As a 72 year old female this is a new car for me, thanks to Bambi...I had a 2001 Lexus RX 300 since 2001 and was devastated to have to relinquish that, but purchased this car and was so lost with the options and I could not figure them out..I have no young tech savvy people to help but someone said go to you tube so....I found this video THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!! I was in tears because I now know where and how to use my options. ❤️❤️❤️
That’s exactly why I made these! Glad they help, and enjoy being apart of the Cadillac family. Let me know if you have any questions, I’m always here to help!
@@joefabiano10 Just bought a 2015 SRX I didn;t see where you showed this red light on the dash above the speed odomer like by the windsheld that goes off when driving can't figuer out why only happens ever so often also my chane engen oil soon but oil seems fine I think they forgot to reset it
Thanks for this video! I just got a 2011 SRX with 114K miles...it's only the base model, without a lot of Cadillac's bells and whistles, but it drives live a dream!
newerafrican hahahaha I'm glad it helped. Any Caddy questions let me know. Make sure you get the My Cadillac app, where you can remote start it from your phone!
Simply awesome tutorial Joe! We learned more about our new-to-us SRX with your video than the dealership over here on the east coast we bought the car from. Keep rockin it Joe!
Ernie Ceniza you have some cool extra features that are different from this model. Accessing Siri on iPhones or the Google bar on android from the steering wheel is one of my favorites!! Let me know if you have additional questions!!!
I have a 2010 sport premium it’s got so many features the family that previously owned it gave it away because it started having problems the 3.0 V6 had fewer engine problems than the later 3.6 such timing chain issues this one has stretched chain problems the shocks need replacement and control arms and tie roads no one could get it to start I figured it out via RUclips and Cadillac forums I got a thirty something thousand dollar truck all because the AC pressure switch on the 5 volt reference circuit made it run bad 😂
Joe, this was very helpful, we just purchased the 2015 SRX. How much would it be to install the NAV system, ours is only equipped with the on star NAV system? no maps.
Very informative video. Just bought a 2013 srx. One thing when I hit navigation it only shows a compass. Dealer said I have to buy a cd? And install it somewhere in the glovebox? Any info on that? Thanks
Samuel Colbert I hate to say it, but last time I researched this you can’t just add a CD to get Nav. That’s prior body style up to 2012. If that dealer said something that wasn’t true I would go back and hold them accountable to finding a solution. Good luck!
My 2013 Cadillac SRX doesn't have the option to set up the digital odometer in the middle display. I noticed that you have way more selections than I do. Do I have to have my Cadillac Cue system on the home screen in order to get the additional options?
Spare tire was an option, otherwise an inflator kit. I have a part 2 of this video. Check my channel. Otherwise same name, I believe, but with PT 2 at the end.
+LADYLONGNAILZ I'm sure you got it taken care of by now, sorry it took so long. One trick is to take off one of your battery cables for 15 minutes and it will reset the system. If that doesn't work remember you have a 4 year or 50k mile warranty and have the nearest Cadillac dealer make sure you are taken care of. Have a great day!
Angie C 2013’s are fine that’s what I have, but if you can afford 2014 or newer, the Cadillac Cue (Touch Screen) had some upgrades in the speed/ reaction time. If you got questions feel free to reach out. I can go over some more details with you too. Good Luck!! Joey Fabiano Cadillac Sales Manager 651-464-1400
Hey, Joe, I want to buy a used 2014 SRX for school, but I'm confused about the trim of these cars, could you please tell me the difference among the 2014 SRX base model, performance collection, premium collection and the luxury collection? Thank you. :)
独步寻梅 I would recommend a luxury or higher. The luxury you will Start seeing navigation, heated seats, and safety package more often. Performance and Premium models you will start seeing the 20 inch wheels, adaptive cruise control, ventilated seats, Etc. Go to the www.forestlake-cadillac.com and you can contact me for more questions.
Hi Joe, Just got a 2013 SRX base model and noticed the normal headlight is quite dim compared to High Beam which js perfect...is this normal ? ( the lights are not foggy) ......secondly I wanna buy a backup Camera (some aftermarket) ...is it an easy DIY thing to install...if you could suggest a good camera which displays on the CUE system and is easily configurable...thanks in advance...
