Bluetooth module fit in nicely in place of the OnStar module and used the existing microphone.

Only problem was waiting nearly 6 weeks for the replacement dome light piece from Audi.

mine was changed, but they failed to call on-star with new Numbers, and it of course failed again.
red within a week. They would not listen when I told them they needed to get the 'special' replacement which was re-engineered to not have the charging defect.
That is why my next car will be a Honda. Honda's electronics work, Honda's Don't usually break, but when they do....Honda can actually fix it.

I figured I never used it, OnStar analog system going away soon (so I hear)...
so why not use the existing wiriring for something useful like BT (assuming you have RNS-E)? Super easy swap and it is something I use daily.

Not Normal...but drivable....rebounds twice with stopping, rebounds twice on bumps
better but not normal and will only be 'normal' if I dump several grand into an aftermarket suspension...
just riding out the rest of my lease - 18 months....then the 'next' guy can worry about the DRC and On-Star BS.
