali, XL, XL Denali - Pontiac Aztek - Saturn Vue TIP: The remote control will work only in these GM Vehicles. 15072230 (Panasonic) Headphone Package (DVD RSE) part number quantity item 01999421 2 Headphone Assembly (1 Channel Wireless) 01999355 1 Control Assembly - Video Player Remote 15085989 1 Pack Battery package - Headphone 4 - AAA 15085988 1 Pack Battery Package -Video T/Player Remote Control 2 - AA System 3 -- DVD RSE The following two kits (p/n 15136091 and 15136092) are released for the 2005-07: - Buick Terraza - Chevrolet Uplander - Pontiac Montana SV6 - Saturn Relay TIP: The remote control will work only in these GM vehicles. Channel 2 of the wireless headphones will work only in these vehicles (Channel allows you to listen to DVD and Channel 2 allows you to listen to RSA). There are two DVD systems available: - A base system U56 comes with a remote control kit only (no headphones available). - An uplevel system U42 comes with a remote control kit and a headphone kit (fig. 3). TIP: Headphone kit TX3 can be added to either system. TIP: Batteries are not included. 15136091 (Hosiden) Headphones Only Package (DVD RSE) part number quantity item 15185391 2 Headphone Assembly (Dual Channel Wireless) 15136092 (Hosiden) Headphones Only Package (DVD RSE) part number quantity item 15190411 1 Control Assembly - Video Player Remote TIP: If a kit is misplaced or was not shipped with the vehicle, follow established procedures for misplaced/missing components. The service part numbers for the kits are the same as the OEM part numbers. |

For anybody that has bought a new 2007 Tahoe, based on your experience, have you found the dealers firm on the Advertising Fee and Dealer Prep? I'm looking at invoice price for ordering a new 2007 Tahoe with the LT3 package and around another 2K in other options, but the 2 dealers I worked on a deal with so far wouldn't budge on the $813 Ad Fee and the $499 dealer prep. That adds $1312.00 to the invoice! This doesn't even account for the factory holdback I'm sure the dealer is getting on this vehicle! As I said, I've only delt with 2 dealers so far, but have been a little surprised by how adamant they were about refusing to negotiate these fees! I'm going to be faxing offers to another 2 or 3 dealers tomorrow and hope the response is better. Anybody else had the same or similar issues trying to work a deal? |

Replying to: greg33 (Mar 13, 2006 12:01 pm) I suppose the dealership can call the fees anything they want. The Ad fee is legit, although their's sounds a bit high. $499 prep fee is pure profit. GM already compensates the dealerships to prep new vehicles. So, I think you're into a bit of semantics with the dealership. Your hot button seems to be "buy at invoice". Dealership knows these are relatively hot vehicles and will sell for more than that. Plus, there are no rebates from GM on these. Sounds like they are willing to sell you the Tahoe at $13K+ over invoice, no matter what they call it. You certainly aren't going to get into any of the holdback since they are a new design with no factory money as incentives. I'd go in offering an "out the door" price (that is, purchase price + taxes + fees + title & license). I'd shoot for $500-$1,000 over invoice + TTL and see who bites. |

Getting ready to make an offer on a brand new loaded 2006 Tahoe. MSRP is $50,080. Dealer is at $38,900 before any discussion/haggling. Would 36k out the door be a fair offer? I am trading in a 2000 Windstar. I thought about saying $30-$31 k with the Windstar? Another dealer offered me $5600 for the Windstar. How do the offers sound? Should I negotiate car price first, then trade separately? Or bottom line price? Any advice is appreciated. |

Here is the break down on my deal on a 2006 Tahoe. This was a demo with 5600 miles on it. $49120.00 sticker price. $ 6776.00 discount $ 5500.00 Rebate $ 2000.00 special Dealer rebate cash ---------- $34844.00 $ 2119.00 GM card (gave me $1500 extra to make over $2000) --------- $32725.00 $ 1956.44 6% sales tax --------- $34681.44 $ 32.00 license and transfer fee --------- $34713.44 total out the door price So you should be able to get about a $14,500 discount off the sticker price. This was purchased on 02/28/06. They should be ready to move them if they are still on the lots. I really like mine. I didn't figure the trade in on this but they gave me $15,300 on a 04 Trailblazer with 20k. That was more than it was worth. Going price on the Trailblazer was about $13,500 at the time. They really wanted to move this Tahoe. |
