Hey guys, ive done a few installs but all were on older models before the whole automobile computers explosion..
I have an 08 malibu LT with OnStar. (No 6 disc changer).
At first I plan on just running power back to my amp, hooking up my aftermarket HU with the radio antenna adapter and the correct wiring harness for the 08. And running a remote and rca cables back to the amp. I know that without an axxess or some similar control module I will lose my volume and seek controls on the steering wheel (I will probably add this at a later date). After doing this is was wondering if..
1. I would lose my cruise control on the steering wheel
2. Lose my blinker sounds and other things of that nature
3. Lose my OnStar (not a huge deal, not subscribed anyway)
Bonus
4. Just out of curiosity, the new HU I am installing has bluetooth capabilities and an external mic. Is there any way to hook it to the OnStar mic rather than trying to find a place to wire the mic to?
Thanks alot guys in advance. I apologize if this is in the wrong spot or if all of this has been said a million times. I have read through tons of stuff that's helpful, just wanted to clarify a few things..
