Bluetooth install

[spider1701]

I can answer that, you will have to find one from a junk yard (used). The 08 and 09's (not including 09.5's) do not have bluetooth in the vcim (Onstar unit as you described).

Thanks,
I was just reading the other threads on this topic here and the other board and answered that question. Now we just need to hear from GTPprix how much and when he will have it available. Appreciate your help.

Sent my units off to Chris (GTPprix) to have them reprogrammed. Just and FYI, if anyone is ever thinking of running their vehicle without the VCIM installed (your in the middle of the installation and get the urge to run to the store for a grape soda, etc.), don't do it. I tried that in my truck (07 Sierra) cuz I was too lazy to put the old VCIM back in last night and I got Brake, ABS, and Stablility lights on this morning when I went to work. The second trip got a Check Engine light as well. Put the old one back on, all the lights are gone except the Check Engine light. So I will probably have to go to the dealer and play dumb to get the Check Engine light removed. The truck ran fine however.

Update: The Check Engine light is off. Took about 4 or so trips, but it is gone now.

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

I found the VCIM new .gmpartsdistributor dot com $263.64
I still nead to send it for progging correct?

I'll let everyone know hopefully later this week when the beta guys report, it's pretty time intensive on my end so we'll see what we come up with

on another thread I read you were working on a way to prog the VCIM W/O your car and I wanted to know how it is going and is there an ETA for resumption of your service?

Does this happen on G8's, or just your '07 sierra?

I've had my onstar AND XM boxes completely removed out of my trunk for several months and have never gotten any CEL or other malfunctioning lights like you describe. ????
