I just bought a 2009 1LT Cobalt with cruise control as its only option. I've since put in the USB radio and steering wheel controls. Now that I have the wheel controls, the voice tells me that I can choose "Bluetooth" as an option. Unfortunately, when I actually say "bluetooth" the system doesn't recognize it. Could I get the factory bluetooth working by a simple software install at the dealership? Do I need to find a bluetooth antenna to plug into my CIM? Do I need a different CIM to make this work? Is it at all possible to get factory bluetooth working in this car?

I'm really just wondering if anyone out there might know if I need to add a bluetooth antenna or if the CIM already has the antenna installed.

 

no idea but you would need the bluetooth mic at the very least

 

As far as I know, it uses the same mic as the Onstar system that came with it.

 

yeah im having the same problem except i cant figure out how to use the bluetooth at all... i got the 09 ss and its supposed to come with bluetooth but i got no idea how to use it... i know for the other models it was an add on tho... but if anyone knows how to use on the 09 ss/tc any info would be appreciated...

 

I think you do it by holding down the call button and saying "Bluetooth" when prompted. You'll have to pair a phone with it which will required input to the phone and the vehicle. The instructions are in the owner's manual.
