RE: Scosche Bluetooth Installed
So I did the install. I've been reading that a lot of you love this BlueFusion, and that it's working fine. Maybe it's just because I'm using a newer BlackBerry Bold but everyone says that I sound horrible. I'm thinking that it's just not pairing correctly with the Bold. I gave up on it.
If anyone want's to buy a BlueFusion unit, let me know.

RE: Scosche Bluetooth Installed
Did you call tech support? One of my coworkers had the sme problem, he had a wire that wasn't connect good. Now he runs his bluefusion and his Ipod lock pick with no problems.

By the way, tech support is only semi-helpful.
If you get a chance please have your coworker give us more details on how the two pieces are co-mingling. To me in theory, I don't see how it works. The iPodLockPick and the BlueFusion both use the XM comm port. To access the iPodLockPick module or the BlueFusion module, you hold down the bottom seek button. So here are my questions, if you have them both plugged in, daisy-chained if you will, and you hold down the bottom seek button, how does it know which module to communicate with? Is it the first one in-line from the head-unit, or the first one in line from the XM module? As I'm tying this I'm thinking maybe you can pair your phone first with just the BlueFusion module plugged in, then do the daisy-chain because at that point you wouldn't have to get into the BlueFusion menu again. If you hit you bottom seek button and get the iPodLockPick then you could be good. At that point answering the phone is all automatic anyway, and again in theory the iPod control is just like it being on an XM station. The more I think about this the more I feel it may be a possibility.
I'm going to re-seat my BlueFusion plug to make sure all of the connections are good. I'm hoping that might be the problem with the poor Bluetooth reception, if not it could just be the phone itself. (No one in these post that claim their Bluetooth is working so great, ever specify the actual type of phone that they are using.)
I'm also going to daisy-chain them, switching their order as well, to see if this works with any success.

RE: Scosche Bluetooth Installed
Today I tried the method that I talked about in the above post and it does work. I ended up putting the BlueFusion on the XM module side, and the iPodLockPick on the head-unit side. It did not work the other way around. If you're listening to XM or your iPod when the phone rings it will switch to the BlueFusion. When the call ends it will revert back to XM or iPod, whichever one you were listening to, to start. To get to your iPod from the XM radio, you hold down the bottom seek button and it goes to BlueFusion, you hold the seek button down again, and it will go into iPod mode. It's kinda' like a slow double click. To get back to the XM radio, you just use the iPodLockPick menu. So again it does seem to work. I'm pretty sure Scosche doesn't want you to know this because they don't want to support a competitors iPod adapter over their own.
Now the bad news is, people say I still sound like crap and that they can't hear me. I pulled the BlueFusion plug and reinserted it just to make sure it was making contact. Like I said, I think it's a problem with my phone itself, it's just not getting good Bluetooth reception. Next time I have a friend in my truck, I'll pair up their phone and see if it makes the difference.

RE: Scosche Bluetooth Installed
Do you have to use your phone to answer / hang up ? how does it work? does it use the phone button on my OnStar?
I'm about to let the Onstar go and do like the hands free part of using a phone without having something hanging off my ear

RE: Scosche Bluetooth Installed
The Radio controls on the steering wheel control the Bluefusion?
If that is the case then it really does make sense to intergrate the microphone so it appears factory all the way....
