I've had many emails and PM's with questions about iPod and Bluetooth solutions for V model CTS
here is what it takes. I have parts coming in the next few days

Bluetooth Options
1. 99% Plug and Play Module ( still required BT kit) $85 shipped
this module connects between NavRadio --> Factory Harness --> BT kit.
It automaticaly mute radio and let BT signal go through your Bose system. No need to disconnecting or hacking your OnStar. Also the great feature of this module is that "not using vehicle data communication"
http://yourgmsolutions.com/bluetooth_car_kit_harnesses.html
2. all you have to do is to buy any BT kit and connect to this interface module.
3. I can also put together a package with Bluetooth kit already. I can offer several Brands of BT kits

iPod Option
I have a kit that I have been testing in a V and it worked out ok.
this is how it works (hate it or love it)
1. you can scroll only through your playlist (such as recently purchased/most 25 played/or what ever else you create) or songs
2. will not scroll through Artist/Albums/ etc.
3. additional AUX input
last year I installed and sold a whole bunch of Neucelus kits and few others which in my opinion (i am not going to lie) have one more feature over the one that I have. But I had to remove them form every single vehicle because of the conflicts with XM.
$115 shipped. with 10 days to try out. if you like it great, if not --> send it back and you'll get your money back. So there is nothing to loose.

Ok, i have a MP3 that has a Bluetooth option. If i wanted to listen to it on my radio would it be possible with your adaptor?

Lookin forward to your reply....

I didnt get bitten by the Ipod craze...Went Samsung for 1/3 the price....And it has built in speakers and bluetooth for transmittin and receivin...

If You want to transmit signal of your Samsung via blutooth through your Bose, its possible, but very costly. (unsless you use fm modulator)
it will be cheaper for you if you just buy ipod kit and use AUX option for your Samsung.Or another option would be, I can build you a switcher module, where you can toggle (using toggle switch) between your XM and your Samsung.(least expensive option)

Your ipod adaptor has a ear jack input or just the RCA left and right?

Also how would you take payment, CC or wire transfer?

I am very interested int the BT kit, I have been wanting to hook up my cell to the car since before I bought the car. Let me know when the kit is available and if the cost is still going to be the same.

Thanks,
Andy

With regard to Bluetooth, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "not using vehicle data communication"; do you mean it won't affect your Nav system?

Mike (somewhat confused)

i have parrot kit in my car and it is great. better than motorola bt kit that was in my other car.

With regard to Bluetooth, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "not using vehicle data communication"; do you mean it won't affect your Nav system?

Mike (somewhat confused)

the way 99.9% lockpicks work, is manipulating with vehicle data control system. this kit does not. I used hundreds and hundreds of their kits on different vehicles (mostly GM), and they just awesome
company who makes them is "Kram Telecom"
http://www.kram.dk/

Put me in for a complete bluetooth setup. I was the one emailing you on this. What is used for a microphone and does it play throught the car's sound system?

Do you offer motorola kits?

Thanks, Jeff

Interested to know how your BT kit works...like you said the current ones interface with the databus, which has given me a few hiccups, but nothing major....two questions, does the radio have to be in the 'on' position to hear the ringer, or take/make a call....and will it have it's own volume control...even with the hiccups in my current system I like that I can have the radio blaring and as soon as it switches to on* it goes to that preset volume and is adjusted separately.....very interested in how your kit works....let us know when you can on the pricing.

I"ve ben looking for something like this. especially with calf. law effective July 1 that you can't be on the cell phone while driving, must be hands free. will this harness intergrate the motorola IHF1000 kit to the CTS-V radio? and use the internal speakers and microphones? sorry i didn't just pm you but i'm too new. when do you expect to have them available?

^^ I'm pretty sure internal mic is a no, considering you keep on*...it's a POS anyways.

I would be very interested in a complete BT solution as well? Can you PM me with a price including the handsfree kit that you recommend (Parrot or Motorola)? Thanks, Rob

I'm interested in a complete BT kit as well but could use more info on ease of installation, what microphone does it use, and are there any tradeoffs? (ie are any radio/nav functions NOT going to work post install).

