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.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
