Well... it's been a long time since I first started this thread... but I finally got my BlueFusion installed yesterday!

 

It showed up via UPS in the middle of preparing for dinner, but I couldn't help myself. I had it installed in about 5 minutes. Very easy to do. Flipped the glove box down, pulled the plug from the XM module, plugged in the harness, hooked up the BlueFusion unit and the mic, and I was good to go. I drove around with the mic wire hanging out today until I decided where to place the mic (have it on the bottom of the review mirror). Now I've got the cord run through the headliner and down the A pillar to behind the glove box.

 

The sound quality is excellent on my end, and seems good on the other side too. The button fuctions aren't exactly what I expected. It's not as integrated as I might have hoped. Answering a call is easy with the track forward ( >l ) button on the head unit or the steering wheel. You can hang up with the same button. Beyond that, all functions are accessed by holding down the track back ( l< ) button until the xm mutes and the BlueFusion comes up. You then use the audio adjusts knob to access phone numbers of voice dialing. It only shows numbers for contacts (not names), and the steps you have to go to get to the voice dial makes it easier to just find your contact with the phone (I have mine mounded on a suction cup on my windshield just next to the A pillar on the driver's side, so it is in my face and easy to access). There is a mic adjust option, but I cant seem to adjust... I guess I'll figure that out later.

 

All in all, I'm very satisfied with the unit. I would recommend it to anyone wanting an integrated unit that is easy to install and works well for basic calling.

 

I have a non-nav unit. Additional functionality in a nav unit may make it even more appealing.

Since this topic is back, my boss just the wiring harness from them for his Parrot CK3100LCD, $50 and free s/h not bad.

 

I also put the 3100 into my wife's 2000 Blazer with the correct harness and it took about 5 min. to get done, the hardest part was figuring out where I was going to route the wires.

 

I got a p/t job at Circuit City this past holiday season and now that they're closing I'm started buying up the Parrot BT units for cheap.

 

I got myself an extra 3100 that I plan to put in my Silverado and then move my Schoche to my 92 Sonoma GT but then I ran across this today, Premiers new DEH-P710BT.

 

If some of you are thinking of going for the Bluefusion, for the price it might be better to go with this instead.

I added blue tooth from an 09 to my 07. can get you the factory gm parts to add it to your gmt900 trucks. my cost at the dealer ship with the vcim, bluetooth antenna, and new buttons for the steering wheel with phone pictures on them is about $300.00 and it will have to be programmed. then it will work just like factory 09. all you need to have is factory onstar and steering wheel controls.

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

Can you further elaborate on this? I thought the 07 -08 would not be upgradable? Are you confirming what most of us thought that it would be a simple module and reprogram upgrade ?

 

I have an 07 LTZ, Nav, Onstar, etc and I was wondering about the steering wheel switch and what info (VIN, codes, etc) that the tech 2 would need to implement this?

 

Can you provide a write up or further details. I was leaning towards the Blue Fusion, but I prefer the integrated soultion if it is not cost prohibitive.

 

Thanks...

I know for sure you can add bluetooth to the vehicles I listed before, because I work at a GMC dealership and have done it. you will need to replace your VCIM with the new one and add the antenna that just plugs into it and have it programmed at your dealer, then it can take up to 24 hours for your onstar to reactivate that is if you still have an onstar subscription. you really dont have to change the steering wheel buttons if you dont want the only difference is that they have a picture of a phone, I did because they are under $30 for the buttons.

only difference between nav radio and non nav is that with the non-nav you just hold down you steering wheel button and when the voice asks for a command you say bluetooth, on the nav radio you also hold the button on the steering wheel but when voice prompts you say onstar and then you say bluetooth

Bluetooth® Vehicles with a Bluetooth system can use a Bluetooth capable cell phone with a Hands Free Profile to make and receive phone calls. The system can be used while the key is in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY position. The range of the Bluetooth system can be up to 30 ft. (9.1 m). Not all phones support all functions, and not all phones are guaranteed to work with the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. See gm.com/bluetooth for more information on compatible phones.

