F700BT Install in 2008 Corvette

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.

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
