Yep, and I edited it for briefness. The entire subject of Vehicle Personalization is probably an all day course.

FROM YOUR OWNERS MANUAL: ******************************* Vehicle Personalization Your vehicle is equipped with personalization that allows you to program certain features to a preferred setting for up to two drivers. The back of the keyless access transmitters are labelled 1 or 2. The number of programmable features varies depending upon which vehicle options are purchased. On all vehicles, features such as climate control settings, radio and XM™ preset settings, exterior lighting at unlock and remote lock unlock confirmation and language have already been programmed for your convenience. Your vehicle also has an automatic door locking feature that is always on. You cannot turn the automatic door locking feature off. See Programmable Automatic Door Locks . Some vehicles are equipped with additional features that can be programmed including the seat, steering column, and outside rearview mirror position. If your vehicle has the base audio system, the following information explains the vehicle personalization on your vehicle. If your vehicle has the Navigation system, see "Personalization" in the Index of the Navigation System manual for information on vehicle personalization. If your vehicle is equipped with the ability to program additional personalization features, the driver's preferences are recalled by pressing any button on the keyless access transmitter, 1 or 2, by selecting Driver 1 or 2 on the radio display, or when a valid keyless access transmitter is detected upon opening the driver's door. If more than one valid keyless access transmitter is detected upon opening the driver's door, the driver preferences for the lowest driver number will be recalled. Certain features can be programmed not to recall until the ignition is turned off. To change feature preferences, use the following procedure. Entering the Personal Settings Menu To enter the feature programming mode, use the following procedure: Be sure the ignition is either on, in ACC position, or in RAP and place the transmission in PARK (P) or the vehicle speed is less than 6 mph (9 km/h). Press any button on the appropriate keyless access transmitter to identify yourself as Driver 1 or Driver 2. Turn on the radio by pressing the power/volume knob. Press the CNFG radio button or the tune/select knob located on the right side of the radio to enter the radio's main menu. Turn the tune/select knob and scroll to SETUP. Press the tune/select knob to enter the SETUP menu. Turn the tune/select knob and scroll to PERSONAL SETTINGS MENU, then press the tune/select knob to turn the feature on. A check mark appears after this selection when it is turned on and the entire list of personalization features will appear. Turn the tune/select knob and scroll to the feature you want to change, then press the tune/select knob to turn the feature on or off. If the feature is turned on, a check mark will appear next to the feature name. Some features have submenus that show additional features that can be turned on or off. After entering a submenu, turn the tune/select knob and scroll to the feature you want to change, then press the tune/select knob to turn the feature on or off. Personal Settings Menu Items The PERSONAL SETTINGS MENU must be selected with a check mark to program the personalization features. If it is not selected, press the tune/select knob until the check mark appears. If it is selected, the entire list of features will be available to program.

Way to go Lothos!

Edited to delete stupidity.

I'm wondering if he won't arrive here with a *BIG SPLASH* on the day after his retirement? One can hope, can't one? Regards, Warren

I've been using Photobucket for some time now and find it *very* useful. It's kinda neat to be able to sit at any web connected computer and show a friend photos of your latest bathtub remodel job etc. You should be careful, however, about uploading large photos for use here. A panoramic view of your Cadillac can make this page very wide! Bummer. Resize it before you upload it to Photobucket. Also, when you link to a Very Large Picture (VLP), you might consider indicating its size (parenthetically perhaps?) for the benefit of bandwidth limited members. Regards, Warren

A very helpful post. Thanks Barry94! Regards, Warren

Congratulations on using such a fine grit paper. THAT was important. And I suspect you know it. Many folk think they can just file or sand ANY contacts to bring them back to life. And, of course, they do revive . . . . for a week or two. What people often don't realize is that by filing contacts they have enormously increased the surface-to-air ratio of the contacts. Perhaps hundreds fold or more. This promotes rapid oxidation, i.e. rust. That's shortly followed by even worse contact resistance. The best solution is to use a "burnishing" tool or apply that contact cleaner to a strip of paper or very thin leather and draw it repeatedly back and forth between the closed contacts. You'll wind up with clean contacts without developing the extra surface area that promotes rust and even worse problems than you started with. Regards, Warren
