#2077 of 2998 Re: GMC Acadia and iPOD - need help! [acadiachuck] by brutus22 Apr 03, 2007 (6:31 am)
Replying to: acadiachuck (Apr 03, 2007 6:17 am) simply use a 1/8" mini plug to 1/8 mini plug out of your headphone output of your ipod into the 1/8" mini input of the car. Simple as that, you probably have to select AUX for the Stereo head unit.   But I recall reading how GM and a bunch of others were offering more integrated IPOD interfaces, here is a blurb I found: "GM, on the other hand, has developed an iPod-specific device called the Personal Audio Link. This gadget, the size of a deck of cards, synchronizes the music player with the car's XM Satellite Radio band so that the XM interface can be used as controls--including displaying the song and artist information on the XM screen.   Like Ford's TripTunes Advanced, GM's iPod integration system will be located in the glove compartment and will also be able to charge the iPod while the ignition is running. The Personal Audio Link will make its debut this October in the 2006 and 2007 Chevrolet HHR sport utility vehicles; the carmaker will then gradually introduce the hardware into all 56 of its new car and truck models sold in the United States--mostly by the end of 2007.   GM's device will be an opt-in feature, retailing for about $160 plus installation charges. According to a statement from GM, a subscription to XM Satellite Radio will not be required for the Personal Audio Link to work."   Anyone have this set-up?   B.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Apr 03, 2007 3:34 am) Even if the Sienna gets regular doors it still will look like an ugly minivan, not a truck.   Some of us like sliders, although I must admit that I haven't shopped any crossovers (or anything else lately for that matter).

Replying to: steve_ (Apr 03, 2007 7:34 am) Oh, sliding doors are nice with small kids. I had a Montana before my Envoy. But would easily take a CUV over a minivan anyday.
#2080 of 2998 Enclave Brochure by blurrybill Apr 03, 2007 (10:07 am)
I'm new to the forums. Have been extensively researching CUVs. Have posted in the sister forum to this one. In brief, the Enclave brochure is very attractive. Features on the car are second to none for the money. Have priced Volvo XC-90, GL and M series, Mazda, Outlook and Acadia and can't beat the Enclave. Will this be my first non-Japanese car since the mid-70s? Could be. It surely looks good right now. (At 6-2, I can fit in this car and it meets safety, convenience, features needs). Check out the brochure and share comments. Thanks. Replies to this message: alohagirl92 (Apr 15, 2007 6:30 pm) mss42 (Apr 20, 2007 11:09 pm)

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Apr 03, 2007 3:34 am) Acadia hard to find? I drove by GMC/Pontiac/Buick/Hummer dealer in NE Memphis Saturday. Did not stop, but it looked as if they had at least 10 lined up out front. I just looked at their web site (probably includes their 3 dealerships) and it showed 35 Acadias in stock...could easily be incorrect, but they seem to be in stock now.
#2082 of 2998 Acadia & the missing bluetooth by mtairyordge Apr 03, 2007 (12:29 pm)
So this past Sat I went to test drive the Acadia. I was ready to buy but when I asked about the bluetooth for my cell I was informed that it was not available. Ok so when will it be, thinking 6 months or so. But No GM in its wisdom has decided to allow OnStar or Verizon to provide hands free communication with the Acadia. Why do I want to pay .20/minute with OnStar or have another cell account that no one will call me on.   GIVE ME A BREAK---   No wonder GM will soon become #2 or #3 they dont get it yet.   Sad thing is I would have gladly traded my Toyota for this vehicle. Guess I will wait till the new highlander comes out or treat myself with the new MDX. Can you say 1 with everything, please.

#2083 of 2998 Re: DVD player question [dmathews3] by kimdvm1 Apr 03, 2007 (1:22 pm)
Replying to: dmathews3 (Apr 01, 2007 3:14 pm) I suspect this is probably a government regulation. While of course the driver shouldn't be watching a video, the passenger certainly could... but I suspect this is another case of the government thinking we are all too stupid. Or else GM is afraid of all the attorneys that would sue them if they thought it caused an accident. Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Apr 03, 2007 2:06 pm)

Replying to: kimdvm1 (Apr 03, 2007 1:22 pm) All vehicles including Motorhomes are made so you can't watch TV/DVD while the vehicle is moving. At least in every motorhome I have seen all you have to do is pull a fuse and the TV will operate while driving.
#2085 of 2998 Re: Acadia & the missing bluetooth [mtairyordge] by nxs138 Apr 03, 2007 (2:13 pm)
Replying to: mtairyordge (Apr 03, 2007 12:29 pm) I thought someone had recently posted that the 2008 models would have bluetooth. So if you can wait a few more months, you'll be all set *edit: actually, I think it's the rearview camera that is coming in 2008*   I agree with you, this Onstar deal is for suckers who don't know any better (no offense to anyone).

#2086 of 2998 Re: Plant 2 [zman3] by 62vetteefp Apr 03, 2007 (6:25 pm)
Replying to: zman3 (Apr 02, 2007 4:37 am) SPRING HILL, Tenn. -- Saturn did a very un-Saturn thing last week: It shut down its factory here for retooling.   Back in 1996, Saturn broke ground for General Motors when it showed the automaker how to execute its first rolling model change. Former Saturn engineers are still teaching the practice around GM today.   Spring Hill was built to emulate GM's efficient Japanese competitors, who routinely switch models without stopping the assembly line. Detroit 3 factories typically had shut down for weeks to prepare for new models.   On Friday, March 30, Spring Hill built its last Saturn vehicle. Starting this week, the plant will be out of commission for 16 months as technicians and contractors remove equipment, redesign assembly lines and introduce a new vehicle, a Chevrolet crossover.
