The only option I wasn't able to get on my '08 that I wanted was bluetooth. Can someone with Bluetooth give a quick overview of how it works in the PF? Does any call info show up on the LCD? Does it work well? Can you play music through the connection?
It also appears that the models I want come with the Smartkey which isn't something I want...but will deal with it if I have to. Does the smartkey include remote start?
No, no remote start. The Silver usually doesn't have Sat Nav either.skinny2 wrote:Thanks. Does the smart-key include remote start?
I've only found one silver addition within 200 miles! It's a private seller (over an hour away) which I'm interested in but I don't really want to waste their time until i'm sure I want to pull the trigger on this. Nearest Carmax is also an hour away.
Damn, I thought mine was loaded! I need to try that, but pretty sure mine doesn't have that.volvite wrote:Mine is an 08 with the Bluetooth and smartkey. I do have remote start. Push the lock button on my key fob twice and it starts up. Once I enter the vehicle, I then have to turn the key to the acc position and then it will allow me to put the vehicle in gear. If I don't have the key it won't turn to acc and if you touch the brake without turning the key, it will automatically shut down the car. LOVE IT. Works great in the summer and winter to cool or heat the car up some prior to my entry. 08 V8 LE For the WIN.
When I bought mine, the car salesman didn't even know. I showed him how it worked. Salesman for the most part are idiots. They know just enough to sucker in the weak.NmexMAX wrote:Damn, I thought mine was loaded!

2 items I've already noticed mine was missing was a front tow hook and tow harness.
Do you know if you have an aftermarket remote starter? I looked at the "intelligent key" section in my manual and it doesn't say anything about remote start. I know there are aftermarket systems that you can install and program to operate off the OEM remote so I wonder if that's what you have?volvite wrote:Mine is an 08 with the Bluetooth and smartkey.
