Been reading some posts trying to figure out how easy it would be to have bluetooth function on a 2013 PPV. To clarify, does it have to have onstar, a different module or something, or can I simply install the steering wheel I have with the bluetooth button and enable it?? Thanks

Shoot me a PM with your VIN and I can run it through my GM account and pull up your build to see what you have.

I think you need to install a VCIM module, If my memory serves me correct. However I don't think the wiring harness supports it. I have had my Tahoe for three years now and if it was possible I would have it installed. I tried an aftermarket Bluetooth unit that interfaces with the radio speakers . Piece o crap. I took it out after a week.
Buy a new head unit... increasing the sound quality and adding the Bluetooth at the same time (also add in front and rear cameras). Adding the steering wheel controls to the right won’t add Bluetooth as that’s a “delete item” on many build sheets (was on mine).
I would recommend getting a new steering wheel Do to ease and cosmetic reasons (only about $200) or if on a budget, adding the right side controls to the steering wheel for volume, source select, and calling features. Not worth the time adding a factory GM module thats already 10 year old technology and sounds like crap.
It’s a good idea to get to know your PPV by heading to any GM dealership and having them run your VIN on their “Work Bench” software and print out the build sheet. They did it for free for me and took minutes.
