I have a new Samsung Solstice and would like to have it interface with the car's Bluetooth rather than subscribe to Onstar.

 

As far as I know,you have to be subscriber to OnStar for it to work.

 

Your vehicle has to have RPO code UPF to have bluetooth. RPO codes are found on a label in the glove box. It doesn't matter if you subscribe to OnStar or not, but if you have UPF then you have the Onstar equipment too.

 

So I called Chevy Owner Support. They walked me through the setup and it works now. It was pretty easy. On the steering wheel you press and hold the talk button for 2 secs until you get commands from the car and it guides you through setup. It gives you a PIN to id your phone. You can pair up to 10 phones on the system. After your'e done just press the disco button on the steering wheel, (the bottom button on the right side) and your finished.

Pretty cool, now I use the hands free app without using Onstar.

The list on the Chevy site is not complete. You have to call Chevy to find out if your phone is pairable with the feature. 800-222-1020 is the number.

 

Just so you guys know, if you dont see your phone on the compatibility list on the website, it DOES NOT mean the phone will not work.....It just means it was not tested yet. I bought a T-Mobile Google My Touch and it was not on the list and it paired up and works awesome.......actually it works better than my previous T-Mobile flip phone that WAS on the list. Dont get scared off by the list.....try your phone first. Just FYI.......

 

If you have a Cell Phone with Verizon, check with onstar about using your phone number as a second phone.

This is not through bluetooth.
