VCIM Swap for Bluetooth Capability

[jebt2921]

No not at all. There a two or three that are confirmed to be compatible. I don't know the other numbers for sure but you can search around on this forum and they are there somewhere.

So I just called to try and activate a new onstar account with this vcim I put in from a 2010 Buick enclave and they are telling me that I can't activate it because it's says is the wrong vehicle. Should I have just said that it is a Buick enclave and rolled with it?

They are slightly pissing me off right now.

I would recommend just going with whatever vehicle they show it to be.

The ***** were adamant it isn't compatible but this has been done 100 times. Hopefully they didn't take note of my name and the vcim it's supposed to be.

Ha. What a ******. Everything worked fine and it's setup; signal was sent successfully. The others fools said there is no way it would work.

Guess lesson learned...don't be honest with them and say you put a new unit in from another vehicle to avoid paying the $400 to get one tied to your VIN.

I did exactly as you'll had and it appears that when you press the blue onstar button they can see if it is coming from the wrong vehicle or not. That's where I am currently. It activated fine but then they are saying it "deactivated" itself. Could it really be non-compatible or are they really not wanting to activate it?

BTW I bought a 20829984 out of a 2010 Buick Enclave. Bluetooth and everything works perfect as did the activation yesterday. It's almost like they noticed what I did and now won't let it go through...

It could be that vcim,, you should of got a vcim out of tahoe/yukon. Not saying that that is the priblem but I have mine in for a long time now and still works perfect,, they think im in a 2011 suburban (I have 2008 tahoe)

Yeah I'm afraid that might be the issue but I'm perplexed since it activated successfully yesterday.

Oh well. I wasn't ever that interested in subscribing I just wanted to use the app on my phone.
