Bluetooth is about the only way for a car/radio to interact with a cell phone and I never heard anything about the GTO having Bluetooth.POOK said:Does anyone know how this feature works? Owner's manual says the radio is made to interact with a phone. Doesnt say how.
Also, do these cars have a light around the ignition keyhole? Mine doesnt, or it doesnt work.
It says in the manual that there is an aux port to connect your phone to and it will use the car speakers and such, so there must be a way. You would just have to ask the Aussies because we are not familiar with where the location of this is and how it works, and neither is pontiac.AmesGTO said:Bluetooth is about the only way for a car/radio to interact with a cell phone and I never heard anything about the GTO having Bluetooth.
"The cellular phone connector is taped back to the main wiring harness and is located at the right front of the center console. To access the connector, removal of the right instrument panel lower extension side panel is required. A connector kit is required with mute output and external speaker functions. The connector provides constant and acessory battery power outputs and ground connection for the cellular phone. Radio telephone input allows the audio from a suitable hands-free cellar telephone kit to be reproduced through the radio speakers.AmesGTO said:It would have to be either Bluetooth or a 2.5 jack. I haven't seen the jack anywhere. If it had Bluetooth I think they would advertised it, plus having worked on the engineering side of Bluetooth products I know they should have been required to include the Bluetooth logo somewhere on the car radio.
So unless there is a 2.5 jack hidden somewhere in the car I'm guess GM's documentation people messed up.
Make sure you have the interior light switched on so it lights when opening the door... If its off the ignition light doesn't work....POOK said:Also, do these cars have a light around the ignition keyhole? Mine doesnt, or it doesnt work.

This is a great feature. Why bury this behind a panel and make it difficult.John Delore said:"The cellular phone connector is taped back to the main wiring harness and is located at the right front of the center console.

I remember hearing somewhere that there is wiring for and external cell antenna somewhere in the harness. Any OzKateers able to verify?POOK said:Who knows what other gems could be in there.

Does anyone have part numbers for the kit?
What a trip! I got a call from a Pontiac rep taking a survey on Monday night! Guy was pretty knowledgable about the car and, after telling him I was thrilled with the car, he asked about things that I thought could have been done better. I mentioned a few of the obvious things (coat hooks, faster-moving seats, climate control, better trunk design, more power (he laughed and said I wasn't supposed to have heard about the LS2)) and then I mentioned the hands-free thing.Huntress said:During a conversation with a Pontiac Rep taking a Survey last night I asked about this... he gave me a part number![]()
That is so totally what I want... I hope this pans out.Turbo_Tim said:My old man has a VY commodore berlina as a work car and has a hands free kit which is plugged into the radio. The kit he has also comes with a microphone which is located at the top of the A-pillar. Seems to work pretty well as it mutes what ever you were listen to before the call.
It was installed by the holden dealer I think.
