    Ive done some reading on other threads about the Costar/Bluestar units. Are there different models (older vs newer)? I thought I have seen a II and a 2010 model? What model do I need to purchase for a 09 GT? There is a way to stream music from an Iphone6 right? Can you stream an alternative...

    I have a 2009 GT and would really like to have factory Bluetooth. My sister got a 2009 Cobalt a few months back and has no use for Onstar or Bluetooth. I read somewhere the the Cobalt modules were compliant to get reflashed to work in the G8s. Could I potentially swap my Onstar module with...
