Another question anyone know how to stop the doors from locking when you shift into gear? Don't want to get locked out at AutoBell...thanks for any info!
Look in owners manual. It's probably one of settings in DIC that can be changed (driver information center). On mine I push two buttons for 5 seconds and it goes into the settings, one group for each of the two drivers. Many things can be turned on and off. I know unlocking doors when put into Park can be turned off, obviously a security advantage in unsavory areas of town. So I'd guess not locking doors going into Drive would be there also.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
I can click through FM, AM and SAT but do NOT see AUX. I tried CD/AUX button to the left of the Configuration Round big Button. I tried everything and still cannot get AUX. When I press CD/AUX I only get CD and I don't have a CD in the player so I get No CD Loaded.
Anyone have a fix for this? Worked fine for months and now..........
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
The following list of menu items will
be available:
. Climate and Air Quality
. Comfort and Convenience
. Collision/Detection Systems
. Language
. Lighting
. Power Door Locks
. Remote Lock/Unlock/Start
. Return to Factory Settings
Still do not know what happened and how to correct. Will call the dealership tomorrow.

No need for a software change. I never bothered w/ that as I don't have any voice dialing set up in my cell. My father does, and he bought a CXL w/o nav.
Anyhow, (page 6-56, Voice Pass thru) Press the voice button on the steering wheel. You will hear a beep. AFTER the beep say " Hands Free". The system should say "ready", then you say "Bluetooth". The next prompt will be "Bluetooth Ready". You say "Voice", and then follow your cellphone's procedure to dial the voice activated number (ie. "Home" or "Mom" or "Wife", etc)
The dealer had to reprogram the multimedia player pi 0055. Now works like a charm.
Talking to the Service Manger, this is a problem if you have the Keyless Lock/remote. If you lock you car and leave it for a period of time (unknown how long), the Keyless Entry Module continuously looks for the remote and finally drains the battery.
Anyone who has this option could have this problem if you locked your car for days.
Get this done or else you will be SOL. Dead Battery.
My question was why didn't we get notified about this? Why can't OnStar put out this info when they check you car monthly? They have your VIN and they should be able to access the DataBase. I tried to do a Google search for 'Required Field Actions', 'GM Vehicle Inquiry System', etc., and could not find any of these RFAs listed on the Internet.
It would be nice if you could go into the GM Vehicle Inquiry System by VIN and see this. That would allow all of us to ensure that our cars are clean/safe without any problems.
Does anyone know how we could get this done by GM?
Comments/Suggestions?
That explains alot. They did this when I brought it in for an oil change, but I never experienced it.
But then again, I never lock the doors, either...
Baffle and entire exhaust system changed by dealer. Noise and loud sounds now gone. 4700 miles now car running fine.
Onstar not functional after set up. No power to the mirror. Navigation not functional. The rear DVD system only allows a DVD to begin play if in park. Can't change DVD's while driving. This was the option that had use waiting three and a half months. All of which was discovered 20 minutes in to a 12 hour drive from Phoenix to San Francisco.
I'm not really looking for answers or advice, just wanted to [non-permissible content removed]!
Our attempts to run a diagnostic check on your vehicle were unsuccessful. If your dashboard indicator light is on, push your blue OnStar button.
So, I called OnSTar via OnStar in car and they ran the checks. Then turned me over to their Tech department who ran them again. However, the Tech could not tell me why ONStar could not run them even though I had my car out and the engine running. They told me it would take a couple of days to email me the results or see them on the OnStar site.
Anyone else run into this?
Any ideas?
I am from GM Customer Service. The interior that you have in your Lacrosse is leather. Thank you,

I have the White Diamond Tricoat for an outside paint. Does this have a coat of Clear over the top as do the other paints. Is there anything special that should be followed in keeping this paint in top condition and looking great as it does.
I love the car - it is nice to be back in a luxury car at a price that doesn't put one in the poor house. Handling and ride are outstanding as is everything else. Owned many Buicks about 20 and more years ago - but stopped buying them for well known reasons. Happy to be back in a Buick again.
I am glad that you love your new Buick! We don't have any specific products we recommend for the leather. You can also ask your dealership if they have anything they recommend. Putting moisture back into the leather is always a good way to preserve the leather. As far as the White Diamond Tricoat paint, yes there is a top coat over it. There are a lot of different products for keeping paint in good condition. Again, I would recommend talking to your dealership and asking them what they use. Thank you,

Thanks for your replies - appreciated!!!
There are some minuses in design. The post are too big - cuts visibility - sore neck. As does the windows all around. Can understand windows perhaps as a way to cut the amount of sun coming into the car and quietness. The quietness of the car is nothing short of sounding like an electric - no sound. Entertainment package with speakers - outstanding.
The POI's are not as complete as other GPS units I have including one on my Blackberry. But the GPS system itself beats anything else I have used.
I do have a slight delay between pushing the accelerator and the actual pickup when I am already moving. Also when backing up seems to take more petal to get moving - in my case I have an incline when I backup out of the garage and seem to have to push the petal a lot.
But all in all I would give it a 10 out of 10. Absolutely great car.
Thank you for the compliments and the feedback. I will document your suggestions. : ) Thank you,

Thanks for taking the time to listen to our concerns. I have a CXS that I purchased in August of '09. I have close to 7000 miles on it. It is a fantastic car. Hopefully, you won't have too much more to document about these cars except good things.
Thanks, John
Like everyone else who ordered a Lacrosse, I had about a 3 month wait and was in the same dark information hole others have described - clearly an area GM needs to work on.
This is really my first "big boy car" and my first American car in years. I'm still getting used to a car which kind of drives you instead of the other way around. But - it's very luxurious and drives beautifully. I didn't see any Lacrosses sitting around in my dealer's showroom, so I suspect these are in short supply and people may need to order the car they want and be prepared to be very patient or to get very lucky.
It is great that you are here. Let me bend your ear for a couple suggestions.
1. There should be a button to push to open the trunk from the inside of the car. Frequently I am with my wife and I am waiting for her in the car and when she comes laden with bags it would be nice if I could open the trunk for her from inside. I know I have the "keyless" pad but I hang that around my neck and under my clothes - not the easiest place to get to. A women might carry it in her purse which may be in the back seat when she is waiting for someone.
2. The same thing applies to the gasoline fill cover - it should only be opened from the inside by pushing a button. This is a feature that keeps your gas from being stolen.
3. I discovered yesterday while adding names to the Address book that I am limited to the number of voice prompts I can have. This is really irritating - one should be able to have as many "Go To" voice prompts as there are address book entries. This is a safety feature so that when you are on the road you can speak any destination you want.
Maybe others will add some other ideas to this thread or tell us something that we may be missing.
Thanks for listening.
I unfortunately don't have the information about the navigation system. However, we do have a navigation team that can answer your question. Their number is 1-877-NAV-DISC(3472) Hours of Operation: Mon.-Fri. 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM EST. If you have any further questions Ken please let me know. Thank you,

Thank you for the ideas. I will document them and pass them along. We always like to hear the ideas of our customers. It makes us a better company. : )
Have a wonderful day!

On my 2009 (different design I know) the driver's door lock button does double duty -- if you hold it in the unlock position (upwards) for a few seconds it also unlocks the trunk. Did that disappear in the 2010s?
Sometimes I think GM builds in these little annoyances hoping you will eventually trade to move beyond them.
