Dennis at Double D Mods, a forum vendor, is the go-to guy for Corvette aftermarket audio. He will provide you the head unit prewired to make it a plug and play install. Removal and re installation is fairly easy. Heck I did it to my 2008. I even added a backup camera.

I did this in my 08. Check this post:

You will need an 09+ radio like it says it step 4. I didn't have nav on my 3LT so I got a 2011+ nav along with a 2011+ center console so I could get the USB/AUX ports as well.
I think this is the best solution because nothing will integrate better with the speakers than this. I would be glad to help if you have any questions.

I purchased a i-931 bt interface. Works great plug and play. Mic is mounted on a pillar not even noticeable and streams bt music from phone. Also has a USB charge/input I modified to fit the center console. Was maybe 100? Took about 2hrs.

Another option is to add this Bluetooth plug in device. Installed one in my 05 Coupe last year and it works great. It uses the onstar microphone, integrates with your sound system and uses the Onstar controls on the mirror to operate it. Installation took all of 5 minutes.Costar Technologies BlueStar for GM Vehicles

Bluetooth in '08
I sidestepped all the installation issues and just bought a Jabra Freeway wireless bluetooth speaker. It clamps to my visor, has a battery that goes 45 days on a single charge. When the phone rings I just say "answer" and start talking. Great sound.
