Onstar bluetooth?

[jrockytop]

I have a 2001 V6 Aurora that I bought last summer that now has just over 100k. I've been fixing it up with the tips on this site (power window motor, throttle position sensor, transmission hardshifts / PCS etc.) Thanks for all of the info!

I was looking into what I could do with the onstar system. I haven't tried to activate it, but I guess it's not available now anyway. But, looking online I found a site that has a bluetooth
plugin for the old onstar system. Does anyone have any experience with it? It's called bluestar: costartech.com/pb/products/bluestar.html

I would probably be interested in getting this hooked up if I knew it would work well in my
2001.

Thanks for any info you have

thats quite expensive little device for bluetooth to be in the car when an ear one would do the same

Get a Motorola HF 850 bluetooth system. It's out of production but still available. I put one into my 2001 4 years ago. It's excellent.
If you have some experience at putting electrical accessories into cars then it's a DIY.

I thought it looked kind of expensive too. That's why I wondered how good it was and if the onstar phone worked better while driving than a headset. I've never liked wearing those bluetooth headsets constantly, so the motorola system looks interesting.

I kind of wish I would have had a chance to try onstar just to see what it was like.

its not that great to be honest with you

I use Bluetooth all the time, its an amazing feature. I have an original Jawbone headset with noise canceling that is amazing. My GPS connects to my phone using bluetooth as well. In all honesty an external, aftermarket system will work a great deal better.
