Analog onstar compatability

Some older analog based onstar modules, may not be compatible with the BlueSTAR, even when using the 'universal' interface cable. To verify compatability, look at the RED connector on the old onstar box. If it has a green wire in pin A3, then your vehicle's radio is probably controlled by the Entertainment and Control bus, (E&C) NOT CLASS2. Even though the rest of the vehicle is CLASS2 controlled, the radio is not. Unfortunately, the BlueSTAR does not support E&C control.
Please email me with any questions.

I have a 2005 corvette with a "digital ready" onstar box. It appears to be compatible since I don't see a red connector. Instead, there are 2 white and 2 black connectors labeled J1-J4. Is this unit compatible with the 2010 bluestar? Thanks for your help!
