My understanding is that the phone bluetooth is integrated into the OnStar module. Cars without C&C just have a slightly different OnStar module than those with it.

I'm guessing they don't mention it due to the confusion it would cause (this thread being an example). When people hear "bluetooth" they automatically think "talking on cellphone" when bluetooth is much more broad than just that. Everyone would think that it allows you to use the car stereo for hands free calling which it will not. It's entirely possible but I do not see them providing a different PDIM module that does not include the bluetooth chip (which supports A2DP only).

I still dont see where the bluetooth comes in for the audio, I understand the phone part.
but if you have a usb plug in for audio why would you need bluetooth for music transmission?

It transmits the audio signal sans wires over bluetooth. Instead of plugging your iPhone, etc into the console, you can play stuff without plugging it in.

I agree that it has very minimal use in this application since you'd likely want to plug it in and charge it as well. The one thing it's cool for is I can stream Pandora over bluetooth from my phone. It's just another option, just like plugging it in via aux vs USB. Many would say, what's the difference?

I'm planning to ask if they can tell me what's in the kit so I know what I'm missing.

Yes it is but not everyone can afford all options, we have to pick and choose.
And hopefully later can add some of the options we missed out on.

Actually, even the Zune sends over the audio in uncompressed format just like the iPod.

That's interesting. Odd that it does that but the deck has to run the index still?

Also very true!
