So, Has anyone swapped their VCIM for Factory Bluetooth Capabililty??

[felixgun]

Aw he is?
Maybe when you get em I'll just buy em from you

 

[THE YETI]

Ha. He balked. Big order too.

 

[felixgun]

If anyone has one of these laying around PM me so I can buy it from you

 

[THE YETI]

they are only going to get costlier... he is certainly going to up his prices. Snag it complete for $250 shipped while u can!

 

[felixgun]

I need two of them so kind of waiting for the right price if ya know what I mean... : /

 

[THE YETI]

send him a message and buy direct off ebay. Its a legit business. Throw out $425 for both.

 

[felixgun]

I'm not really in a rush to get it... i'm gonna wait until I find the "right price" for one... I can't believe people were getting them at 100 bucks a pop not too long ago...

I hooked one up, works like a charm!
Turns the stereo down and turns the blower fan down too. Very nice mod!

 

[THE YETI]

any details as to how you did it? Just plug n play? Or did you have to call On* and chat with them...

 

[Hammer450R]

I dont use on star so i didnt have to nothing but plug and play, very simple mod.

Success! Got it in last night and it works like the rental 2011 suburban I had. The only thing i don't know about is onstar since i don't use it.

how was the install? and do u have the iphone app now?

 

[mccullionj]

In light of the difficulty in finding a VCIM has anyone tried the aftermarket providers such as Argos ? Just wondering if this is a viable option or if it has to be a VCIM? I'm not concerned about the Onstar since we don't subscribe but would definitely like the bluetooth capabilities

 

[felixgun]

Vcim is just nice because it's factory integration.

VCIM is very easy to find now.

I haven't tried since I figured I needed onstar service for that.

I did try something new last night though. There is something called "voice pass through" which lets you use the voice control on the iphone over Bluetooth. It took 3 commands to get there (onstar>bluetooth>voice) but something cool to know in case my phone isn't within arm's reach.

 

[Hammer450R]

Yeah i use the voice on my droid also...make sure you go through the voice recognition on your phone so it knows your voice better.

Ok, I got my VCIM in today and installed it. Man, why do these things ALWAYs take longer then they should? Getting everything out was no problem, it was getting it back into those damn clips. The wires are also thick and stiff and it was a hell-fo-va time getting everything back in there. I just need to get the list of how to use everything. Also, I had to say Onstar, Bluetooth, pair.

 

[Hammer450R]

Yes you have to pair the phone the first time. And everytime after that you have to say Bluetooth then you can say voice and it uses the voice recognition from the cell phone.

So i would say
1 bluetooth
2 Voice
3 Call Cyndi mobile (Cyndi is an example so don't be calling my wife!)

Or you can also store up to so many numbers on the vcim and just say

Call Cyndi Mobile and it will do it all by itself.
