my husband purchased me a suburban (2007) for xmas. i was excited to learn that it had xm already installed since i had a roady installed myself in my minivan. there isn't anything in the manual about how to use the xm.

 

i have tried finding info online with no luck. all i can figure out how to do is change channel by turing the knob. that's it! isn't there some sort of presets for xm? how do i set my favorite artists to alert me when they are planning on another station? how do i figure out how to use the darn xm in my suburban? anyone know where i can find a manual for it?

My new truck had an XM manual in the glove box. Drop by your dealer and pick up another if you need it.

 

All you have to do is hit the "band" buttom to cycle thru Fm/Am/Xm and then the radio works just like Fm/Am..channels Xm1 thru XmXXX - 200and something.

 

For channel listings you can look online at the Xm site, just google Xm.

 

On the favorite buttons it works exactly the same - button 1 can be Amstation#1, button 2 Fmstation#2, button 3 can be Xm#1 etc...you can mix them all together.

Pretty much what NathanL said is it,You use XM just like you do AM/FM.

 

As far as setting it up to alert you when your favorite artists are playing on another channel....Can't do that with the factory XM radio.

I just installed a RoadyXT in my friends '98 Saturn (Since she's always playing with mine when she's in my truck!!!) and I noticed you could do that with it,I thought it was a neat feature and thought maybe I could do that with my factory XM radio,but you can't.

 

Also theres not really an XM "owners manual" per say,Theres just an XM radio listener guide that is in the glovebox of every new GM vehicle when it arrives at the dealer,It just basically tells you about XM as far as what it is,what is played on each station,and a channel/station lineup.

It does not tell you anything on how to work the radio itself,You have to refer to the regular owners manual for that.

 

If you want,since I work at a GM dealer,I can send you a GM XM listener guide,Just PM me your name & address.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