I think this is going to be my first mod. Picking up an 06 black on black next week. Kinda wish I was putting some performance mods but this is a work car first. A bad azz work car tho. One other thing do any of these "lock picks" able to override the DVD not work wile driving thing? I realy just want to be able to play a DVD with music vids on it, extra rca imputs would be cool. I'm thinking screens in the back headrest.

lot of great info on this site.

thx

Bob

I want an ipod kit but your website keeps crashing Firefox. Going to try IE6..

EDIT: Got it working.

I do have a question though...

Site says it displays artist name, song name, song number.. which is awesome. But it also says you can scroll through the playlist using the tuning knob. Can you goto Next Track and Previous Track using the steering wheel controls? This is the main feature I am looking for.

I want BLUETOOTH capability in my '05 CTS-V

I have an iPod kit from USA-SPEC: http://www.usaspec.com/ipod_product_sheets/pa11-vette.pdf

I do not have an XM subscription.

I just got a new Cellphone with BT capability, but have never used BT before.

4+ Questions...

1. What exactly do I need to buy from you to get it to work? and is there anything else I'll need to buy from anyone else? (is it just your kit, or is it your kit plus another module from elsewhewre?)

2. If my phone is in my pocket, how do I answer a call in the car? Is there a button I push, or does it answer automatically?

3. If i'm in my car can I just answer my cell phone regularly without BT if I have passengers that don't need to hear both ends of my conversation?

4. Will the kit mute my iPod which is played through my XM reciever?

Sorry if some of these questions seem stupid, but again, I have no BT expirience as of yet.

Not to rain on yourgm's parade, but I got one of these Kram Drive and talk cables from another vendor. I did not try it on my V, but on CTS Bose, non-nav, when I hooked it up, the volume was very very low. Now it's possible (though extremely unlikely) that I hooked it up wrong. Or more likely, they sent me the wrong cables. The one they sent me hooks up to the ISO connectors on the back of the radio, the same exact place you would hook up a parrot directly (the parrot kit does not include a speaker, the mute cable and power cable have standard ISO connectors). And the box that plugs inline with the cable says "soft-mute for Bose radios." So I am guessing it highly attenuates the signal for use with an amplifier.

So instead, I hooked the Parrot up directly to the ISO connectors on the back of the radio (which are the same as the nav radio ISO connectors) and, much to my surprise, it works. Contrary to what I have always been told, it does not effect the sound quality of radio. And as for the Parrot sound quality, it is superior to what I am getting through the radios&more onstar interface box in my V. I called a couple different folks, and they could not believe I was on a speaker phone.

The only problem is this: the radio must be on when you are using the Parrot. Since the parrot is ultimately sending its sound through the amp, the amp must be on. If the radio is off, then the amp is off, and call volume is so low, even stopped with the engine off you can barely hear it. But as long as the radio is on the volume of the speakerphone is about the same as the volume of the radio.

I would urge people interested in a bluetooth kit to get the Parrot. I have used Parrot, Nokia, and Motorola. Parrot has the best sound. There is not even a close second. Though to be fair, both of the other kits do sound good as long as you are using a phone from the same manufacturer.

I will soon be posting a thread in the CTS forum with photos showing my install.

1. What exactly do I need to buy from you to get it to work? and is there anything else I'll need to buy from anyone else? (is it just your kit, or is it your kit plus another module from elsewhewre?)

2. If my phone is in my pocket, how do I answer a call in the car? Is there a button I push, or does it answer automatically?

3. If i'm in my car can I just answer my cell phone regularly without BT if I have passengers that don't need to hear both ends of my conversation?

4. Will the kit mute my iPod which is played through my XM reciever?



Assuming yourgm is selling the Kram Drive and Talk, which is what his website shows a photo of, this is how the cable works:

You need to buy a Bluetooth Handsfree kit. There are many manufacturers; Parrot, Nokia, Motorola, and several others. Nokia and Motorola were designed and intended to be used with an external speaker. They have a mute lead which you can connect to a radio that has a mute input to mute the radio when the mute lead sends a 12v signal. GM radios (certainly the ones in the CTS) do not have a mute input. I believe Ford is the only ones that do.

