Default OnStar Bluetooth Replacement Module

I've just bought an 06 coupe and have been looking across the forums for the best bluetooth solution and came across this. It looks like it's a direct replacement for the onstar module that adds bluetooth but utilises the existing onstar mic, speaker and buttons. Looks like a really clean (albeit more expensive option) to a parrott or similar. The link is :

Has anyone got an experience of this unit? or heard of it before? It seems to support all GM cars so i've hoping the vette will work too.

Thanks for the notice on this product. It really looks interesting. The only reason i have OnStar in the Vette is for the cell phone. I also would ask, has anyone tried this thing?

i did some research on the net to find the best solutions for when I collect my 06 from the dealer in a couple of weeks (can't wait by the way) and found it. It looks perfect and scanning through reviews for other GM cars it looks good. I cant find anything else really on this forum hence why I posted, maybe someone else has one.

I would be very interested in hearing how that system works out for you if you purchased it. I always wanted integrated bluetooth with my car but that was one thing I couldn't get with my 08 Vette. This looks like the ideal solution for me, providing it will actually work.
