----Love your new ride, Bill! With that said I hope that "most technical" part doesn't bite you in the a++! I have a few mid-2000's Mercedes that I can't figure out how to even program the clock. Would a knob be too much to ask? I probably would pay extra for a car or truck with less "tech", but then again some of my marbles may have already left the bowl!.....Bill S

Well I love the new ride, but the Navigation has not worked for more than 3 days since I bought it. They have had it 3 times and it's going back in on Monday. They have replaced the SD card, the SD card holder, the radio, and programmed the software 3 times. I have a customer who bought an early 2023 Escalade and had the same problem. His was the SD card but it took 2 SD cards to fix it, me so far, I am not that lucky. Now GM wants the part number off the cable to the head unit. We'll see. I am not loosing faith as I understand being in the business, these are the growing pains with any new technology. The Saga continues, more to follow. Today I'll see how it pulls the Car Trailer.

Well after 2 weeks in the Cadillac dealership, it looks to be fixed. The cables for the Navigation system have appeared to fix my problems. I've had it 2 months, and in those 2 months, the dealer had it 3 weeks, sounds fair right? They said they were going to "Do Something" for me, we'll see, but I'm not holding my breath. I still LOVE the truck! And like anything you Love, it's going to be testing your patience from time to time. Bill

Yeah, if it is a late 80s Jag.

If it was a late 80's Jag, the dealer would have had it for 7 weeks out of 2 months.

I had a 1986 Jaguar XJS V-12 Coupe so I appreciate the comparison. The dealer told me this 2023 Escalade has 310 different chips in it for what that's worth. In 45 years of playing with cars and trucks, I have never been afraid of technology, I get it. The dealer is going to bat for me and requesting Cadillac pay me for one month's car payment to make up for it. We'll see how that works for me. I'll report back on this if and when it happens. Bill
