Default 2005 C6 Handsfree

Do the 2005 C6 cars equipped with the hands free cell phone option?

The car does have the onstar option but I don't know if I can link my cell phone to the car.

I have an '05. Not that I'm aware of. I have a Motorola Bluetooth 'Roadster' hands free attached to the visor. Works very well.

I have an 08 without bluetooth. If you have xm you can buy iSimple and get bluetooth. I installed it in my car and love it. I'm able to talk via BT and stream music from my iphone straight through the stock headunit.

My '05 and wife's '07 also have iSimple and stream itunes from my iphone, but I wasn't aware that we could use it to talk hands free. Any instructions on how that is accomplished?

Default Hands free

I have a 2005 Coupe with ONSTAR it has "hands free" Sat phone. I got 100 minutes with the free 3 month coupon I got from the selling dealer. It is the left most button on the rear view mirror. I think it is in the owners manual? Just push the button and tell it to dial and give it the number. Mine has it's own phone number also for inbound calls.

Is this isimple a third party company or something that I go through XM to purchase? Would you have a link to more information?

You can Google iSimple; XM doesn't sell it. Better yet, just go to a competent radio installer who will get it and install it for you.
