Yes, I'm pretty sure that's correct.

Yea it is on and actively searching. I cant seem to find it. Do i have to start the search in my car or does it just detect the signal and ask to join?

Also, you can just check for the USB, and, 1/8" line-in connectors in the center-console storage area. That is part of the PDIM (linked above).

allright i am just gonna assume i dont have it. If i buy this http://www.amazon.com/CAMARO-BLUETOO..._cd_al_qh_dp_t Will this power the bluetooth to the radio to stream music to. and will it fit a 2011 Lt camaro.. i Just want to stream some tunes.

The link that you posted in your first post is what you need if you don't have the connectors in the center console. I believe you also need to get the radio reprogrammed to see it.

rrang · 12-10-2014, 09:21 PM

i do have the connectors in the center console. just not bluetooth.

sjmautoprod · 12-10-2014, 09:38 PM

This is a mystery!

Maybe the PDIM was added, but, the radio was not reprogrammed for it?

So, you have a USB connector? It looks like all cars had a 1/8" phono connector.

If you have a 1LT with the C&C package, 2LT, or 2SS you have the PDIM module

That was taken from this thread.

Do you have the audio controls on the steering-wheel? That is part of the C&C/2-level cars package.

rrang · 12-10-2014, 09:58 PM

no steering wheel controls, yes both the usb and aux ports are in the center console. im glad im not the only one confused . if i pulled out my PDIM this week end and looked at the serial Number would that tell me what i need to know cause im about to through my ipad from all the research i have been doing

We're making progress!

No steering-wheel controls means that you don't have the C&C package from the factory, but, USB is only on cars with the PDIM, so, it seems that you have the hardware. I'm thinking that the radio was not updated after the PDIM install.

You can get the radio reprogrammed, or, just add a Bluetooth adapter like this one to connect to the line-in...

No endorsement, just found it in a quick search.

rrang · 12-10-2014, 10:38 PM

So just go do a dealer and tell them I need the radio updated for the PDIM and they will know what I'm talking about

rrang, are you anywhere near Savannah GA?

rrang · 12-10-2014, 10:54 PM

No ... southern California about 2 hours north of LA wish I was

rrang · 12-11-2014, 09:14 AM

Turn out that USB port in my center console was just a plug for charging in the center console when I pulled my USB out it ca me out leaving a socket... so I guess I'll just buy the parts
