Honestly, a new BT module seems like a waste of money if the main stereo can be replaced with a new, better, larger aftermarket touchscreen with built in bluetooth - that is, as long as the new unit still controls climate/seat heaters, etc...
Hope this thread is still alive - Have the exact same question/problem. My bluetooth has NEVER worked, and I'm dying to get some kind of replacement or aftermarket replacement where I wouldn't lose the OEM functionality (climate, seats, steering controls, etc.)
Has there been any movement/advances on this?? Please say yes...
Same. My bluetooth is non-functional since I owned the car. I was told the module was damaged (it was a salvage title - whole top/roof was crushed and rebuilt). I've been really wanting some bluetooth use so I can listen to something other than crappy radio stations. Haven't tried going to Car audio places yet but might soon... Just worried about losing all the touchscreen functionality (climate controls & heated seats, etc).
