Ray makes great harnesses that plug and play into the C6 XM radio unit. You can use his harness to connect a bluetooth reciever. The main problem is powering the bluetooth reciever as most of them are battery powered.
Ray can help you out as he has lots of suggestions and stuff for sale to help complete the project. I bought the cable from him that allows you to play through XM. I then purchased a Bluetooth receiver and a patch cable to go from Rays cable to the BT receiver. I hard wired the BT to an ignition switched fuse with a jumper. Works great for me.
Upgrade the radio in the car to one that has bluetooth, and the features that you want in bluetooth and the phone you will be using.
Hence for the most part, bluetoothing into the stock OEM radio with a phone is lacking in every way.
I get it... The aftermarket units have a lot of functionality and you can add a backup or front camera. They just don't look right to me though. Theres something about that mid 2000's GM electronics charm... I like when you turn the radio off it and it just displays the Corvette logo

there Dano, going with a good new aftermarket system is by far the best way to go as far as up to date features and functionality and improved sound quality, but it can get expensive depending on the system you get when alls said and done, I probably have over $2500 in mine so far and I'm not done yet, but to me it's well worth the money. But those wanting a cheaper alternative and don't want the hassle or expense of replacing their stock system http://www.kawal.net/vettemods.htm is the way to go

A nice thing about some of the new systems is that you can customize the screens however you like, here's some examples others have done. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ds-thread.html Here's a couple pictures of some of the screens I made for mine, you're only limited by your imagination.
