Adding bluetooth.

[zach2011]

Sounds good. Give them a full business day to email you...I remember when I ordered my spoiler, it was replaced with a newer part number, but they didn't tell me that until the day after I ordered...meaning I had to place a whole new order.

I'll keep searching, maybe someone has posted where this thing is located.

Arrrrrr!!

Just as I suspected. Got the email today saying that I can't order it but rather have to work with the dealer which won't do it unless it needs replaced or repaired.

 

[zach2011]

I might be able to get it down at my parts department. Everyone at the dealership knows my dad, so they're all really nice to me, plus he gets a 30% discount on parts.

I'll ask on Friday and if they can get it then you can order one through me and I'll send it to you, if you want.

Even if you get it now you won't have much luck since apparently OnStar is not activating the units since it won't match the vehicle VIN. The dealer can program it to work in the vehicle and the bluetooth will work but you won't have OnStar functions since OnStar won't activate.

I had a good friend of mine that's in the parts dept. try and this is what he got:

Only way they can order it is theft, fire or damage of some kind. And it's something they have to contact corporate about and provide insurance paperwork and proof...yadda yadda yadda...so yeah...junkyard is your best bet.

This being the case, I'm thinking about going with BlueStar which is plug and play, gives you complete bluetooth functionality however you'll lose OnStar.

 

[zach2011]

Eh. I'm picking OnStar over Bluetooth. I might go with an aftermarket like Modded suggested, where it works WITH Onstar and see if it's a good $150 value.

I grabbed this from another forum
Looks like someone in the Gm-Trucks forum has figured it out. I haven't tried this, but it looks promising....

I added blue tooth from an 09 to my 07. can get you the factory gm parts to add it to your gmt900 trucks. my cost at the dealer ship with the vcim, bluetooth antenna, and new buttons for the steering wheel with phone pictures on them is about $300.00 and it will have to be programmed. then it will work just like factory 09. all you need to have is factory onstar and steering wheel controls.
here are the parts you need to add factory bluetooth to your 07 or 08, sierra silverado, yukon, yukon xl, tahoe, suburban, acadia, and enclave.

vcim # 20783877
antenna # 15938939
steering wheel switch # 25851951

As the original post suggests, I priced the parts from http://www.gmpartscheap.com/

vcim # 20783877 - $263.64
antenna # 15938939 - $29.72
steering wheel switch # 25851951 - $27.86

No idea on shipping costs.

I want to upgrade my 2007 yukon xl bosse nav onstar with Bluetooth and hope it is this easy.

 

[zach2011]

In 99% of cases when you do that, you lose OnStar. Dealers have a hard time getting that functionality back when you add those new modules to a pre-2009 truck.

from what I can tell you are buying an Onstar module with blue tooth built into the onstar module

I am wondering are all the onstar modules the same?

 

[zach2011]

It is, but the OnStar service won't work on the new module since your VIN was assigned to an older one.

 

[coxwain]

So can I get any onstar module with blue tooth and it. Will work? Also, can the dealer program the vin or does it need to be ordered like that with the vin programmed when it's new?

What about stearing control, do you need them or will the 2007 xl steering nav system be able to control it

I am seeing used onstar modules on eBay for $100 but don't reflect those part numbers. Stated in my last post. Are all the modules the same foot print and interchangeable?
I called the dealer and they wanted $400 for the part I noted above

it won't be bad not to have onstar. Bluetooth I need and prefeer this over parot 9200i

I found this product
it replaces the onstar unit
it looses voice controls on the nav. Which I have

can the onstar unit from eBay be programmed with your vin when they are used for an 07 Yukon xl?

This module doesnt affect onstar

 

[coxwain]

Does anyone know if these would work in an 2007 yukon?
I dont see why not?

onstar module from suburban 2009,
There are also CTS onstar modules as well, they should work?

 

[zach2011]

The Suburban one will work just fine, you just won't have OnStar services. The green mirror light will change to red. But the emergency button will still work regardless.

25984445 is without bluetooth, the 25984444 is with bluetooth, still hard to find

 

[zach2011]

Be sure that part is not for the 2010+ models, because when ordering from the dealer or parts websites, they will not allow you to purchase it. I don't know why...but that is why my order never went through. I now use integrated Bluetooth from my PXAMG.

 

[coxwain]

How does pxamg work? Do you retain xm nav voice recogniition and on star

also what components do you need and how much

 

[zach2011]

Yes, it retains all of that. It was a fairly easy install, you take the nav out and plug this new harness into it and the OEM harness into the other end of the new harness. Then one cable of the new harness goes to the PXAMG which is a central device that you can install behind/inside the glovebox. It has 2 inputs, which can be either HD Radio, Bluetooth, or iPod. I chose Bluetooth and iPod.

My iPod cord runs from my Denali center console (cupholder area) back to the PXAMG. The Bluetooth kit comes with a little box that you also mount with the PXAMG, and then it has a microphone that you can place pretty much anywhere in the vehicle. Mine is hidden in the headliner.


Overall, it is a very clean and factory-like install. You get to control all of it with your steering wheel controls or radio controls. I love it.

 

[coxwain]

so what items do you need to order for a 2007 yukon xl NAV Bosse?

does it now use the factory mic? I have to add a mic somewhere?

 

[zach2011]

I ordered the PXAMG, PGHGM1 harness, ISBT21 Bluetooth device, HD Radio tuner, and the iPod cable. I thought it had 3 ports, but it had 2 so I had to return the HD Radio tuner.

It does not use the factory mic, but you can do what I did and hide it and no one will ever know the difference. It works just like factory anyways.

 

[coxwain]

I am interested in bluetooth iPod intigration right now

i don't think HD is big in Canada yet

it seems the onstar bt is a easy alternative if you can get a unit
I also own 2009 Saab with onstar but not bt
I wonder if I upgrade that module and put in Yukon if I would be okay?

Very easy to change in saaab as they are in the trunk
