My Cheap BlueTooth Solution!
I have an '06 base C6 3LT which has nav and XM but no Bluetooth. The previous owner installed the aux input mod so I was able to pug in my iPhone to play Pandora but no hands free phone capability. My company just supplied us with new iPhone 6's which don't have an aux jack but an adaptor can be purchased. I was ready to buy one and then thought that it would be nice to have Bluetooth too.
Long story short I ended up buying this great Simple brand Bluetooth adaptor at Best Buy that plugs into a cigarette lighter and the aux jack for under $45! It's plug and play and fits nicely into the center console. Only thing is the cig plug is hot all the time so I'll need to change the wiring to an ignition on source. Anyway, it works great and now I don't have to worry about getting a cellphone ticket from the Popo!

Search forum member Ray Kawal. He has a jumper fuse so the cig lighter turns off with the car. Works perfectly with my set up (similar to yours except Kinovo)

Thanks for the tips! This is what I did. I bought an add-a-circuit adaptor from Advanced auto for $7. I removed the wiper washer fuse which works only with ignition on and added the add-a-circuit to the socket. I removed the aux power fuse and installed the pigtail wire with a single crimp on the end into the non power socket. This feeds ignition on power from the wiper/washer fuse to the aux power socket in the console. Works great!
