Introduction:
Safety comes first when you’re on the road, so having an intuitive
and easy to use Bluetooth kit is essential to reducing driver
distraction. The new BT45-BKR kit is compatible with virtually all
Bluetooth phones, and sounds great whether using it for mobile
conversations or streaming music. The wireless remote control
button conveniently installed on the dash is used to launch Voice
Recognition application (Siri, Google Now, Assistant etc.) to initiate
phone calls and launch applications. Thanks to the BT45-BKR Kit
you can keep the radio and car you love
keep the radio and car you lovekeep the radio and car you love
keep the radio and car you love while enjoying Bluetooth
features only available on newer cars.

One important step is enabling the AUX and Phone functions within
the Becker radio menu. Most Becker radios are pre-programmed to
recognize a CD Changer connection and because of that you must
perform the following steps and change that setting from CD
Changer to “AUX” otherwise the adapter will not perform as
intended.
