Very Strange.....I don't think the Bluetooth and OnStar are inter connected (although I could be wrong) I belive the Bluetooh hardware/software is in the radio and not in the mirror.

I would say your best bet would be to go back to the dealer....My bluetooth works great, and I set my onstar up on the weekend and didn't have any issues.

malibudragon - Are you able to make a phone call with your bluetooth? The radio gives you the access code you need in order to let the car and phone your phone connect. It should than also prompt you for a voice recognition of your bluetooth device.

I have to admit....GM did a crappy job with informaiton for setting up bluetooth....I couldn't find anything in the manual and had to just wing it to make it work....figured it out after a while.

Also it is my understanding the phone button on the steering wheel is only for your bluetooth and not for OnStar. In order to activate OnStar you have to push the button on the mirror....I could be wrong but I haven't really used OnStar while driving yet.

Yes the bluetooth worked over the weekend. I just hit the steering wheel button, say Bluetooth then pair and it synched right up with my phone. Im not getting anything now, It only mutes the radio and then just sits there. The same for the ON star system, You hit the onstar button, it mutes the radio and then just sits.

Have you tried giving OnStar a call? Maybe they can run some diagnostics for you before you take it into the dealer? Just a thought.

Ok I just got home from work and tried everything and it all works, I connected up and spoke to an adviser and was able to set my on star up.. Apparently everything was shut down in between the weekend and today, I originally had the car on a weekend test drive and everything worked and then nothing worked last night but everything is back on today..

I officially went in to the dealer today to sign and pay for the car!

So all is well and the car is mine now :D
Congrats!!!! Glad to hear it was a small glitch! Also glad to hear everything is working correctly now....Enjoy you new baby!
