Default Bluetooth for C6 without aux input

My C6 is an 05 still equipped with the factory Boss radio (XM) system and I would like to be able to use my Smartphone to play music and stream music from the web such as Pandora. I've read many post about this subject and all that has done is confuse me even more. I'm sure someone out there has done this already and I just need some advice. I'm not real critical about the quality of the sound, I've been listening to XM since I got the car and I have no problem with the sound so I don't need to go overboard with a costly upgrade. Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.

Thanks for the link. I've already gone to that site and it looks good but I'm looking for someone who has already done this to their vehicle who did not have an aux jack to see how difficult the task is. Although I can turn a wrench or two I'm not very comfortable with tearing the console apart to get to the radio only to find out that it won't work.

Dennis probably wouldn't be selling them if they didn't work. The radio removal isn't that bad, check out a good video of a C6 shifter install HERE, it's pretty much the same only you need to pull the radio instead of the shifter. If you're up for the drive I can do the install in under two hours if we can both find a good day.

I will look at the link you sent when I get home from work today to see if it is something I want to tackle or not. If not, I may just take you up on your offer. I do plan on attending this years Corvette display in Myrtle Beach so that may be a good time. I'll keep in touch and I really appreciate the offer. Man, this forum is great. What a tool to have at your disposal.
