#1775 of 2757 car starting with remote keyless entry by lenbroverman Nov 26, 2007 (6:54 pm)
Has anyone figured out how to start you car if the battery goes dead in your remote with the keyless entry? You can use your hidden key to open the door but there is no place for your key to start your car. Did Cadillac forget something?

Replying to: lenbroverman (Nov 26, 2007 6:54 pm) I doubt it. On my 07 STS there is a slot in the center console where you put your remote and that allows you to start it. There is a sensor there that reads something inside the remote.

Replying to: bding (Nov 26, 2007 3:03 pm) your contraint is probably the P63 the polished wheels....you will not get a build date until the order is accepted...and as long as the order has a constrained item..it will not be accepted for build and remain with the dealerships pool of orders awaiting an allocation....Your dealership gets a weekly constraint report....Thursdays I beleive.....the same day they get their allocations for ordering vehicles....your dealership knows this...your salesman might not but the inventory manager does....   go to another dealership to order your car....lots of folks have already ordered and recieved their car.....the ongoing constraints seem to be P63 and B20....I would suggest shopping around as well........

Replying to: bding (Nov 26, 2007 3:03 pm) I gathered some reassuring info from my dealer today. Refresher, my very basic CTS is black and black, Y42 package, manual transmission - ordered on Oct 26. After providing my manufacturing number, I was informed that the target build date is the first week in December with expected delivery in early January. Build dates after this time are subject to delays since the factory is shut down for the last 2 weeks of December. No indication of any constraints for the manual transmission according to what I've been told from my sales manager and GM Canada.

Replying to: thebug (Nov 26, 2007 2:31 pm) In January, after the NAIAS, I’ll probably try to order a 2WD, DI with all options minus sunroof. I know I wouldn’t be able to get the nav but things might change by then. Replies to this message: thebug (Nov 27, 2007 6:47 pm) cosmo13 (Nov 29, 2007 10:50 am) dmathews3 (Nov 29, 2007 12:59 pm)

Replying to: knotem (Nov 27, 2007 3:20 pm) knotem - Things with the nav system probably will change by then, or somewhere down the MY because of the voiced indifference with the sunroof. Besides, the nav system is a high dollar option, ($1000 vs. $3145 per order) and I'm sure they will figure a way to work those lost dollars in. They would simply have to just modify the PDW option.   If you remember, the PDW option wasn't one of the original options. It came to life (late Sep 07) only after people started requesting the car without the sunroof (as I was told by the dealer), but wanted the other bells and whistles included in their orders.   When you look at what the PDW package offers and requires, it's simply a scaled down version of the Premium Lux Collection. It's already too late for me but I hope it changes in time for your order, and the benefit of others who want to go that direction. If they're wise, they will make the change.   thebug...

#1782 of 2757 Update on my constrained CTS by ctbarker3232 Nov 27, 2007 (8:56 pm)
Great news. Last Monday, I got an email from my dealer that my CTS with Prem Lux and B20 and P63 had been accepted to be built by GM. Today, I get an email that it is scheduled to be built the week of 12/3. He said he will be able to provide a VIN in a couple of days. My dealer believes I will take delivery before Xmas which would be wonderful.   I've downloaded the manuals so that I will be up to speed when I take delivery. I am very excited. This is my first new car since my purchase of and earlier Motor Trend car of the year - a 2000 model year Lincoln LS V8.   -CB Replies to this message: rayainsw (Nov 28, 2007 4:49 am) bingoman (Nov 28, 2007 11:46 am) ctbarker3232 (Nov 28, 2007 3:22 pm) smokiejoe (Nov 30, 2007 8:01 am)

Replying to: bding (Nov 26, 2007 3:03 pm) My CTS with DI, Luxury Premium, Sport Performance, Polished Wheels, AWD, Black Raven was accepted on Monday. MSRP was about $49 so maybe what you are saying is true.
