i just bought a 2011 rcsb and i'm looking at swapping out wheels for one with radio controls. I already have cruise, so from what i read this should be a plug and play swap. My question is, is it possible to add bluetooth through the OEM button while i'm doing this? Thanks in advance for the help.

Well for starters, you need the headliner microphone.

That's not a microphone, you are thinking of the small fan for the auto climate controls to detect the temperature.
Microphone is built into the rear view mirror iirc

Bluetooth is a feature of the onstar, not the radio. Onstar just manipulates the radio.
Since you have a '11 you should already have bluetooth already. Log into your onstar and say bluetooth.

Factory bluetooth uses the onstar mic in the headliner console, and if you don't have radio controls on your wheel, you don't have Bluetooth. You must swap vcim's for a Bluetooth one and also get the antenna that mounts to the back of the vcim. The previous thread I posted has mounds of info on this swap.
