ATTENTION COMPUTER GEEKS!!!!
I know that this has been discussed here before, however I was hoping that somehow there was new information available.
The goal I am seeking is the ability to use the internal phone as a blue tooth connection with my own mobile phones that are not verizon.
Logic says that if there is an onboard phone that already works, it is just a matter of making it communicate with other devices.
GM says it cannot be done. However, if what we really have is an onboard phone, then all we really need is:
1) the unlock codes from Verizon,
2) connect to a bluetooth adapter,
3) link it up with whichever personal bluetooth phones you wish to.
If all the phone hardware is already within the vehicle, it is only logical that if we unlock it and make it able to link with other bluetooth devices,
Before I receive the wise-ass comments about beeing a cheap-skate for not just using Verizon, please keep in mind that the Verizon plan available in my area of Mexico costs about $4 per minute and the way I talk it would be really expensive to do that way. I use telcel for local stuff and cingular for international.
I liked the sound quality of the onboard phone and just want to be able to use it in the car, so I can be a safer driver! :eek:
There has to be a way...
