OnStar -> Bluetooth Conversion Completed!!!

[CadillacSTS2003]

im still waiting on my kit
they sent me the wrong one a 605
they are rushing me the correct one...

[CadillacSTS2003]

got my box today
began testing
and what other can i say than this guy has my 100% full backing
kit works flawlessly
remember the buttons will be the hardest part but thats to be expected
anyone looking for a bluetooth solution for their Cadillac Deville or Seville and have it fully integrated with the stock Cadillac system would do right to buy the Bluestar!

I've got a 2003 dts with a useless onstar and I'm not bad with installs. I was going to make a hack then I started reading and followed this thread. Now I'm excited. I want a BlueStar! Talk to me Rusty.

RBD,
what do i need to do on my part to get one and install it?
sts2003,
what do u mean the buttons are the hardest part?

[CadillacSTS2003]

[mrgoodbar67]

Hi All,
I'm still here. Just waiting for the beta testers to post their complete findings with pictures before going forward with production.

So far, things look good. Hyper seems to have his unit working but not yet finalized the install and CadillacSTS has had good luck with his car. He has promised more detail next week. Quantum was supposed to do the install this past weekend but I have not heard from him yet.

I appreciate all of your patience and interest, but I'm sure you guys can realize that if I go forward and there is a problem, I'll be stuck eating a lot of expense. (As it is I'm already in for a lot). I need to be sure that this thing will work in different scenarios (i.e. vehicles, phones etc.) You remember, I made this for my car only, and I am finding that there are some subtle differences between models and years. (CadillacSTS has and will continue to be be a big help here.)

Once I get green lights from the beta's, I'll push forward as fast as I can.

I promise that it will be worth the wait.

Regards,
-RBD

Hey RustyBlazerDude!

Sorry for the delay in putting your unit in. I JUST finished the CarPC install on Saturday afternoon, details and pics can be found here: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...lots-pics.html (2002 DTS CarPC Installed!!! - Lots of pics!!!)

Since there were so many variables with the computer playing nicely with the car (remove the radio, install GMOS-06, etc.) I wanted to make sure that it worked before I added another piece to the mix.

The good news is the CarPC and GMOS-06 work perfectly together, and when I press the Onstar button, the sound mutes and the Onstar kicks in.

Now that I know that part works, I can put in the BlueStar and the HF850 and see what that does. Based on our chats, I am pretty sure it will do the same thing Onstar does, which would be SO cool!

So, yes it is a non-traditional install. If it works (confident it will!), you will be able to also add "it works with GMOS-06 and a non-factory head unit" to the marketing material.

I will see about getting it in tonight or at the very latest before the weekend.

THX!!!

Will it fit? Yes...

Will it work with the phone you have in the car? No...

That is really just a fancy Bluetooth handsfree kit that links up with your Bluetooth cel phone.

I looked into it a while back. It is very neat, costs about $500.00 IIRC. Since it's just a BT handsfree unit, the kit that RustyBlazerDude has put together is much more "factory"

Hi guys,

I just bought one of Cartel's blue carphone from Verizonwireless.com for $349 and i love it.
Here is the link to Verizon http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/s...Bluetooth@reg;

Hope this helps!!

[mrgoodbar67]

RBD's is definitely better.
factory/ stock appearance and intergrates smoothly with the onstar and vehicle.
No handset no huge hand set sticking out like a sore thumb....."1980's saved by the bell Zach Morris phone".
Plus who the hell in that company allowed a bad cut and paste job of a mercedes in the photo gallery?
the caller id display is nice though....a bit pricey for me.

LOL, that cut and paste job is really ghetto.
