Nice, revised parking brake release, just what I needed.

Any pictures of the new Silver color for the Escalade?

Don't know why they added the AFM. I had the AFM in my 2007 Silverado LTZ Vortec Max and man it sucked! Truck would vibrate all over. And they are giving the 5.3L engines many problems. And you barely get an increase in your MPGs.

I have AFM in my hybrid and I have had no problems at all. In fact, you do not notice any difference at all.

when will the 2010s be out?

A salesman at a Caddy dealership told me he had to order more '09s because the 2010 wouldn't hit showrooms until January 2010. He said it would be a true 2010 model. I'm not sure this is 100% correct though.

Looks like I'm not going to get a 2010 .. I hate AFM

My dealer told me they will be out late between Nov and Jan, told my dealership to place my order as soon as they can put the 2010's in.

I am sure the Preditor could take care of that problem, or maybe program it to not kick in until 70 mph

Does anyone know if the new 2010 Cad Escalade will be iPod / iPhone freindly? Does it include BT? I currently own a 2007 Cad Escalade and it does not include anything that connect my iPhone to the vehicle. I do have OnStar and also the GM phone service but it's a pain and cost more than my regular cell service.
Thanks

It will with bluetooth. My 09 has it and it works great with my iphone. As far as hooking into the audio for sound or video, you would have to use the USB or audio/video inputs. Not sure how the 2010 usb interface will be. Im assuming just like the other usb gm radios.

Other option is one of lockpick ipod/iphone devices will work.

If you look at the 5th new item for 10' it's a USB connection, the Ipods and Iphone use a USB connection.