Parrot kits do not include a speaker, they are designed to plug into radios that use ISO connectors for power and speaker connections. Parrot themselves, along with many third party sellers, offer custom made adapters that plug directly into OEM radios, so there is no splicing involved. The CTS radios, at least the one in my 2006 Bose CTS, and the Nav radio in the CTS-V use ISO connectors on the back, albeit they are not quite standard. I will get back to that.

The Parrot includes a "mute" cable, and a power cable. What the mute cable does is, when your phone gets a call and opens the bluetooth gateway to the Parrot, it blocks the audio coming from the radio, and inserts the audio coming from your phone. This DOES NOT mute the radio per se, it just blocks the sound. Your radio continues on doing whatever it was doing, completely unaware of the phone call taking place. If you were listening to a CD or ipod, it will not pause, it will continue to play.

The Kram cable works the same way. But it plugs into the Parrots "brain box" and you can toss the parrot's mute and power cables, as they are not needed. The Kram simply has it's own muting mechanism (it's approximate 2"x4"x1" black box). As I said above, I believe it attenuates the signal as well, where the Parrot (and Nokia and Motorola) does not.

I should note, that the newer Parrot kits (the MK6100 for sure) do not have seperate mute cables. That functionality has been moved inside of the brain box. I should also note that there are two different mechanisms for muting on the parrot. First is the mute lead. This sends a 12v signal to radios that support it telling the radio to mute itself (and pause the cd player if applicable). The second is the built-in muting, which are relays that simply block one set of the audio (coming from the radio) and replace with another (coming from the phone.)

The parrot has both types of muting. Nokia and Motorola kits do not. They only have the mute lead. Which does no good on a radio that does not support it. But that is where this Kram cable comes in.


The short of what I am saying here, is that if you buy a Parrot kit, you do not need the Kram cable. The parrot already has its own muting mechanism. If you prefer the Nokia or Motorola Kit, you do need the Kram cable, as their mute lead does nothing in the CTS.


To answer your other questions, no. You do not need to buy anything other than the kram cable, and your choice of bluetooth kit. Except maybe some electrical tape and connectors because no matter what kit or cables you use, you are going to have to get switched power from the HVAC, since there is no switched power going anywhere to radio. This is where the ISO connectors in the CTS are different. Standard ISO connectors are supposed to have constant and switched power. Of course if you are willing to have your bluetooth kit on 24/7, you could go with just constant power and everything will still work.

If the phone is in your pocket, you use the control pad. All the kits come with one. They have buttons for talk, end call, and a knob for volume. Except I think the nokia still only has one button for both talk and end call. The new Parrot MK6100 even has a display that shows phone status and caller id (if your phone supports this over bluetooth-many do not).

And you can switch between the car kit and your handset by pressing the talk button on the car kit's control pad. The MK6100 even lets you pair a headset, so you can switch between the car kit and headset instead.

I got one of these Kram Drive and talk cables from another vendor. I did not try it on my V, but on CTS Bose, non-nav, when I hooked it up, the volume was very very low.

most likely you ordered wrong parts or wired something backword. I never had this type of issues before with Kram product. their application guide is not 100% accurate, took me some time to figure out what is compatible with what

3. I can also put together a package with Bluetooth kit already. I can offer several Brands of BT kits



So how much are we lookin' at including your reccomended BT kit?

1. will this harness intergrate the motorola IHF1000 kit to the CTS-V radio?
2. use the internal speakers and microphones?
3. when do you expect to have them available?

1.this harness will integrate with IHF1000 to the CTS-V radio
2. use the internal speakers --> yes. and microphones --> possible but would not recomend it
3. next week, but I'll keep you updated

So how much are we lookin' at including your reccomended BT kit?

there is many options. but I just worked a deal with Visteon (for my dealers) for their Bluetooth kit. Awesome product and quality. those who are familiar with Parrot will tell right away, that it looks like CK3100. yes it was made by Parrot, but because Visteon is one of the largest OEM supplyer, specs/quality/options are not the same as regular Parrot kit.
I can do it $160 shipped and its pretty much Plug and Play

Radio has to be on, but, if you are willing to do a little bit of "Hacking", there is an option to make BT work with radio in off position
depends what kit and option you go with, volume can be comtrol from the radio, or from BT kit

Parrot kit.

