Hello,

I am about to get a used 07 Escalade and was wondering what everyone on here has put in their Escalades as far as accessories/ toys go.

I have a few things that will be mandatory for me such as the second battery and probably a flip down monitor but I want to hear what you guys have put in yours, pictures would be awesome.

Thanks to everybody on this forum, I have been reading this forum for a long time now and what I have learned from everyone has been invaluable.

Also while I am thinking about it, has anybody here had any experience with the Autopage brand of remote car starters? The reason I ask is they have one that can be controlled via cell phone ( unlimited range ) and that sounds pretty good to me. I think their cell technology is call C3. I don't like the idea of a yearly payment but it is negligible so I would live with it.

Thanks again.

I'd like to do the clear taillights and third brake light, just to make mine different from the "other" ones on the road. Including the stock wheels on the 09 Platinum model if I can find them for a good price. I will probably do the Corsa side exhaust, Volant air box, and PCM re-pro in the future.

I did add a V1 radar detector off the bat with the rear view mount and wire harness that plugs into the back. A nice clean look that looks factory and it turns off and on with the ignition. Weathertech molded mats and window visors were also added.

Fun vehicle to play with, lots of options for you to personalize with accessories.

Where did you mount the V1? Any pictures?

I don't have any pics of mine, but it looks exactly like on their website. Comes with everything you need and the optional wire if you'd like to hard mount it and run it off the ignition that connects to the wiring harness in the rear view mirror. Works really slick and its very easy to mount. http://store.nexternal.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=mgt&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=440715968&Count2=357856392&CategoryID=104&Target=products.asp

I had no idea that everyone has done so many modifications. Can anyone post pics? That is the one thing that this forum needs more of. Maybe a moderator can make the pic thread a sticky.
