Hi all!

 

I was looking to add bluetooth to my car and I found the Bluestar module which replaces the onstar module. This allows you to have bluetooth capabilities while using the existing onstar equipment. The unit is normally $279. I spoke with Chris from Costartech who said that if 10 people are interested in buying, they will reduce the price to $225. I'm not selling these, I'm just trying to see if we can get a discount from the vendor. I have this posted in the Chevy Cruze forum as well. Check out the company's website to see if this might work for you. I'm including the links below.

I have a BlueStar Unit that I installed in my 2009 Silverado, I purchased it via group buy on Feb 19, 2010. It works just fine and you can tweak it following the instruction guides on the web site. But now I bought the Advent OGM1 which has Parrot Bluetooth built in, so I do not need the BlueStar anymore. If you want to purchase it for $100.00 plus whatever it cost to ship, contact me.

I also have the OEM Radio for sale. Non-Bose, if anybody wants to buy it.

I have an 01 Suburban with the obsolete analog Onstar, would any of this fit mine? Have I got any upgrade options? Is it good for anything at all? Can I delete the sucker?

Yeah, I saw them. Unless you know where to get the discontinued model...

 

 

 

5. What?s the difference between the BLUESTAR, the BLUESTAR PnP, and the BLUESTAR 2010?

The first generation BLUESTAR was intended for older vehicles (pre-2002) that do not have the white PnP connector. It typically replaced older onstar modules that have RED and BLUE connectors. This unit required a custom harness to interface to the vehicle, but is no longer supported. The PnP version has the same connectors as the onstar module and simply plugs in its place. It came in CLASS2, GMLAN-11, and GMLAN-29 versions. It too has been discontinued. The BLUESTAR 2010 is the newest generation of BLUESTAR product and is universal to work in almost all GM vehicles 2002 and up.

 

 

 

Mine is an 01.

I would buy a Bluestar 2010 for $225 unless I make a deal with electricchiken7 first.

Mmm, Chris at costar says the bluestar 2010 can be hacked for my car; gotta get a post-03 harness out of another truck, I think he said trailblazer, envoy is an easy pick-n-pull just under the passenger (?) seat.

      A/C failure cause???

      By Somethingclever_2014GM · Posted

      Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.

      Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
