category4 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I am planning to install the F700BT into my 2008 Corvette with the 6 disc Bose system. The car also has Onstar, steering wheel controls for the stereo, and XM radio. I would like to utilize the steering wheel controls and keep Onstar. I do not use the XM radio nor plan on doing so in the future. I would like any advice and input as to what cables, connectors, etc I might need for the install and to use an old Iphone as my Ipod. Thanks for any advice in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MP35N Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I have an 08 C6 base (no BOSE) with the F700Bt installed. My FM radio reception is weak, the AM is awful. Does your system have any problems? I already tried the 5v voltage regulator trick with no benefit. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
