While online last night, I purchased a Bluestar(from Costartech) to replace the Onstar VCU in my 2002 Eldorado. This is a really great product!
I just want to confirm that this will work in my application?
Thank you.
And did you get the Bluestar unit to work OK in your 2001 Eldorado? TIA!UberGeek wrote:I just installed the Bluestar in my 2001 Eldorado and had the same issue. With a lot of help from Chris, I was able to alter the wiring harness to accept the Bluestar. So far it works pretty well.
I was trying to save money by making my own. I got the connector plugs out of a junkyard, ordered new connector pins from mouser.com (Part # 571-175265-1) and used an $8 D-Sub crimping tool from RadioShack. Not quite as neat and tidy as factory but it works. Once I had all the parts, it took me a couple of hours.
Or, Chris used to make these and sell them for $35...maybe he will do the same for you.
Or, if you can find one in a junkyard, you can pull the harness from a 2003 CTS or DTS. I have heard the CTS is the same and if the DTS is not the same it will only need minor alteration. I think they are about $85 from the dealer?
