Adding a Second Phone to Bluetooth

This might be in the manual, but I can't find it.

I have two cellphones. My business phone is set up for the Bluetooth thingie in my HHR. I'd like to add my personal cellphone, too.

How do I do this?

Thanks in advance.

Page 3-84 of your manual
Page 3-85 has info about other things for Bluetooth

Pairing a Phone
1. Press and hold b g for two seconds. The system
responds with “Ready” followed by a tone.
2. Say “Bluetooth”. The system responds with
“Bluetooth ready” followed by a tone.
3. Say “Pair”. The system responds with instructions
and a four digit PIN number. The PIN number will
be used in Step 4.
4. Start the Pairing process on the cell phone that will
be paired to the vehicle. Reference the cell phone
manufacturers user guide for information on
this process.
Locate the device named “General Motors” in the list
on the cellular phone and follow the instructions on
the cell phone to enter the four digit PIN number that
was provided in Step 3.
5. The system prompts for a name for the phone. Use
a name that best describes the phone. This name
will be used to indicate which phone is connected.
The system then confirms the name provided.
6. The system responds with “<Phone name> has
been successfully paired” after the pairing process
is complete.
7. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for additional phones to
be paired.

Correct. Can not be added to 08 and older.

I managed to get both phones "paired," but I was under the misconception that both phones would be Bluetooth-connected simultaneously.

This is not the case, but all I have to do is push the button on the right side of the steering wheel (the little talking guy) and say "Bluetooth," then "Change Phones."

Voila!

I use my business phone from Monday - Friday. So, on Friday afternoon, I just say "Change Phones," and I'm dialed in for the weekend.

Thanks again!

I have GPS on my phone which always talked to me and told me when and where to turn, but when in bluetooth mode I can still get the GPS but no verbal direction from the phone or over the incar speaker, is there a fix that anyone is aware of?

I don't know how to fix and GM has no fix for that since bluetooth is only for listening, talking and dialing.

For the 2009 Chevy's and the phones that will work with your OnStar look here.

www.chevrolet.com/bluetooth

Also Check that your Vehicle has the bluetooth module installed, My 2009 Silverado does not.
So it will not work on all 2009 models.

Q: How do I know if my vehicle has Bluetooth?

A: Once in the voice recognition menu, say "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth, a "Bluetooth Ready" audio prompt will play. If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does not have Bluetooth functionality. For vehicle specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, use the vehicle owner's guide.

1. Press and hold the Push to Talk button for two seconds
2. Your system will respond with a "Ready" message followed by
a tone
3. Clearly say "Bluetooth"
4. Your system will respond with a "Bluetooth ready" message
followed by a tone
