Hi all,
just wondering what people find to be the easiest upgrades to do to their caddies, I'm probably going to get a startling so wondering where's a good place to start is with upgrades, I'm thinking I definitely want cruise control with the steering wheel controls, but also interest to know how easy air con and heated seats would be to fit. Not interested in lowering or anything like that as it will be a work van.
(easy means relatively quick and relatively cheap )
Thanks!
easy upgrades?

Re: easy upgrades?
If you search this forum you will see what's involved in doing the upgrades you mention.
If you have to have those features and you have just bought a van it would be less of a headache and probably not much cheaper to get a highline or higher spec van instead. Caddy's can be a money pit but then some people have created some truly unique vehicles by embarking on upgrades on the basic vehicles.
Aircon will be a real challenge unless you are really good with retrofitting major systems to cars.
Cruise control and heated seats seems a common upgrade but these sort of things still involve sourcing right generation parts that are compatible with your existing van and coding of the ECU

What year caddy ? Side rail cover is an easy upgrade, makes the car look much better. But not all caddy’s have the bracket for it.

Re: easy upgrades?
The 2016 should have the bracket. It was the earlier models that did not.
