Is this the actual seat size? Thank you for the help.

No, that is the space between the seat and the variable.

DVD Audio Issues 08 Arcadia by pbradley303
Aug 11, 2007 (12:12 pm)

On our new 2008 Arcadia, I've run into trouble sending the DVD audio to the rear channels. This only happens on true dolby 5.1 DVDS. When playing a 5.1 DVD, and isolating audio to the rear channels, we loose most of the audio, only hearing what was tracked for the rear L/R for the surround sound. Does anyone know a way to force the DVD player into 2 channel mode? The only option I've found is to sort through the movies DVD audio options for a "non 5.1" mix. But most don't have that.
 
Thanks!

2008 Acadia Rear Power Gatelift by epvaman

I am ready to place an order for SLT1 AWD, and wanted to know if present owners feel the above option is necessary for my wife to load groceries into the back. She is slight of built and not very strong.
Are there any other must have options, or those that are not needed?

I am not of slight build and decidedly masculine and I appreciate having the power lift gate. In addition to the physical act of raising the gate, it's kind of nice when it's raining to be able to start raising it on the way out to the car and then have a semi-dry area to stand in and load the groceries.
 
Other options I probably would have gotten if I'd ordered the car from the factory are power side mirrors (my garage is pretty tight) and park assist (that rear window is *high*). SLT1 package offered everything else I needed, and frankly, nothing I didn't.

visibility with rear DVD by christens

Hello,
I am very interested in the Acadia or Enclave...I have driven the Acadia the most because of the proximity of the dealer. The ONLY deal-breaker for me thus far is that with the factory-installed DVD player down it really reduces visibility for me to the extent I'm not comfortable. Dealer tells me there is no other GMC option. My kids are (pausing to hang head in shame) quite hooked on the DVD and I'm not interested in withdrawels at this point. Any feedback on this issue would be appreciated...I'm not keen on having a 3rd party dealer install one but would if I had to.

Almost all of the Headrest screen units are aftermarket. There are some very reasonable ones out there on the internet, that come in self-contained replacement headrests, that you simply plug into power, each other if you want the same thing on multiple screens, and they match your upholstery amazingly well.
 
Beyond that however, I have no good alternatives for you. Surprised somebody from the Anti-Cell-Phone while driving lobby hasn't outlawed these DVD things already anyway.... They're way too convenient and useful and make traveling too easy on the driver - having the kids entertained and all.... Can't have that....

That is a valid point. It does diminish the view out of the rear view mirror. One consideration is if you buy the factory DVD WITHOUT the factory sunroofs installed, the player mounts higher up since the interior roof line is higher without the sunroofs. If that doesn't work for you, you may have to settle for the aftermarket installed in the headrests.
