Couple of questions...(I have '07 Tahoe w/ Bose NO Nav or DVD)
1. Why the need for the Onstar Lockpick? Is this so you can retain the steering wheel controls? Please explain.
2. Is there caller I.D. on the factory head unit display? This to me would be a must have. If not, any other kits that would make this work?
3. How does the cigarette lighter button work? Does it slide into the existing cigarette lighter adapter or does the button replace it?
4. How is the install video coming? Can you post a link to the this video if it is done? I'd like to see how hard it would be for me to install.
5. I have seen some of the posts you have made on the Escalade Forum regarding the Scosche BlueFusion kits. These kits seem like the answer to all the bluetooth needs someone could have. I spoke with Scosche rep a couple of weeks ago and it sounded like Mid-March release date for BFGM kits. Will you be selling these for less than the $399 advertised from Scosche upon release?
6. Is there any mention of CoastalTech coming out with a similar style kit as the BlueFusion? If so, when and how much? Any other info on these would be great also.
7. What would you recommend for the setup that I have (see above) in regards to bluetooth integration? Important things to me: caller ID on head unit display, voice activated dialing, steering wheel controls, and as simple plug-n-play as possible. Would be nice to be able to use the integrated Onstar mic as well, but I don't know if this is possible.
8. What do you recommend for iPod integration and can they be incorporated with the bluetooth phone kit integration to work side-by-side?
Feel free to PM me with any information or answers to the questions above. I'm very interested in getting bluetooth/iPod integration done soon. Thanks for your help, look forward to hearing from you.
1. OnStar Lock Pick will let you seamlessly integrate your bluetooth kit into your factory audio system, mutes the radio and using factory speakers during your phone conversation. so it will work just like if it came from factory. all of your factory functions such as steering wheel controls, etc. will stay and work the same
2. no Caller ID, with this set up. If You want caller ID (in Your case) you can purchase kits from Raytel or Parrot with separate display. However, with some phones such as Blackberry, Treo and few others, you will not be able to download your phone book into it. there are charts available on the web.I have those as well, and maybe in a few days I'll make a video or pics on how they work.you can check info on the link below

3. the way vizualogic button work is, you'll have to remove one of yours sigarette lighter, and it goes right in. comes with all special hardware
4. I'll be working on the video this weekend, so then You guys will deside if it's easy or not.
5. About Scosche kit, I've been following with Scosche inovations in the last 5 years, they had great ideas, but could never execute them. BlueFusion is going to be one of those. However, if miracle will happen, and they come out with that, $299 I can sell you that piece for. but you'll have to double check with them if that unit will support non nav radio. also, from watching their video, I could tell, that unit is not really user friendly as it looks. units like Raytel and few other, have more voice command features.
6. Don't know much about coastal unit, just heard few things here and there.
7. what kind of phone do you have ?
8. I sell iPod kit similar to the one from coastal. I have a video about it, but that vehicle had a Nav in it, I'll try to make another one with regular radio
