I was just about to shell out for this when you reminded me I have one of these and it works pretty well, I just need to charge it up. Problem solved.

Check this out. If you can live without OnStar and voice controls for the Nav system, you can have BlueTooth via the OnStar button.

I too have an 08 C6 and was actually surprised it did not have Blutooth. I got one of these Blue Star units and absolutely love it. You do need to give up the On Star, but that isn't a negative to me. The unit is easy to install and quick to program. I have an iPhone and can use all of its functions, including Siri.

Put it in my wife's C6 convertable,it doesn't get any easier or better, sound quality is exceptional. I'd just like to know where those that have it are putting it. No room behind the stiff carpet.

I purchased this one from amazon, it's a blue tooth fm transmitter works pretty well, but want to look into the Costartech device.

Blue tooth was the only item missing from my '08 that I wish I had. I installed the Bluestar and am very happy with it. I had a little trouble with it connecting to my iphone and posted here about it. I was told to email Chris at Bluestar, I did and he fixed my problem the next day.
Very happy with the Bluestar system.

This is a super easy fix if you have XM in your car. You would have to stop using the XM in favor of your bluetooth though. I ended up paying for spotify so I could stream anything I want and have Bluetooth voice control. Cheap and easy install. See link.

Glamis. You can see videos on youtube on how to take apart your console. It is easy once you know how!
After you take apart the console the isimple is extremely easy to install with no modifications. You simply plug it into the back of the radio.
