Has anyone installed U-connect in their 2006 Vette and if so, where did you purchase the unit?

Are you talking about the bluetooth setup from Chrysler? If so I doubt it would be easily retrofitted to a GM.

A number of people have installed the Parrot bluetooth systems. Cruise over to the Audio/Electronics section and do a search on Parrot, there's at least one good write-up there.

U-Connect is a JCI brand like HomeLink and aftermarket kits are not available.

Yes, I was talking about the one from Chrysler. We have it on our 2005 Jeep and love it.

I shall research the Parrot.

Many thanks for the advise..

Unfortunately GM has OnStar, therefore it sees Bluetooth as a competitor. I think the market will force GM's hand here, but as usual they will be very slow to react.

Holy Cow!!
I just read what I would have to do for the install...

We shall continue to use our hand held even though we have OnStar for emergencies.

Thanks to all for the help and advise.
