Hey ZX, Do you know if owners of 07/08 Tahoes will be able integrate bluetooth into their current vehicles? Would it be able to be added by the dealer after 2009's come out?

There is talk of an accessory kit but no official word yet.

Awesome sauce!!

Thanks for posting the info ZX!

Just out of curiosity, how will the side blind zone alert system notify the driver in the Tahoe? Will there be a visual notification in the side view mirror or an audible tone in the cabin or both?

For those who are curious, here is an article that I scrounged up on the interweb clicky

The alert will be in the form of a light illuminated within the side mirror glass, when you turn the directional signals the light will then turn amber and flash.

The lane departure alert on the Buick will really annoy those folks who never use turn signals.

Do you know if you will be able to get the cooled seats in our early year models?

I don't think it's a lane departure warning system but a warning once you put turn signal on that someone is there.

These new features sound great. Almost makes me want to trade in the '07 Tahoe next year.

They're just like what we already have on my wife's Audi Q7. In that vehicle, the side mirror has a light that glows if there's a car to the side of you, and if you turn on the blinker at that point, then it flashes really bright red. I nearly have to swallow my heart and lungs everytime that darn thing flashes. I wouldn't get rid of it though, 'cuz it's saved me a couple of times.
