INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW
Your vehicle has an onboard computer that controls the engine and transmission. The JET programmer reprograms your factory computer according to your specifications with JET Performance Products Tuning.

Next, turn the ignition key to RUN but do not start the engine. It will then identify your vehicle and ask a series of questions on its LCD screen.

2003-04 Cadillac CTS Upper Grille Installation Instructions

Step 1: Remove factory grille shell. First, remove the four plastic screws located on top of the shell (two in the front & two on top). Then remove the four plastic screws located on the bottom (directly behind the grille shell). The bottom screws are much harder to remove as you have limited access to them. You can snap them out which will render them useless for future use, or you can take your time and slowly work (shimmy) them out using a flat head screwdriver.
Note: If you intend to install the grille shell back on to the vehicle you will need the plastic screws to do so. If they are broken when removing the factory shell you will need to purchase new plastic screws from the dealership.
Step 2: Tape over the grille opening to protect finish (see figure 1 & 2). Next, using the necessary cutting tool (die grinder, air/pneumatic saw, jigsaw) carefully cut the plastic guides from the grille (see figures 2, 3 & 4). Do not cut into the exposed portion of the front end.
Step3: Now file down rough spots until smooth (see figures 5 & 6). Once finished you will have a nice smooth surface, which will allow the billet grille to rest unobstructed in the freshly trimmed opening (see figure 7).
Step 4: Fit the grille insert into the trimmed opening, attach the two extension brackets to the top two brackets (left & right) using the 10-24 x 1” cap screws and k-lock nuts provided, then attach the two bottom extension brackets using the 10-24 x 1” cap screws and k-lock nuts. Before tightening be sure that you have the proper distance needed for a precise fit.

Cadillac CTS Installation Modification

The Cadillac CTS left channel audio is wired differently than all other vehicles compatible with the SIR-GM1. The left channel audio and ground wires are switched which can cause phasing and noise problems. To correct this, a simple modification must be made to the factory SDAR interface harness included with the SIR-GM1.

Cadillac CTS-V Rear Suspension Snubber Installation Manual

Step 1. Jacking & Support of Car
Note: If you are using an automotive lift, parts a & b may be skipped.
a). To raise the front of the car, (depending on the jack you use) you may need to initially raise the car from the side (using the secondary jack) to gain clearance for the hydraulic jack at the front of the car. Once this is done, support the car with the jack stands located on the frames cross member as shown in Figure 1.
b). With the front of the car supported, now raise the rear of the car. This is done with the jack positioned from the side of the car. The jacking point will be the rear axle or differential housing. Once the rear of the car is in the air, supoport it with the other two jack stands, on the car’s subframe as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3. You may wish to place a block of wood between the jack stand and subframe to avoid any scatches.