 

<A href="http://gsi.xw.gm.com/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=2000385&pubCellSyskey=169332&pubObjSyskey=2000385&from=sm&cellId=169332#ss1-2000385">

Voice Recognition

The Bluetooth system uses voice recognition to interpret voice commands to dial phone numbers and name tags.

 

Noise: Keep interior noise levels to a minimum. The system may not recognize voice commands if there is too much background noise.

 

When to Speak: A short tone sounds after the system responds indicating when it is waiting for a voice command. Wait until the tone and then speak.

 

How to Speak: Speak clearly in a calm and natural voice.

 

<A href="http://gsi.xw.gm.com/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=2000385&pubCellSyskey=169332&pubObjSyskey=2000385&from=sm&cellId=169332#ss2-2000385">

Audio System

When using the in-vehicle Bluetooth system, sound comes through the vehicle's front audio system speakers and overrides the audio system. Use the audio system volume knob, during a call, to change the volume level. The adjusted volume level remains in memory for later calls. To prevent missed calls, a minimum volume level is used if the volume is turned down too low.

 

<A href="http://gsi.xw.gm.com/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=2000385&pubCellSyskey=169332&pubObjSyskey=2000385&from=sm&cellId=169332#ss3-2000385">

Bluetooth Controls

Use the buttons located on the steering wheel to operate the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. See Audio Steering Wheel Controlsfor more information.

 

(Push To Talk) : Press to answer incoming calls, to confirm system information, and to start speech recognition.

 

(Phone On Hook): Press to end a call, reject a call, or to cancel an operation.

 

<A href="http://gsi.xw.gm.com/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=2000385&pubCellSyskey=169332&pubObjSyskey=2000385&from=sm&cellId=169332#ss4-2000385">

Pairing

A Bluetooth enabled cell phone must be paired to the in-vehicle Bluetooth system first and then connected to the vehicle before it can be used. See the cell phone manufacturers user guide for Bluetooth functions before pairing the cell phone. If a Bluetooth phone is not connected, calls will be made using OnStar® Hands-Free Calling, if available. Refer to the OnStar owner's guide for more information.

 

Pairing Information:

 

 

• Up to five cell phones can be paired to the in-vehicle Bluetooth system.

 

 

• The pairing process is disabled when the vehicle is moving.

 

 

• The in-vehicle Bluetooth system automatically links with the first available paired cell phone in the order the phone was paired.

 

 

• Only one paired cell phone can be connected to the in-vehicle Bluetooth system at a time.

 

 

• Pairing should only need to be completed once, unless changes to the pairing information have been made or the phone is deleted.

 

To link to a different paired phone, see Linking to a Different Phone later in this section.

I added blue tooth from an 09 to my 07. can get you the factory gm parts to add it to your gmt900 trucks. my cost at the dealer ship with the vcim, bluetooth antenna, and new buttons for the steering wheel with phone pictures on them is about $300.00 and it will have to be programmed. then it will work just like factory 09. all you need to have is factory onstar and steering wheel controls.

 

07crewsierra, this is is great news. I have a 2008 bose nav unit and have been waiting for someone to try the VCIM upgrade as this seemed to be a feasible solution. You mention that you can supply the parts for around $300? How do I go about making this purchase? Also, what would I communicate to the dealer, after I install the components, that it needs to be programmed? What do they do? Is this simply to program the new vicm or do they specifically need to program it for a 2009 with bluetooth? Thanks.

I am interested in this as well. Is $300 for the parts only? How much will programming cost? Is there something for the dealer to reference (when I had my dealer program for the rearview camera, they took forever finding out how to do it).

the phone number shows up in you dic whether you have nav or not, the thing I really like is that if your radio is cranked up and you blower motor is turned on high and someone calls you it will turn the radio off and also turn the blower motor to low.
