| Re: OnStar -> Bluetooth Conversion Completed!!! As you can see from the previous pic, the bluetooth portion is based on a motorola HF850 module. I simply created an interface to the mirror buttons and mic which replaces the keypad and mic that comes with the kit.
So to pair, you simply hold the blue onstar button for three seconds, and the indicator led will start flashing green / off. Then you put your cell in search mode. Once the moto module is found, you enter the linking pass code into your phone.
This only has to be done once, and every time you get into your car, your phone will link to the car kit. You can mute the call using the red emergency button. And you can transfer the call to your cell for privacy if someone else is in the car.
When on hook, the indicator is red, and when muted it flashes red/green.
Pricing depends on peoples interest (total quantity). The pcboards are expensive to build in low quantities. And the moto modules are not cheap either. I really set out to do this for myself, but a friend of mine thought it would make a cool product so he talked me into posting it.
I'm out of town for the rest of the week, but I'll see about making a video or at least some kind of manual showing installation and operation.
Regarding Hyperboimmv, If you already have a moto kit, then all you need is the pcb and harness. The pcb plugs right into the moto module.
Now in my '01 DTS, there was a cell unit and a VIU which were located in the trunk. The VIU had two connectors on it and the cell module had one. But they all connected to this harness connector shown in the pic. So for install, you pull out the VIU, and the cell module and the interconnecting harness. This gets tossed and the unit in the pic get installed by connecting it right where the old harness was.
A picture (or video) is worth a 1000 words so I'll see if I can get something better put together soon. |
