Re: The "Mythical" Olds Aurora Navigation System

Another question, I noticed that a class 2 data connection is required to make the navigation unit from the Aurora work, Does the Park Avenue use the class 2 data? I know GM started it from 2000 on, but I am noticing after doing a little google searching that the Park Avenue has a mention of the ...

Re: The "Mythical" Olds Aurora Navigation System

I picked up a new set of buttons for my Aurora Nav unit off Rive Electronics. They don't list anything for the Aurora, but the buttons are the same as the 02-04 GM INR Radios.

you basically have to tell them you have a 2003 Nav Radio out of a GM Truck, The cost for the buttons is around $115 ...

Re: The "Mythical" Olds Aurora Navigation System

1.)I got a kick out of the low coolant light as well, pretty standard for a Northstar lol

2.)I saw that the plugs are different from the Aurora to the Park Avenue, Im hoping to use the stock pig tail from the Aurora unit and make an adapter to go to the factory Park Ave plug, my father has a ...

The "Mythical" Olds Aurora Navigation System

So I recently purchased the rare navigation system from a 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora, as a summer project I am going to attempt to install it in my 1997 Buick Park Avenue. I know all the mounting locations are in the same place, my only issue is that the wiring harness connecter is different.
Can I ...

Re: Brake Pulse

Yes, actually the most recent time I did the rotors I replaced both wheel hubs. However I did find the problem this afternoon. The drivers side caliper appeared to functioning correctly on the vehicle but once removed noticed it still was holding some pressure and was warping the rotors.

Brake Pulse

Good Afternoon guys,
I seem to be having a constant problem with my 1997 Park Ave, I replaced the front brake pads and rotors about a year ago at the GM dealer and kept getting a slight wobbling feeling when I came to a stop. I then replaced the rear pads and rotors as I figured that would help, it ...

Michelin Primacy MXV4

Just got new tires put on my 1997 Park Avenue and I had to share how much of a difference they made. The car is so much smoother and handles bumps just like my Cadillac used to, totally worth the $700+ for anybody looking for a nice smooth ride. So much better than the old Goodyear Eagle LSs I had ...

Re: P1441 code?

Thanks guys, I have figured it out I swapped two vacuum lines when I did the UIM and LIM and then I turned the service engine light off. Drove 400 miles this weekend and it never came on. Thanks again for the tip on the vac lines.

Re: climate control. only driver side blows hot or cold. ???

Sounds like a actuator.Try unplugging the battery for about 15 mins and then reconnecting it. If that fixes the problem it will only work temporarily but it will reset the actuator that's getting hung up long enough for you to determine that's the problem. My car did the same thing I used to reset ...

Factory Navigation?

What factory navigation will fit in the 1997-2005 Park Ave's. I am hoping to pull the dash on my PA this weekend to install the HUD and I figured I might as well go ahead with the navigation mod most do to the Bonneville while the dash is already out.

Is It Possible to Add HUD?

I was wandering the local salvage yard the other weekend and found a Park Avenue with the identical color interior to mine but it had the HUD. Can I add that to my Park Ave, and if so what do I need to remove from that car?

I would find a pointless dent repair guy and smooth what you can and touch up what you can. I'm considering getting the front bumper painted and maybe the hood. My car is kinda like yours where it's mechanically in great shape but has some minor cosmetic issues

I tried that route but because the ...

As most of you know I have a 1997 Buick Park Ave, I purchased the car about a year ago and did a ton of work mechanically to the car (not me personally, but the GM dealer) but the paint it very badly cracking and it has a couple of dings and dents from being in the NY-NJ area. In order to repair the ...
