Factory Bluetooth unit in 2008
i just bought a 2008 HHR SS recently and after the purchase, I’ve learned 09up oem Head unit has a USB port.
If I get a take off head unit from 09up, would it be a direct swap, plug n play? No secuty code and such involved? Will I be able to control music player in my phone through the head unit when it’s connected to the USB port? My car has the favtory radio/cd, just Aux port, no USB. it also has ON star. (I really don’t used instant, though. I’m in my free 3 months trial since I bought my car from a Chevy dealer) If it would be an easy plug n play swap, I’d like to do it.... (no plans to get an aftermarket unit...I like to keep it stock.) does anyone here have a take of unit laying around that you wanna sell? Thank you in advance. |
There will be a security code and you will have to have the VIN from the donor car. You’re gonna have to get either the dealership or a shop with a scanner to code the radio to your SS.
The UAsB ports have been know to break so I’d simply stay with what you have. |

I’d stick with what I’ve got as you suggested. 👍 Bluetooth is just one of those “nice to have” but not “must have” for me. Heck I enjoy driving my SS so much that I would wanna be bothered by a phone call. Lol |
Why is the title about bluetooth and the question is about USB?
Here is the first result from a search of "usb port" set to ALL. https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/gene...sb-port-27799/ |
Bluetooth is with the OnStar system not the radio or USB port.
Shut the radio off, go for a drive and listen to your engine, turbo and exhaust nites! Much more invigorating then Van Halen! |
