2012 sound system

[BumbleBeeSS2009]

My 2010 can stream music via bluetooth... seems strange that you cannot do this with a 2012..

Radio -> Aux button -> menu knob -> Blue tooth settings

(Something along those lines) you have to connect your phone to GM Music Connect and then you can stream via bluetooth...

Unless something changed from the 10/11s to the 12s

I stand corrected. Now that I paired it correctly, it works. Thanks for the info.

That is 7 years old...I am sure Boston made some upgrades in the last 3/4 of a decade.

Its really all personal preference with Boston Acoustics, some love it I dont. I think its not a good system but I always had issues with stock for all of my cars.

For thos3e who asked about the GM sub, do yourself a huge favor and check out Steve at ********s (www.********.com) setups. You will get a LOT better equipment for a lot less money.

If your car has bluetooth (2LT and 2SS standard) then you can stream music. I didn't realize that the convenience and connectivity option added to a 1LT or 1SS also added the bluetooth connectivity. If that is the case, and you want bluetooth, you must get it on the car as built by GM or prepare to beg your dealer and onstar too allow you to add it later...many are failing so you have been warned.

I actually like the Boston System with the addition of a 12" sub, 500w mono amp, and the ******** x3 wiring harness. I run mine with a remote sub volume control knob hidden under the dash to fine tune the thump added. It adds just enough bass that it balances nicely with the tweeters in the BA speakers. You can then turn the bass down on the head unit and not overpower the BA speakers and get a well rounded sounding setup. Yes I have had better systems that were all aftermarket but for a stock system this one really isn't that bad. Also the BA system having an external amp allows you to use the ******** wiring harness(s) and build onto the system. Without it and you are back to wire splicing, replacing all speakers, etc.

I know what you mean about not liking factory systems. This was my last one and I will probably get a replacement when my new car gets here...just saying that the Boston one has probably shown some improvement over the last 7-8 years.

Actually I think the system is quite nice for a factory installed unit. Not audiophile level, but good.
