Thanks for the response. I appreciate your ability to grasp the situation. I really have no issue with the nav/stereo that is in it. It sounds good to me - keep in mind I am an older guy who can remember a kickass car stereo system was one that had an FM converter and a pair of Sparkomatic speakers cut into the front door panels. Really, if I can't get the bluetooth thing figured out, no big deal. But, it would be nice to have it working. So that's why I posted about it.
Yeah, I am not getting the "Ready" after pushing the button on the steering wheel. I messed around with it a little yesterday when the wife and I were out and it seemed as though the steering wheel button is not even working now. After pressing it, it did not cut out the stereo sound while waiting for a voice command. I could get the button on the head unit to work, but it still does not recognize any command nor does it give me the "Ready" response. So in addition to the bluetooth module being a potential issue, looks like the steering wheel button may need some attention.
I have a GS convertible, so my battery is under the hood, not in the back. By reading what you posted, my bluetooth module should be in the back where the coupes have the battery?

After that, I'd check the footwell area where the fuses are on the passenger side. Last spot would be under passenger seat. It will look like a fairly large metal box. I'm almost positive they moved it in 2010 to the footwell area for the Z06. If you don't see if in the other two spots, it will be under the seat. Unfortunately, this is the most complicated to check because you will likely need to remove the passenger seat. It's why I haven't done the retrofit yet. That and I doubt people would be able to hear me anyways over my HCIE setup, haha.
It's unlikely that any of these connections are loose, but it's worth a check since you don't get the 'Ready' command. Mine just cuts out the stereo and doesn't say 'Ready' because I don't have the module hooked up.

Check the right rear cubby. It would be behind the carpeting. Easy enough to pull back and pop back into place.
