Well, the title says it all. I have the Costar Bluetar in hand and I can't find the OnStar module to install it. Someone said it was in back on the right side, but I didn't at first glance see how to get in there. Any tricks anyone knows or will it be obvious when I finally get there?

Start removing the panels.
Lay the seats down,
remove the right cargo latch bolt
remove the right selt belt bolt
remove the upper small bolt under the tab..
lift out the panel
may have to remove the trim panel in the middle , the one near the
tail gate upper portion ceiling..

You don't happen to know if the OnStar module is actually back there, do you?

if you have the extra antenna on the back portion of your roof you should have one.. also in your rear view mirror you should have the button for onstar,

It's not fun to get to, it's behind the lower panel on the passenger side. I pulled the top panel and then was able to reach down and get the needed plugs out. I installed the BlueStar 2010 and after setting the volume my wife, it's for her, is really happy. Just make sure if you put one in to run a USB cable to somewhere you can get to as I needed to adjust it with a laptop to get the mic volume correct.

Well, in the end, the Costar didn't work in the HHR. It seemed fine at first, but got noisy more and more of the time and then there was no sound out of the cars speakers. Pulled it out, sent it back, he says it works perfect and I got my money back. Sad, because when it worked right, it was perfect. I was really hoping it was broken and he'd send me a new one.
