I got my black on black last week. I saw that the passenger rear door seal at the wheel well came loose. It only had small green push type connectors connecting the rubber to the body. The drivers side has white push clip connectors. The white ones seem to grab better...not sure why they used two different type. Looks like I will be adding some 3M trim adhesive to these pieces as they are easy to rub when passengers exit the truck.
have fun.

I can't get the DVD to play a DVD. I get an error message saying can't read disc.. I have rear head rest type
DVD system. They work good. Did you have to do anything special to get the front DVD to work? I tired two different DVDs.
If you have any ideas, sent me a note to tdshapiro carolina.rr.com
thanks

Annoying Nav /radio system?? A few other comments.

I got my black on black 07 about 10 days ago. Overall a really nice ride. This is my 4th Denali type truck. By far the most features, but several things the designers / "engineers" should consider changing:
The Nav is nice, and I understand the idea of locking out some features when driving (I don't like it). But, the radio locks out the scroll bars when you drive too. It took me a while to figure out why the radio and XM would not show me "ALL" the stations when I was driving. They locked this out when you move... DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SHUT THIS FEATURE OFF?
The very small dash compartment to the left of the steering wheel is about 3/8" too narrow to fit 99% of all cell phones. This would have been a nice space to store the phone. The truck is really missing storage spaces - I LOVE STORAGE SPOTS, WE NEED THEM. My 01 had a few, and the took them away this year - WHY? The even removed the two storage areas in rear wheel wells. They were really nice.
Carpet mats are very thin - half as thick as my last truck. I ordered a nice after market set - $300.
The 6 speed trans is smoother that the older 5 speed. But the truck seems a but sluggish compared to my 01. I find myself playing with the manual mode and leaving it in 4th or 5th in the city- otherwise it bogs for me... And for more fun, I leave the trailer mode - its more sporty. I do have a lead foot, that's why I picked the 385 HP SUV. The truck pulls hard and shifts smooth. You just have to push the pedal a lot more than the older 320 HP 5 speed. My wife likes the smoother 07 however...
I have not seen any of the paint issues I read about. But I will be looking harder for them tomorrow. Overall I love the truck, just a few things they could have improved...
Enjoy.
Enjoy it!

Thanks for the info. I have a 07 im waiting on within 2 weeks, completly loaded. Im still on the fence with it though since Im thinking about a 05' Rangerover. I know they are different animals, but Im concerned the Denali is not going to get me out of sticky spots when I need it. I dont expect to do any crazy 4x4'ng, but like to know its there when I need it. Anyone have info on the denali's all wheel drive ablities out there?
Thanks

My 01 Denali was a GREAT truck. I loved it and felt guilty trading it in - it NEVER let me down one time is 6 years. I have 5 vehicals and the Denali was the most driven. I had it in the dirt and snow. The all wheel drive is especially nice - a lot better than the 4WD Yukons I've had in the past. I really think you are going to love the Denali. I am hard on the designers... I build a lot of equipment and deal with computers techs, mechanical engineers etc. So, I am picky. You will really enjoy the highway ride - that's where it really shines.
GOOD LUCK!!!

The 07 Denali has a "CAMPAIGN RECALL" (Product enhancement-HVAC reprogram). This recall reprograms the defrost computer. I did not receive it via mail but was made aware of it while they were replacing the rear side door REVEL MOLDINGS (the L shaped rear window moldings that kept popping out of their sockets).
I was informed that GM is aware of the rear door molding problem.
Otherwise…..LOVE MY DENALI!!

I got my 07 Denali XL a few weeks ago and after reading this board, I checked the engine compartment. I too have primer, not paint. I dialed my Rep from GM that arranged my "lemon" buy back and he says it's intentional. A cost saver decision by GM. I agree about the radio. It is terrible in my opinion. I too get fog in the middle of windshield constantly that I can't figure out how to get rid of. I also have a defect in the paint job on the outside in two places. The dealer is going to take car of it. Lastly, to switch sound front to back, press the black round dial on the top right hand side of the nav screen. The controls will come up. Now, all that being said, I LOVE my new XL. It drives so nice I'm making up reasons to go out and about in it! I think it's a great improvement over the previous model. I have no regrets.

Yes you can use them at the same time. The Nav disc is loaded behind the Nav screen and the DVD disc is load above the Nav screen.
