Introduction
Just because you drive an older car does not mean you have to settle for old
technology. The A2D-BLAU10 provides a Bluetooth streaming solution for any
A2DP smart device which then allows these radio owners to stream music
without wires. Most phones with Bluetooth 2.x, 3.0 etc. include the A2DP profile.
Installing this adapter to Mercedes Sprinter radio requires sacrificing the CD
changer (if present).
Also works on Blaupunkt DUAL AUX radios
