I'm thinking about getting one of those modules that you can plug into the VCIM to give you bluetooth through the onstar module. Looks like the VCIM is buried beneath the right rear quarter panel. Is it difficult to pull out the interior pieces to get to it? Any tips would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

 

two screws the cargo strap tie down and the seat belt screw. I did not even undo the seat belt screw but it would be easier pull out the panel with it undone. It just snaps out.

 

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but this is basically the same question, and the OP didn't mention whether his was a panel or not.

I plan on doing this soon myself, but I have a panel, and besides the cargo tie down, I have some sort of weird screw heads where the "Cargo shelf" goes. Also, the plastic panel seems to be all one piece and goes all the way to the rear door and includes the upper panel marked "airbag" although I don't believe there is an airbag in there since there is no rear seat. They probably use the same panel for the other styles that have passenger seats.

But I'm not sure what to take apart to get to it.

 

The place where the cargo shelf goes is a different panel ignore it. pull out the airbag notice thing I believe it is just signage but look behind it to be sure.

 

Can you clarify the part number or a link to where we can purchase this module?

A lot of what you need to know is in my original thread

 

I'm looking at an aftermarket module here http://www.costartech.com/pb/products/bluestar.html

Looks pretty simple to install, but if you want to keep onstar functionality it's not for you. It's really designed to replace your VCIM.

 

yes you will lose onstar and it is kind of expensive with the bluestar unit.
