bluetooth for C6
one of the things bothering me about getting the c6 now is the lack of bluetooth...
hears the solution
parrot makes the 3200 lcd unit...looks very nice...
from what i have found out is the soundgate gmcell device will act as the interface into the radio system in the vette....
i have the parrot in my fx45 and will be putting one in my new vette...my only concern is the gmcell working correctly...according to soundgate it should work perfectly....
who needs to wait for gm.......lol

it will use the stereo speaker system for speakers....mic will use its own mike....
from what i understand cell will display on the screen and it will auto mute the stereo and onstar and allow the feed from the parrot device...when the parrot completes it will release the connection..

the only thing is if you have onstar then you have to add 2 relays to the install..they document this in the documentation

Does anyone actually have a working Soundgate GMCell unit in their C6? Found a link to Soundgate Here that does not specifically say it's compatible with the Corvette...

the beauty of using the gmcell device (assuming it works...) is that it is the only device that gets interfaced to the radio...you then splice the parrot to the gmcell.... this acts like an aux input feeding the parrot to the gm radio....
the other method that has been previously documented is to go into the native wiring that works with the amplifiers...much more involved in my opinion...
