The Radio and OnStar are monitored by the BCM, so removing the stock radio will have confused it. Details in the link.

Hello Sandra Eldridge,

Your title says what kit you prefer... From what little I know about OnStar... "OnStar FMV" appears to be the (SMART) MIRROR
approach... My best recommendation would be to get YOUR
"FMV" from CRUTCHFIELD (see below)...

"PAIN-LESS AND WELL DONE"

I checked ontar.com and your car IS ON-STAR capable...

Sadly I always make things more complex than they need to be:
I don't think the LINCOLN "sound system" is inferior in ANY WAY... and think there has got to be a better solution than by-passing an already REALLY EXCELLENT human interface...
for a "SMART MIRROR" (FMV)... So BEFORE you choose THAT SOLUTION... I would ask you to find out WHAT SERVICES
are presently in your existing MIRROR.

CRUTTHFIELD technicians can do that for you... Phone them... Talk to them...

ELSE take it to your LINCOLN DEALER and ask what service THEY COULD equip in a new car... BECAUSE I can't park without my CAMERAS any more

(just kidding... never scuffed a tire!!).

Years ago CRUTCHFIELD offered a 3-SIXTY-3 solution for my NAVIGATOR... radio navigation system to integrate BLUETOOTH.
I was QUITE DELIGHTED to deal with their technical staff

I have felt the EXTRA SECURITY of knowing the VEHICLE is being tracked... (watched over)... and felt quite secure

I think onstar is a much safer choice than fumbling with your cell-phone trying to use siri while driving.

Hope it all works out well...

Sorry to pose another question while I'm supposed to be offering a solution.

Onstar is not a phone. It is a service. It cost you money. Push the green button and you will get Onstar/operator. They will guide you threw it. No Onstar, the module is probably bad.

Could be that the potentiometer is not tracking properly. If that is not it, then it is the chip that controls the volume at fault.

You must be refering to your mirror or the OnStar system?
The light next to my emergency button is Green.
I suspect that a Red light means your OnStar subscription has expired.
You may have to contact OnStar to renew your subscription and payments.

I was told by on star that if you leave the drivers door open for 90 seconds and then lock all of the doors and wait until the next day the system will reset itself. I know this sounds like smoke and mirrors but it does work. Please let me know. Hope this helps.

TAKE IT TO A DEALER THEY WILL DEACTIVATE IT FOR YOU. THERE IS A SPECIAL POLICY FOR ONSTAR DEACTIVATION. IT SHOULDN'T COST YOU ANYTHING.

Some radios have phone buttons that mute the speakers so you can talk on the phone. If you have Onstar and no active subscription it can also mute the radio thinking you are trying to talk to Onstar.

There is an integrated phone feature offered by OnStar if you want to pay the outrageous cost. It works through your speakers

The OnStar module is under the rear seat, passenger side. You should be able to just pull the connectors out of the module. Just the rectangular ones.

The dealer is thinking about the power amplifier for the Bose radio system. That's in the fender at the right rear of the car, but that's not the issue here.
