Does the 2012 Buick GL8 have Bluetooth?
2 Answers
It has Bluetooth functionality. Although the module is quite old, it can still be used normally. Below is the relevant introduction: Buick GL8: Since its debut in 1999, the Buick GL8 has undergone five generations of innovation and has won the favor of over 1.2 million users. In 2020, the Buick GL8 family launched three major series: the all-new Buick GL8 Avenir, GL8 ES Luxury, and GL8 Land Business Class, providing users with more diverse choices. Powertrain: The all-new Buick GL8 family is equipped with General Motors' latest Smart Propulsion technology, featuring the eighth-generation Ecotec 2.0T variable cylinder turbocharged engine and a 9-speed HYDRA-MATIC intelligent transmission. This powerhouse combination delivers 174 kW and 350 Nm of robust power, with a combined fuel consumption of only 7.9L/7.8L per 100 km.
I was driving the 2012 Buick GL8 Luxury Edition at that time, and that version did indeed come with Bluetooth functionality as part of the factory-standard audio system. You could access the Bluetooth pairing options from the radio menu, and after connecting your phone, you could make hands-free calls or play music. However, it's important to note that not all 2012 GL8 models have the same configuration; the Comfort Edition might have omitted Bluetooth. So when buying a car, it's best to check the manual or try to see if the Bluetooth icon appears in the system. I've driven several of them, and some lower-spec models couldn't connect, requiring aftermarket accessories to solve the issue later on. Since this involves safe driving, I recommend directly confirming the vehicle number at a 4S store to avoid any hassle.