Let me know when they are ready. Thanks !!

Looks like we have a winner here, folks! I will be eagerly awaiting your update as to when they are available.

I am definitely in for one (maybe two) ipod kits.

Will this iPod kit lock the iPod? Or
Can the iPod still be controlled directly?
Is the iPod kit compatible with the new iPod platform (iPhone, touch, etc...)?

Thanks,
W

And this is the case with the V as well ??

And this is the case with the V as well ??

yes, accept steering wheel control option.
so far I have not seen a V with audio controls on the steering wheel.

yes it will lock the ipod
yes its compatible with new generation of ipod, and iPhone as well

yes, accept steering wheel control option.

The 07's have steering wheel controls ! maybe some of the 06's as well?? so i guess i'll assume it'll work for me

yes it will lock the ipod
yes its compatible with new generation of ipod, and iPhone as well

Don't know that it will work for me then.

I have an iphone. If it gets locked then no dice.

My other ipod has 67 gigs on it and I cand scroll one song at a time or possibly make enough play lists.

Let me know if you come up with another option.

I have an iphone. If it gets locked then no dice.
.

for the iPhone is different.
while you using iPod mode of your iPhone, and if somebody will call you it will automatically switch fron ipod mode to the phone, and then it will go back again to the iPod

Don't know that it will work for me then.

Mark installed the kit in my car and I as well have the iPhone. It will ask if you want to turn on airport mode or not when you plug the connection in. I selected to not turn on airport mode and indeed it will inturupt the iPod function and kick into the phone function. It works the same way as if you had your headphones connected and were listening to your iPod as the call came in.

Well thats fine for the iPhone.

Now for the problem of using my real iPod.

I have over 10,000 (not sure how many, have 60+gigs on there) songs on it. So, what about it? I cant make enough playlists to cover it. I need the i pod unlocked.

I'm up for ordering all of this (bluetooth, visteon, i pod hookup) just have to get it all sorted out. I cant have my big iPod locked.

1.this harness will integrate with IHF1000 to the CTS-V radio
2. use the internal speakers --> yes. and microphones --> possible but would not recomend it
3. next week, but I'll keep you updated

sound good to me i'm in! pm me with the info to do this.

If you can't deal with the locked ipod, you can use the headphone jack through the aux input. And then just pick up a car charger. then you can have both the iphone and the ipod plugged in.

Well thats fine for the iPhone.

1. there is a kit called "Bluetouch".
http://bluetouch.de/HTMLengl/ystart.html and they also have a few videos on their web site
I installed few of those, and its impressive. will download your phone book and also voice activated. its not cheap. plug and play also. I can get you one for a good price. $300, but that kit worth every penny,( it does bluetooth and iPod/iPhone)

Just use there kit, or use there kit and your adapter?

DAMN!!! you can score this bluetouch for 300$, can you also get me the FM modulator?
PM me final price and i will get the money to you to complete this order

I'll have interface module in a few days
as far as BT kit it self, any brand/model do you prefer ?

I do not have any Brand/Model Preference, I will be happy if it works just like the setup in the car. Let me know what you have and the cost, I have read through most of the post but I think the breakdown you gave someone else was for the IPOD setup. Will re read tonight....

What are all the components that I need to buy? and how much is the total for a working system?

Thanks,

Andy

How's it Comming?

As I posted earlier, I am interested in purchasing a COMPLETE solution for ipod and bluetooth. I don't want to go fishing for parts or create wire harnesses, if you send me a quote for EVERYTHING in one simple package I will pay you via paypal or whatever works best for you. My e-mail is raveschi@earthlink.net.

Thanks,

Rob

PM sent....

Any progress on the ipod kit?

Update please.

