Re: OnStar -> Bluetooth Conversion Completed!!!

Okay so for some reason, I can't edit my posts. Well I need to make an addition. The T605 is wired incorrectly from the factory. Motorola swapped the orange (supposed to be audio +) with the yellow (supposed to be mute). That is why I couldn't get my kit to mute when there is activity. I searched for T605 mute on google and found a SAAB board that was talking about it. So, the changes I made are that I am using the amplified audio out to connect to my amplifier, and the orange wire now connects to the HyperSTAR module.

I am getting ready for bed, I have to be up in 5 hours, to go to work, so I haven't finished the install the way I want. I am going to try and find a prototype box to put the module in, and I am going to make a harness for the amp, so I can plug and unplug if necessary. The T605 only uses five wires in the main harness: Red Constant for 12+, Black for Ground, Green for 12+ Ignition, Purple for Audio +, and Grey for Audio -. The HyperSTAR module uses Red for 12+ (I recommend using a switched source, because if the mute is shorted, the amp kicks in with the car off, regardless of radio activity) Grey for ground, Yellow for Mute, and Purple for Class 2 communication. I am trying to think of places to mount my mic, but the pillar is going to have to do for now. I think I am going to mount the T605 under the drivers seat. Before I got this board, I had my center console emptied out, with a 10 foot harness inside, hooked to the T605, because I wasn't sure what I was going to do, or where I was going to mount the stuff, but now that I have a controller and don't need the loud speaker, things are getting moved around.

The only problems I had with the install were from the T605 its self, not from the HyperSTAR. I am amazed at the quality of this board for being hand built. The sound quality is excellent. I can use the handset to control the volume, which is either good or bad, depending how you look at it, but nothing related to this module. This works with the iPhone, and its visual voicemail (read:selling point). For most of you, the BlueSTAR is going to be a plug and go type setup, but for those of us who don't have onstar, a bit of searching for the harness is required, and you will have to take the rear seats out. Once I figured out what I was going to hook up where, it was straight forward. The non-bose systems should be able to use this (read:sls,sts,eldo,deville, presumably any of the radios that have a phone display), so lots of people should be able to make use of this wonderful kit. Now, just in case there is some confusion, you would order BlueSTAR to use with a specific motorola kit that RustyBlazerDude would recommend, and you would want to use it to replace your analog onstar. The HyperSTAR kit is for any type of car kit that has a mute out (relays may be required). No audio goes through the HyperSTAR board.

I will get pics up once I get everything cleaned up, and can do a step by step instruction set to match the pics. RustyBlazerDude, thanks again, I truly am grateful for this. And you have built an amazing product.
