if i use a swips with the d3, will i be able to program one of my steering wheel buttons to work as an answer/hangup button after i install the bluetooth add on?

fyi i have a cadi with a button on the steering wheel that has a picture of a "face talking".

when i had my stock nav in. it was used as a way to mute the stereo.

all i would care for is programing the steering wheel controls to control the volume up and down, preset up and down. next song up and down, xm presets up and down and possibly band and source.

will it be possible?

does anybody know? can someone please help me out a little.

Does the face talking button engage on-star or not. if so if you used that button it would enable on-star and do a radio function at the same time As for answering a phone call. The D3 is only capable of around 9 remote functions and answering calls isn't one of them. you can set the D3 to auto answer every call though

thanks for replying

the face talking button did engage the onstar phone option only, not the onstar service. when i had my stock unit it muted the stereo, and i was able to dictate commands to my onstar system phone system such as phone numbers to dial, stocks,etc.....

i saw the pioneer steering wheel remote cd-sr1 (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... ies/CD-SR1) and it has bluetooth answer/ hang up buttons along with others.

i know it says its for the z1 and z2 but can it be used with the d3?

if so, wont i be able to program buttons on my steering wheel to work as IT does?

when using the swips, will i be abl eto program the steering wheel controls to control the volume up/down, preset up/down. next song up/down, xm presets up/down and possibly band and source?

It appears that unit is only Z series compatible. You will be able to program the swips to do the other commands mentioned but still no way to answer via steering wheel. You probably wouldn't want to use the on-star phone button for anything but its designated purpose because it will enable the voice activation mode. But that is up to you.

well guess it wont then.

however, are you saying that i CAN program any function i want to that "face talking" button?
