Adding Bluetooth Controls?

tRUffleSHuffLE · April 4, 2012

Hello all, I just purchased my first sierra last friday and I am loving it. It's a 2012 Summit White body colored All Terrain 1500 SLE. I was told by the salesman that the truck had bluetooth installed on the steering wheel along with the radio controls. Well he lied and since I signed the paperwork and took delivery of the truck the dealership said they can't help me. So I have turned to the forums. According to GM the truck has to have a special wiring harness and receiver for the steering wheel controls for audio and bluetooth to work. So, I was wondering would you guys know if the wiring harness would be tucked up under the dash, if not what would I need to make this work, I want everything to be intergrated just as if it came off the assembly line that way. According to GM the RPO code that is used for steering wheel audio and bluetooth controls is UPF. Please help me, I really don't care the cost, I just need to know if it is something that can be done. Thanks in advance.

I'd first go back to the dealership and have a strong talk with your sales person who told you Bluetooth was installed. If that doesn't work I'd talk to their supervisor. Just for good customer relations they should help you with the issue. Make sure that you mention that one of the options that sold you on the truck was the promised Bluetooth, and get nasty! After spending so much on the new truck you're now looking at over $600 to add Bluetooth and steering wheel controls.

If that doesn't work, take a picture of your steering wheel and post it so we can see what (if any) controls your steering wheel has. If it has the radio controls then all you'll need to add is a VCIM to get the Bluetooth.
