Successful Retrofit of Bluetooth to 2007 c6 Corvette
 

That is good news since I also have a 2007 and already added a 2012 Nav (and center console). You say a 2007+ clock spring? Does that mean you just kept using your original clock spring? Thanks!

Hi. Yes, I used my original clock spring. I was lucky to have had the newer revised clock spring already installed in my car. I read that GM had made a clock spring revision. The older clock spring was from 2005 - 2007 ish. In earlier produced 2007 model Corvettes, they may have had the older clock spring installed.

Thanks for the good info.

Good to know! I was thinking it might work with pre-2009 cars --- good job stepping up and trying it!
:thumbs:

I also want to thank Kent and Ray as their information allowed me to add the Nav, console, AUX Jack and factory Bluetooth

Glad my posts helped

Awesome job! I know I'll soon follow your footsteps! I know the challenges you faced but you pushed through! Great job!

I wonder if you still need the on star module of you've changed out the radio to aftermarket and running a programmable steering wheel control module with it

I was wondering if you can use a 2009 system with Bluetooth or does it have to be 2011 or newer, I have found a 2009 with Bluetooth, I was told it did.

Thanks

What system are you talking about, the onstar VCM or your head unit

The Bluetooth is in the onstar unit so any VCM that has blue tooth will work , the only issue is if you use Onstar they will think that your car is the donor car as there is no way to change it in their system

There are a few guys that can reprogram it to your car but for me it was not worth it

I was lucky and found one that was out of a red 2011 coupe ..what's the chances of that happening lol lol

Thank you. I am soooo glad it worked out. I hope it works out for other forumners (is that a word?) also....

Hi. If you changed out the OEM radio to aftermarket, then you probably have bluetooth capability in the radio. Therefore, you won't, or shouldn't, need the OEM OnStar module to make hands-free phone calls. I wanted complete OEM parts, primarily because I wanted to keep my HUD functional, and I like the idea of full integration, so therefore I needed the module.

:iagree:

Thank you. Let me know when I can be of service to you. I'm always glad to help out fellow Corvette enthusiasts. My motto is to always pay it forward. When information is gained, it should be shared, not sat upon....

Your welcomed....

:iagree:

Can you provide what your total cost came to in adding the integrated OEM BT functionality? I too have an 07 and have slightly lamented that it doesn't have BT.... but frankly, when I'm driving, talking on the phone is one of the last things on my mind. I would like to play my music from smartphone though.

So knowing approximately what your cost came to would be helpful in making a decision on moving fwd... or just enjoying the rig "as-is" with the Sirius/XM radio.

Dave, I have a 07 with navigation and onstar and want to be able to stream my music through the radio, I found a 09 radio and was told it has blue tooth, just wondered if I swap the radios will I be able to do this.

I don't use the onstar.

Thanks

Where is the bluetooth symbol on the stock unit, the one I'm looking at looks the same as mine, not sure it only shows up when powered up.

Thanks
