That sounds like a very cool concept! Not sure if anyone has done that mod, but if you go forward with it, you have to share details and pics.

I am not well versed in the new GM products. Does MyLink simply add ability to link your phone via bluetooth to a touchscreen factory radio?

I have the MyLink in the Equinox and it has a touch screen that you use for the radio, heater controls, XM, backup camera, phones. I think it would be a difficult mod for sure, based on the stuff it controls, unless you are a wizard.

Thanks Drivernumber3! I agree, it definitely sounds difficult. I believe the 06/07 Montes and modern GMs with MyLink use CANBUS. If that is true, that could be a good start to this mod. The next question would be if the MyLink communicates to the HVAC systems the same as the Monte does.

Admittedly, I am a geek who loves reading about projects like this. Whether they pan out or not, I love reading about the research and any tests to make it happen.
