FS: OEM onstar Bluetooth module

[felixgun]

Does this come with the bluetooth adaptor that attached onto the VCIM?

Yea how does this install? I would get one for my Hoe just to make calls with it.

It goes behind the dash by the AC controls and under the nav unit.

Really? For less than $10 I went to Radio Shack and bought a short cable that plugs into the aux jack in the radio and the other end ford into my phone. It gives me more features. Phone calls go through radio speakers, plus I can play music and get gps navigation. It works so well that I did the same for my wife's car. Now, we both have T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide phones. They have a Car Mode app and a genius button. Anytime I get a call or need to listen to a text message it lets me use voice commands to answer calls, respond to text messages, play specific songs, etc. In my opinion, GM wasted their money on making this option when a simple cable, which they do offer through GM Accessories, does the same thing and more.

Yea but this is OEM with no signs of any cables or anything and it also reads out through the DIC.

Not everyone carries a $200+ smart phone. I know what you mean though. Girlfriend and I use cables, her parents use the factory bluetooth with their flip phones.

Felix I meant more of how does it install cable wise. Does it have an adapter cord or what?

The bluetooth adaptor plugs in directly into the 09+ VCIM's. You already have a VCIM so if you did this bluetooth mod you would be replacing your whole VCIM module along with a bluetooth adaptor that plugs into that. Your stock harness plugs into the new VCIM since you already had one there prior. If you look at the pics on this ebay auction, you can see the VCIM separate from the BT adaptor (which also comes with it in this particular auction). You will see other VCIM's on eBay that would be compatible but don't come with the BT adaptor. You can also buy this BT adaptor separately.

Through the DIC? That's something different. Benefit sales ftw. The aux cable definitely doesn't do that.

Yep... the benefits of doing an OEM install. I originally bought a BlueFusion unit for bluetooth calls AND music (which this VCIM mod does not do) but it made everything sound really bad since I had a GMX550 LockPick installed so I took it out. I'm eventually going to get one of these VCIM modules for bluetooth calls.
