20842731 VCIM in an 09 LS?

Hello,
I am trying to add bluetooth to my 09 LS. I already have the steering wheel controls. I do not use Onstar so I am not concerned if I lose that functionality. Will part number 20842731 work in an 09? I know there are some differences in the CAN bus but I am not sure what they are. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Did you have to purchase the additional harness for the door chimes? About how much did the setup cost you? Thanks!

update:
I found an actual 09 VCIM at a junk yard. I purchased it and will install soon. Hopefully it will work out. Finally I will have bluetooth for my phone in my car....

I used part # 20837492 which came in Cadillac STS,Solstice, Sky and '09 HHR. I got mine from Schrams Auto parts in Waterford Michigan, they are on ebay. I installed it in my '09 LS and it works great. I can't get my monthly updates from onstar because they think my car is a 2010 Cadillac STS but the bluetooth does work. I have used it for over 1 year already. The part # 20842731 fits 10-13 Camaro's, Lacrosse's, 11-13 Regals and 10-12 SRX. Not sure if it will work for the HHR.

Update

I received my module and installed it last night. Works fine. In case anyone is interested in buying one, I found a web site that searches junk yards in your area for the part. Turns out it was MUCH cheaper than ebay. I paid $115 shipped and I probably could have got it for $100 if I went to the junk yards web site. Anyway, you can search for any part and they also describe the condition. Here is the web site:
