"* Clock disappearing - I figured this out that having an MP3 CD with alot of songs overloads the software and kicks off the clock. Since I have my iPod hooked up, I don't need the CD anymore.
  
* Power locks not working - it's been awhile since that was an issue and seemed to work itself out. "
 
shawnhackett, I've referred some of these exact same issues to some attorney's and they are interested in hearing from more people with them. The address is http://www.wcclaw.com/CM/ClassActions/ChevyTruck.asp. I know I've given the address a lot, but some of these are the exact same issues that my attorney's are looking at.

Removing Front Passenger Seat by csprick

I just got my Ham Radio license and have a mobile rig on the way. In looking at my 07 Tahoe, it appears that the "best" place to mount the radio is under the front passenger seat . (The radio has a separate control head which I'll mount someplace on the dash.)
 
My question is - How hard is it to remove the front passenger seat? Mine is NOT powered (I only have a driver's side powered seat.)
 
I'm thinking I'll have to remove the seat only once, to mount the radio bracket to the floor. I think I can then install and/or remove the radio from the bracket without messing with the seat.
 
Any other Hams out there with any advice for me?

You might want to search on the internet. They make replacement consoles and/or equipment holders. The Tahoe and Suburban can be used by fire, police, and emergency workers, and there are companies that make a number of options for either replacing the console or mounting radio gear.
 
I was looking a couple weeks ago for a platform to mount a laptop to, and got some good ideas. I don't have the time right now to give you some URL's, but they're pretty easy to find.

If you'd like to see pictures of my Yaesu FT-8900 quad band installation, go to www.k0bg.com, click on "Photo Gallery", then "Other Installs", and go to Page 7. I have 11 pictures posted of my installation including 2 antenna mounts in the roof. Unfortunately, I could not use the area under my seat because of the power option. You'll be able to see where I mounted mine.
 
Also, another good mounting location is on the passenger side of the console, as forward as far as the seat excursion. RTV the mount to the console, and you can easily remove it without leaving any holes.
 
If you don't have the Bose option, remove the cup holder, and pull up sharply on the tray insert. It will unsnap and there might be a pretty large cavity underneath it. I don't know for sure becaue I have the Bose option on mine and that's where the sub enclosure and amp is located. vy 7 3, K3GM

Hi Chuck, I'm K2WE and have been a ham for 43 years. I have an Icom IC-208H installed in my '07 tahoe. The main radio is just sitting under the drivers seat. I have the remote head sitting in the console. When I wish to use it, I put 2 small velcro strips just under the center dash AC/heating vents. I just stick the head in place and it works fine. I have the remote speaker sitting in the console. As for an antenna, I have a dual band Larsen on glass antenna mounted on the rear drivers side window.. It works very well.. I was going to drill a hole in the roof for an NMO mount but never got the chance..Another friend, Rick N2YME has 2 mounts drilled in the roof of his '07 Suburban and he easily snaked the coax thru the roof to his radios.. By the way, I drew the 13.8 volts from the fuse block located in the interior side panel just under the dash. I snaked the cable under the carpet and nothing shows.. Hope this helps..

My 2007 Tahoe has had several issues, all covered by the warranty and not many have been fully resolved. My car is in right now for whistling. I had hired a sound specialist who rode in my car and found that the sound comes from the rear drive train. The sound occurs when the car is not in gear and is coasting at speeds of 45mph or more. The dealer has found that it is something to do with the rear pinion (I am not quite sure of the exact wording), but I am hoping that the sound stops for I have had it since day one of owning the car. I too can realte as to how annoying it is.

Where does one go to find a "sound specialist"?
 
I know that GM has a "vibration specialist" that connects to the frame and can identify the location of vibrations.

Service 4WD message by dmyer3

Last month my message center had a "service 4wd" message. It has been to the dealer 3 times and still not fixed. They replaced a wheel speed sensor and did some work on the wiring without success. They called GM and they suggested replacing the transmission control module, but it's on backorder so am just waiting. Dealer has been working hard but it seems to be an elusive problem.
Anybody else have this problem or have heard of it?

Shawn, did you get your whistling situation resolved yet?
 
I just noticed tonight a static noise which sounds like it is coming thru the radio, while idling or running at low speed. Radio is off, a/c and blowers off.
 
Does anyone have a copy of the above Document ID 1974648? .... or has a definitive fix been issued?

My question to you is why do you drive your vehicle at 45mph with the transmission out of gear? This is considered a dangerous practice. If the noise only occurs in this scenario then just keep the gear engaged.
