I have installed a Nav unit...#25846421 in a non-Bose Impala SS. Using aftermarket amp and AOEM-GM1416 amp interface. I just received the unit back from programming and all works as it should but I am getting EXTREMELY loud turn signal chime ONLY. All door, key, and seatbelt chimes are in line with music level, but turn signal is loud enough to blow a speaker. Is this something that programming could take care of? Just confused because all other chimes are normal level with music, but turn signal is unbearable, and if I swap back to non-Nav unit …all chimes are in normal level. Thoughts?

I recently purchased an 09 chevy tahoe with the bose system and no rear entertainment or Nav, and Upgraged it with a OEM Nav radio from Ebay. After having to swap the radio out because it was a "european unit" and was not compatible with blue tooth or onstar, I now have a radio with all functionality except the voice recognition. My turn by turn works and everything.( turn by turn just got fixed yesterday when my dealer hooked up the green vehicle speed sensor into the BCM... or something like that.) The odd part is that if you push the hands free phone button through onstar, the voice recognition works. It will even access tags I had stored when using the stock radio...but if I try to punch the voice recognition control on the steering wheel to access stored name tags through my cell phone as I had before with the stock radio.... it says "no speech detected". And when you the punch the button, it only beeps, I believe with my stock radio it basically it prompted you to give it a command. But the blue tooth works if you dial it through the cell phone, and the number even shows up in the information screen above the steering column. I really would like to have this functionality particularly for storing the routes... and making hands free calls, not through onstar, but through my cell...

Anyone have any idea what I might need to do?

Not sure the OEM system has the capability to voice dial thru blue tooth. Does the owner's manual shed any lite on this?

According to the Onstar manual that came with my car, it doesn't specifically address the issue, of blue tooth handsfree dialing, but the stock radio I had with the single disc changer and XM did allow it. In addition, I should be able to use voice commands with the navigation, I would assume, other than through onstar, correct? Or at least that is what it appears from the manual.

I've been told that 08 and back units don't work with the bluetooth. I've never independtly confirmed this, but have seen enough evidence to believe it. If you get a unit that is '08 and back, in all likelyhood you will not have bluetooth for the unit even if your truck has it.

73shark

That's correct. the 09s were the first w/ bluetooth.

Hold the voice command till it beeps- say "onstar" -it says onstar ready - say "bluetooth" it says bluetooth ready. Now you can use all th bluetooth commands like you did before.

Bluetoothฎ Vehicles with a Bluetooth system can use a Bluetooth capable cell phone with a Hands Free Profile to make and receive phone calls. The system can be used while the key is in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY position. The range of the Bluetooth system can be up to 30 ft. (9.1 m). Not all phones support all functions, and not all phones are guaranteed to work with the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. See gm.com/bluetooth for more information on compatible phones.

Voice Recognition:
The Bluetooth system uses voice recognition to interpret voice commands to dial phone numbers and name tags.
Noise: Keep interior noise levels to a minimum. The system may not recognize voice commands if there is too much background noise.
When to Speak: A short tone sounds after the system responds indicating when it is waiting for a voice command. Wait until the tone and then speak.
How to Speak: Speak clearly in a calm and natural voice.

Audio System:
When using the in-vehicle Bluetooth system, sound comes through the vehicle's front audio system speakers and overrides the audio system. Use the audio system volume ****, during a call, to change the volume level. The adjusted volume level remains in memory for later calls. To prevent missed calls, a minimum volume level is used if the volume is turned down too low.

Bluetooth Controls:
Use the buttons located on the steering wheel to operate the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. See Audio Steering Wheel Controlsfor more information.
(Push To Talk) : Press to answer incoming calls, to confirm system information, and to start speech recognition.
(Phone On Hook): Press to end a call, reject a call, or to cancel an operation.

Pairing:
A Bluetooth enabled cell phone must be paired to the in-vehicle Bluetooth system first and then connected to the vehicle before it can be used. See the cell phone manufacturers user guide for Bluetooth functions before pairing the cell phone. If a Bluetooth phone is not connected, calls will be made using OnStarฎ Hands-Free Calling, if available. Refer to the OnStar owner's guide for more information.

Pairing Information:
• Up to five cell phones can be paired to the in-vehicle Bluetooth system.
• The pairing process is disabled when the vehicle is moving.
• The in-vehicle Bluetooth system automatically links with the first available paired cell phone in the order the phone was paired.
• Only one paired cell phone can be connected to the in-vehicle Bluetooth system at a time.
• Pairing should only need to be completed once, unless changes to the pairing information have been made or the phone is deleted.
To link to a different paired phone, see Linking to a Different Phone later in this section.

Pairing a Phone:
Press and hold for two seconds. The system responds with "Ready" followed by a tone. Say "Bluetooth". The system responds with "Bluetooth ready" followed by a tone. Say "Pair". The system responds with instructions and a four digit PIN number. The PIN number will be used in Step 4. Start the Pairing process on the cell phone that will be paired to the vehicle. Reference the cell phone manufacturers user guide for information on this process. Locate the device named "General Motors" in the list on the cellular phone and follow the instructions on the cell phone to enter the four digit PIN number that was provided in Step 3.

The system prompts for a name for the phone. Use a name that best describes the phone. This name will be used to indicate which phone is connected. The system then confirms the name provided. The system responds with "<Phone name> has been successfully paired" after the pairing process is complete.
Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for additional phones to be paired.

Thanks! I need to read the manual again. I thought I was done once I got the phone paired.

FYI the microphone is located in the overhead console on the left side.

Would it make sense if I installed a 2009 Nav Unit that it would allow voice recognition with the blue tooth? I asked a "just answers" GM tech and he said that my tahoe would have to have the appropriate UPF option code factory installed, and that it was doubtful that my tahoe had this if it came with a base bose unit.... of course that base bose unit had blue tooth. So I guess that means there is a different UPF code for a NAV radio with Blue tooth? Any ideas?
