Crux BTGM-33 Bluetooth Hands-Free with Music Streaming (for Select GM Vehicles), Black

I installed this in my 2008 Silverado 2500. It works pretty well! As a musician I had put up with the XM Radio and AUX input for far too long. Got tired of paying XM so much, so thought I'd give this a shot to upgrade my truck.The BEST thing about this installation was when I started streaming music from my phone. It was like I installed an entirely new sound system in my truck! MUCH cleaner sound. The only minor drawback is what others have said. It sometimes is a bit quirky to connect, but once done it's gold! The hands free calling is clear and all steering wheel controls work as advertised! I'm very satisfied with this product.

I'm not very satisfied! I DO NOT RECOMMEND! the sound is not clear. It is delayed! Not good! I will keep ir because I don't wanna take my entire dash apart all over again. Believe me! Don't buy this! The ones you hook up one the cig lighter and to an empty radio station works better. Do not recommend!

I've had this module for a few months now so I can leave a review.I live up north, my truck sits outside, when it's cold out the module seems to need to 'warm up' when it's cold to work properly. Summer time now and it's been fine. I had a Note 9 to begin with when I got this module, got a 14 Pro Max now and the pairing seems to take longer vs Android. Worked good with my android but takes a few mins at least while driving to pair my iPhone.I use my iPad in my truck on some of those carmount mag pads and holders on the dash because it was cheaper to bring my iPad with on long trips vs buying a several hundred dollar Car Play compatible head unit.The Bluetooth box does NOT like multiple previously devices paired in the truck while connecting. I have to turn the BT OFF my phone before starting otherwise the interface box gets pretty angry. Like I've had to shut the truck off, turn off and back on both my pad, phone and truck, unpair the BT box from both, and pair again the pad to the truck. Then it takes a bit to get un angry and pair and stream again.Sound quality is okay, don't turn your device BT volume up past 3/4 or it is garbled.Wheel controls work fine, skip the next song with the arrow buttons.One other down side I've had is if I'm in a spotty area and don't realize it, I skip to the next song and the iPad or iPhone won't stream the song, the head unit kicks the BT mode out and goes to FM radio.Hands free calls work good, no complaints about that.Over all, I'd kind of expect more for $130, but not much you can do with a recession era GM head unit.2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT pickupFactory navigation head unit with disc changer built in.

It has some quirks as in not always connecting, but if you turn the radio off and on it usually connects. The most annoying thing is the sound it makes when it turns on.

Took less than 30 minutes to install and worked great on my 07 Tahoe Z71.

I don't have much to add regarding installation, sound quality, etc. It was a simple install and the sound is good. I have a 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche that has Bluetooth capability for phone calls but not audio. I have Onstar and XM but not navigation. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S20 and I read that I could pair it with two devices simultaneously. The blueLogic device paired easily with my phone, initially for calls and audio, but I was able to go into the Bluetooth settings on my phone and change that to audio only. I then paired my phone with my truck (calls only, of course.) With music streaming through the truck's stereo, I placed a call. It paused the music and placed the call through the truck's factory handsfree system. I turned off the truck and closed all the apps on my phone, then started the truck. The truck connected for calls and the blueLogic device connected for audio without me doing anything. I am very pleased with this purchase.Update: Now that I've been using it for a few days, I should clarify how it reconnects to my phone when I get back in my vehicle and start it. While the device immediately reconnects and resumes playing the most recently played song, it's only for a few seconds before I hear another tone and it pauses the song, indicating it has briefly disconnected. When I hit play again, it plays on the phone for a few seconds, then reconnects and starts playing through the stereo system again. I think this is the delay that has been mentioned in other reviews, but for me, it doesn't affect my phone calls because I'm connecting directly to the vehicle for my calls. That's a minor inconvenience in my opinion and I'm still very pleased with my purchase.Update 2: I have returned this to Amazon because the device eventually quit reconnecting to my truck's Bluetooth upon startup. When it is connected, it works great so I am revising my rating to 2 stars rather than 1.

What a great product! I didn't want to install a new radio and wasn't sure if the Bluetooth phone would work while also connected for music, and it does! I got rid of XM and stream music from my phone now and it works awesome!

The installation was easy, but I immediately ran into problems. As soon as I turned the key on, weird things started happening on my dashboard. Car wouldn't start. Strange error codes flashing, radio didn't work. I checked my installation to make sure I connected everything correctly, and I did. Problems still persisted. I had to uninstall and return.