Yes, if you don’t have the intelli-beam headlights they are very dim. I know people do swap out for LED. The backup camera is something I want to do too. I haven’t met anyone who’s attempted it. My advice would be worthless, if I gave you an opinion. Hopefully it’s just an easy swap, plug and play.
@@joefabiano10 thanks man. Do let me know if you get any success with the backup Cam...I will let you know if I get do that before you...thanks and Happy holidays
I noticed you did not say anything about the sxr has a major design flaw. The sunroof will drain in to the spare tire space. Which will ruin the electrical systems.
It’s a flaw with many sunroofs. It’s typically a plugged drain hole due to debris. These are product knowledge videos for help with features, not help with common issues or flaws.
I have a new to me in 2013 SRX and it used to have OnStar and I see the option for that is in the center screen (not functional) but how do I change that out so it can notify me of text messages instead? I see the icon for text messages in your video but I don’t have that option on my screen.
I don’t think messages were incorporated until 2015 or newer. I use the “Hey Siri” option on my 2013 and ask her to read my messages. To be honest, it works 100 times better. Google has the “Ok Google” option.
Timing chains was common with old generations. I’ve personally never had an issue though. I’ve had the 3.0L and 3.6L. Just do your routine maintenance!
@@malafakhruddin8091 not really, I’ve had really good experiences with my Caddy’s. I’ve owned 2004, 2006, 2012, 2013, and a 2021. All very different and been very reliable. I’ve put about 100k miles on each one too. 2013 or newer SRX had some frequent electric nuances.
That's a straight-out lie that "If you don't have the fog lights, don't worry; the regular light are bright enough..." It's a well known fact that the low beam headlamps get very dim over time and it's very hard to see anything driving at night.
Yeah, there were a few years where the lights weren’t as bright as some of these LED or HID on the market. Pretty easy swap. The intelli-beam lights were an option or standard on the top trims. They were nice.
@@joefabiano10 thanks a lot for your quick reply. I just got 2015 SRX one week ago. Immediately I found it is dangerous to drive it at night because the headlights are too dim. Would you pls advise what to do with those headlights? I am a woman, and don’t know anything about the cars. Thank you soooo much for your help.
@@popopopo5339 I would first find out if you have the standard lights or the intelli-beam headlight. Any Cadillac dealer can run a build sheet and confirm. Then I would buy the LED conversion kit. Major improvement at night. Very affordable too.
shane walsh absolutely not , if you drive a Cadillac you'll see how smooth, silent and comfortable it is , plus all the features as sensors , wide rooftop , the seats adjustment are incredible , I own a SRX and wouldn't change it at all , the equinox doesn't come even close and it's very noisy with a rough drive , not comfortable at all .
yall I'm torn between this color and a black 2016 model.....this color has the panoramic sunroof, the black is much more classy but no sunroof :( does a sunroof really matter? I have two days to decide
Lots of people like the pano roof for resale, but lots of people also never open the sunroof. Sunroofs can leak usually because of a plugged drain hole. Easy to fix though. My advice is get something that you truly like. Save the after regret of I wish I would’ve done this or that!
That said average fuel economy 7.2 miles to the gallon I can't imagine that being right if it is there had to be a problem I'm looking at one of these but hell no way I'll buy it at 7.2 miles to the gallon
lost94133 It’s common on the lot. Especially in Minnesota for snow days they sit at idle a lot. Typically the SRX should average around 20-22 MPG with AWD highway and city combined.
I know and i love it. I bought one and i had a bunch of people compliment my car, they dont know they see caddilac and think awwe shit. But for real they ride pretty great!
I paid $29,000 for mine. In 2018. Mine is the performance model. Then we were looking on those car websites, seeing them for $14,000. I think there was 1 for $9,000. But I'm sure you get what you pay for. I've had mine for 2 years. I love it!!
The reason the prices are so low because they develop numerous problems later such as stretched timing chains crank sensor rear hatch module failure and water backing up into the interior because of the clogged roof drains so many people decided not to keep them and dumped them
