twocoltbob Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I recently found out about the Galaxy 1000 Bluetooth communication devise and I am very interested in it. I have a 2005 Escalade that does not have Bluetooth and would very much like to find out if anybody has it and what there opinions of it are. Thanks in advance! twocoltbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 The first thing you should always do is use the SEARCH function We have had discussion on the GALAXY before Search "galaxy" and you will find some info, I just did Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twocoltbob Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Texas Jim, Thanks! I have just one question left unanswered. I have factory navigation and I am wondering if that will still function normally if this system is installed. I will call the Galaxy 1000 people on Monday and post their answer here so others will know as well. Regards, Twocoltbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twocoltbob Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Well, I spoke to Fred (owner of Galaxy 1000) this morning regarding the Galaxy 1000 system and he assured me that the Factory Navigation System will still function normally after his system is installed. I have about 100 minutes left on my On-Star account, and think that after they are used up I might give his system a shot. My wife has Bluetooth in her 2010 Buick Lacross and it is a great system. I do not have the same expectations for the after market system, but it should be reasonable close according to Fred. If I do install the system, I will report on the operation of it here on the forum Regards, Twocoltbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twocoltbob Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Well I finally got off my butt and ordered the Galaxy 1000 this week. I should have it installed and working by the weekend, so after a test period I will report on how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Jim Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Well I finally got off my butt and ordered the Galaxy 1000 this week. I should have it installed and working by the weekend, so after a test period I will report on how it works. Very good... I have thought of putting a bluetooth system in my 2006 DTS. The 2007 and newer had one...but the 2006 does "NOT" have it. I should use the OnStar minutes... I have about 1500 minutes I need to use up...

twocoltbob Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Yes, I received the Galaxy 1000 last week and installed it in 5 minutes. It works very well! The owner of the company Fred Small is a stand-up guy, calls right back if you have any questions, and told me if any updates in software come out, he will install them free of charge. The unit works just as it is advertised, and so far is clear and reliable. The only small inconvenience is that the phone button on the steering wheel won't work. You must push the button on the mirror (which by the way is exactly how he states it on his infomercial). That is one of the software updates he is currently working on. So far I am a "happy camper" and I would absolutely recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twocoltbob Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 This is just an update: I have had the Galaxy 1000 Bluetooth system for about two weeks now and I just wanted to let everybody (who is interested), that the system works quite well. I would definitely recommend it to someone that does not have Bluetooth and who plans on keeping their vehicle for a while, although the system should be capable of being transferred to another GM vehicle with On Star. It works so well, that I gave away my Motorola Bluetooth earpiece today. Regards, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to decide if and how long, I am going to keep the current car or if I am going to trade it for a new one pretty soon. Either way... I might get one. I have heard that the Bluetooth in the newer cars...sometimes works and sometimes don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
