Default DNX8120 in a 09 C6

I had a DNX-8120 installed in my 08 4LT, C6. I recently traded it in on an 09 2LT. The 08 had OnStar and Bose so I used the GMAH24B interface. The 09 doesn’t have Bose so I was going to buy the GMAH24but the Peripheral web site says the GMAH24 is “Currently not compatible with 2009 vehicles that are equipped with O.E.M. Bluetooth”

Has anyone done an install, in a 09 with Bluetooth? Any issues or success with an aftermarket unit?

Thanks

Since the Bluetooth in the C6 is done in the head unit if you replace it you will lose the factory Bluetooth... so of course it's "incompatible." It will however operate an aftermarket stereo, including the 8120, just fine.

Should I get the GMAH24 interface or do you think the GMAH24B interface will work even though I don't have Bose system?

My *guess* is that the 24B would work just fine but never having done it I can't guarantee it. The "B" version really is for GM cards with the "Premium Bose" system and the C6 isn't setup the same way as those cars.
