Picking up tomorrow..
Picking up my new car tomorrow... anything to watch out for specifically at the delivery? I already know all the possible issues to look out for but anything else someone can recommend?

Look the car over VERY carefully not only for possible scratches,
but especially any residue glue that was left over from delivery of
the vehicle.
The guys that cleaned my vehicle at the dealership really did a
lousy job on preparing it. I went into a panic a week later when it
seemed paint was chipping off the car. It was actually glue residue.
Also, be sure they activate your XM radio & NAV traffic.

As for finding the sticky residue, try looking underneath each side view mirror, at the very top of the roof near the XM sharkfin, and open the trunk and run your finger along the edge where it meets the rear deck/fender.
If you find any residue in any of these areas, chances are you'll find them in other areas as well as your dealership did not do a good job in removing the goo.
Have your dealer take his/her time explaining how to use things. If possible, try to set up some of your personal options at the dealership, especially mating of the keys to each driver. Remember, the quick start and manual instructions are incorrect - I'm cant remember 100%, but it has to do with the two flashes on the key fob is reversed in the directions.
Ask to see if the TSB for the XM bug has been fixed. If not, you'll be back eventually for this fix.
Oh, Congrats!
