You are right. My mistake, too early I guess. I would like to know how to keep it off.

I think you read it wrong. RhinoGuy is saying keep the airbag on even with no one in the passenger seat. See above quoted post

Yeah. I am wanting more control over the navigation. I don't really care about the airbags.

For those with touch screen radios, go to the local Dollar Store and pick up an iPad screen protector.

Cut it to fit your screen and place it there to prevent dings and scratches from fingernails, keys etc.

I purchased a Tech Armor off of Amazon for ours... They have them to fit many vehicles... But you can certainly buy some for an tablet and cut them to fit... They cause no issues after install.

You put like 50 pounds of crap in it lol. But now you have to deal with the dinging, so idk why anyone would do that

 

This should work.

Only on page29 of this thread, but here are two "tweaks" that I observed:

 

Hold down the FOB unlock button for several seconds, and all 4 windows will roll down. Maybe not the best tip in December, but good for Houston all year!

 

The "hang up" phone button on the steering wheel, right hand front, will also MUTE your radio.

-------------------------

Just read the rest of the thread, the window open from FOB has been covered!

LOL! That's not a dog, that's a frickin Ox!

 

Thanks everyone! Great info here.

I noticed when you get a phone call or make a phone call, the truck automatically turns down the blower fan for you. This is really nice when it's hot out and the AC is blowing at full force.

I have a '16 Denali. Should the navigation show traffic? It doesn't and I haven't found where to enable. Have this on my Audi Q7 and it is very helpful.

I've gotten traffic alerts that then show the issues but I haven't checked for traffic

 

 

 

There is an option in the nav menu to turn on (display) traffic flow

Has anyone been able to get the safety sticker off the sun visor?

Good question, I haven't tried yet though. My Avy and my older Silv they were like heat bonded on. 4-5 years after having it one started to peel off it just looked bad underneath so I fabric glued it back up.

Only if you have an OnStar subscription. And then only around major metropolitan areas.

I am dragging up this old topic because it helped me a lot. For many of us new members this would have never been seen. Its just buried to far.

 

As far as adding to the list i can confirm that my 17 LT has the window down function but now power fold mirrors.

Not sure if this has been covered or not. It's nothing awesome, just keeps your console a little cleaner looking.

 

If you use a USB connection to wire your phone or tablet you can route the wire down the inside edge of the console to the rubber tray below the dash. The lower edge is rubber and appears made to route and hide cables. Use one of the USB connections in the main bin and run the cable down behind the movable cup holder.

 

The cup holder can be rotated 180° and one looks like it's supposed to go one way but will work either direction. One direction does allow a little more room to run the cable however.

How do you remove the cup holder?
