My 2008 Cadillac CTS with XM

[TSS Taylor]

I just got a used Cadillac CTS. I really splurged and kinda feel quilty for it. But I've fallen in love with this car. The handling and ride is awesome as well as the looks but it was the Satellite Radio and Navigation that truly sold me. I just want to post about the features of the system as I had no clue something like these features existed in an OEM setup. I loved my Alpine Nav system with SIRIUS Travel Link (for sale now) but this takes the cake.

Here is the car.

Interior with new TSS Hat.

Pop Up Navigation Screen and Info Screen. When you buy a GM Car they throw in 3 Months Free on new or used cars. I had to pay for Best of SIRIUS or XM NavTraffic. I forget which.

Here is a close up of the display.

Navigation Display.

You can do a split screen of the Navigation and Audio Screens.

Here is the Traffic and Construction Warnings from XM Nav Traffic.

Here is the 3 Day Forecast care of XM Nav Traffic.

Here is the REPLAY Feature because of the Cars 40 GB hard drive.

The amazing thing about this replay feature is it does it for AM and FM as well. But beyond that if I pause a channel and LEAVE the car for an hour, I come back and it caught the whole show or station. It doesn't just start over when you get back in the car. I still can't believe it.

Also the presets can be a mix of AM/FM and XM, though I don't use those

The car has an iPod connector in the center console as well as a USB port to load music into. The 40 gb hard drive clearly saves a lot of songs, it's just not something I will use much.

You traded in the Neon?!?!?...:shock:

Nice car. No drive through for you...

Very nice! One question, can you drop the display down once you tune a channel and still listen or does the display need to be up all the time?

 

[TSS Taylor]

Yeah, the Nav can pop down. Here is a shot of it with it down.

I agree, sweet ride. You deserve it.
