I love my XLR, BUT.....
There are two things that frustrate me: 1. Nav performance and 2. voice recognition. I have complained on this forum before about the VR. Also there is much chatter on the STS forum on the same subject (with one message indicating that Cadillac is aware of the issue and working on it).
The poor performance of the nav system is almost unbelieveable. Unbelievable in the sense that Cadillac would allow such poor quality. Why they selected a virtual unknown to supply the database is confusing (NAVTEQ is the undisputed leader in this business, but GM selected Denso).
There are many, many examples of the nav system plotting a route that 1. includes going down one-way streets the wrong way (and these are not 'new' one-way streets either), 2. showing the address on the wrong side of the street (in fact on a major highway ALL of the addresses are on the wrong side of the street!), and 3. not correctly plotting the most direct route to an address.
NAVTEQ offers a website where users can report the 'bugs'. There is no such website offered by Denso.
I have mentioned this to my dealer who shakes their head in disbelief but who encourages me to contact Cadillac through their website (see the message in the general forum about that service!). I sometimes get the feeling that Cadillac is not interested in how their toys work - only that they have included them so as to be competitive in the luxuary market.
Ugh! :crazy
