    Default G8 GT BlueTooth

    How do you activate Bluetooth on a G8 GT? How do you know if it has Bluetooth?

    Look at the VIN. You need to see a number sequence 9L3 in it. If you see 9L1 you definitely don't have Bluetooth. If you have 9L2 there is only the slimmest of chances you have Bluetooth. All 9L3 cars came with Bluetooth. That is the fastest way.

    The 9 will be the 10th digit, the L will be the 11th digit, the 12th digit is the "key" to a quick review.

    Another easy way - does your back seat have a set of drink holders that are NOT in the center armrest (that is a pair of pop out drink holders that come out of the base cushion at the center of the back seat). If it does you have a 9L3 car and you have Bluetooth.

    If it has it there will be two boxes in the trunk and slide out cup holders in the rear seat bottom.

    9L1 car has 0.000000000000000000000% chance of having factory Bluetooth. They are early production 2009 models. They have a higher chance of having bad lifters or lower control arms. If your G8 has over 50K miles - the bad lifters and bad LCAs would have very likely reared their ugly heads by now.
