Exclamation Onstar Cell Phone Mod Successful (No Remorse)

Well, I got to it earlier today within an hour of work and somehow go it done. I went ahead and pulled apart an xbox live headset and used that as the beginning of the connection. The next step was running it behind the headunit and stripping the wires. I ran the microphone wires up through the dash, then the a-pillar, and eventually up into the headliner until it reached the factory microphone. From here, I disconnected the microphone harness and did a little custom wiring / soldering. I ran the earphone wire to the high / low converter that came with my cheap profile amplifier and then connected that to the AUX input RCA's in the back of the cd player. When I plug the earpiece jack into the phone, I can hear the person I am talking to in the front speakers while I listen to music in the rear. Vis-Versa if I choose to. It came out great and now the only thing I need to do is figure out a way to amplify the microphone so people on the other end can hear me a little better. Maybe I will play with the phone's setting and see what I can come up with. This was a sweet mod that cost me $3 for the solder. Found some at home afterward....go figure.

Heres the pics from the install. When all panels are put back on and the headphone wire is run neatly, I will post some more pics and a video so you guys can check it out.

The first 8 pics are from the install. Ignore the others unless you want to browse.

The good thing is that you dont need onstar for this install. I just happend to use the onstar microphone. You can use the XBL microphone if you wanted to and hide it somewhere or even install it mounted to the headrest.

That's a good idea man.

But that got me thinking, if I worked at OnStar, I'd randomly unlock someone's vehicle [that was moving so you know they are in it] or just cut out their radio and start talking to them....lol

Yeah, GF, best friend, and another buddy of mine said I was talking way to low though. I may need a mic amplifier of some sort. I'm gonna mess with the phone first and make some changes. The sound quality of the person you are speaking to is simply amazing. I am very pleased.

I know you want it in your car. Let me know. It's so much better than the bluetooth in my opinion. No connection errors or batteries dying. Not too mention no blinking blue light to annoy your eye.