I have surgery coming up next tuesday, so I am a little bit depressed right now. few days after my surgery (they will be braking my kidney stone with some kind of electromagnetic shock waves and inserting some crap inside of me) and (if I don't die), I am going to put my hands on couple of CTS's (and V of course) and make a few videos how it works and what it does.

good luck with the surgery. Trust me, the risk of complications are almost nill. Although very unpleasant. I know a guy who went through the same exact thing.

I passed a stone myself once. Passing it wasnt too too bad, but whenever the thing moves in there, you FEEL it. BIG TIME.

thanks Jimmy.

Hey YourGMSolutions surgury go OK? Get a chance to do anything with the Bluetooth?

any word on these? too new to PM!

Those of you that are just looking for a bluetooth solution here is a cheap solution. Nothing fancy, but I have one and it works damn well for the money. Its pretty loud and easy to use. Just clip it on your visor, its out of the way and not noticeable while driving. They also offer a rear view mirror one that looks pretty cool too.

He has posted since then. I think he just needs some time to get back into the swing of things.

I hope he didn't die because I just ordered an Ipod kit from him!

Funny thing about that order, when you pay with Paypal, and you click the button to "go back to merchant's website", it takes you to Cadillac Owners Forum. Haha... :lol:

I've had many emails and PM's with questions about iPod and Bluetooth solutions for V model CTS
here is what it takes. I have parts coming in the next few days

Bluetooth Options
1. 99% Plug and Play Module ( still required BT kit) $85 shipped

2. will not scroll through Artist/Albums/ etc.
3. additional AUX input
last year I installed and sold a whole bunch of Neucelus kits and few others which in my opinion (i am not going to lie) have one more feature over the one that I have. But I had to remove them form every single vehicle because of the conflicts with XM.
$115 shipped. with 10 days to try out. if you like it great, if not --> send it back and you'll get your money back. So there is nothing to loose.

Hey Im just interested in getting a Ipod adapter I never listen to XM
or for that matter the radio just CDs do you got anything that will work let me know. I wasn't sure if youhave already mentioned that yet, let me know i'd appreciate it. Thanks

Order has arrived. :)

Everything looks pretty simple to install, hoping to have it in by the weekend!

how did you get your order? been trying for a month to get more info. yourgmsolutions.com web site no help all dead links.

how did you get your order? been trying for a month to get more info. yourgmsolutions.com web site no help all dead links.

I don't know, I ordered it and it arrived a few days later. ???


I hooked it up and it does not work. XM band disappears when it 's hooked up and appears when it's not. Anyone know what dip switch settings work with the navigation?

I don't know, I ordered it and it arrived a few days later. ???
ordered it from who? name, number,part numbers? i doesn't sound like it works as advertised tho.

i too am interested in the Bluetooth kit for a CTS.

Hey YourGMSolutions, do you have any updates on getting BlueTooth for our CTS-Vs?

Can you send me info on bluetooth and/or iphone integration for the 2005 CTS-V.
I would like to answer/dial the phone through the bose. Also listen to the music on iphone (I don't mind controlling everything from the iphone)
Thanks.

I got a Parrot BT kit from this guy (Mark), less than 2 weeks ago. You do not need an extra wiring harness for this kit, it's almost plug and play. There are directions with pics if you do a search in the regular CTS section of this forum. Works like a charm. I got in touch with Mark, nice guy by the way, by calling the number on his web page.

I got the wrong part sent to me (one for an Escalade) and I'm still waiting for a new module. Tempted to just break open the box and start switching pins.

I am very interested int the BT kit, I have been wanting to hook up my cell to the car since before I bought the car. Let me know when the kit is available and if the cost is still going to be the same.

Thanks,
Andy
Verizon can add any GM vehicle as an added Cell Phone unit to a contract. Uses your existing OnStar phone number. No modification required and uses your current package minutes; hands free. Cheaper than any mod package/cheaper than the OnStar contract.

has anyone installed one of these bluetooth wire harness? does it work? how easy was it to install? thanks for any info.

that assumes you have Verizon. And Onstar. No thanks to both.
