Bluetooth VCIM on 2008 w/ Bose HU

Several folks on another forum have been successful in swapping in a 2009 OnStar VCIM to get BT on 2008 cars. All of them, however, have had Nav HUs. (The BT VCIM has p/n 20787107 and costs about $250. It drops right in.) But when I tried it with my MY2008 equipped with Bose HU, it didn't work. The phone could see "General Motors" but the steering wheel button could not initiate the pairing sequence. The dash button got "OnStar Ready", but it wouldn't pair no matter what I said. I finally returned the VCIM for credit. I'm guessing the chip that decodes the SWBs is in the Nav HU. It's a known problem that the phone SWBs just don't work on 2008s with Bose HUs. I'm not eager to swap HUs. I suspect it would be too expensive. Does anyone know a way to make this work?
