Introduction:
Just because you drive an older car does not mean you settle for old technology.
The A2D-TOY03 updates select 2003-12 Toyota/Lexus/Scion radios to support
music streaming connection from Smartphone, Tablet, Kindle and more.
What is also great about this module it its ability to retain factory options such
as XM subscription and/or remote CD changer* playback—so if your vehicle has
these options, select version that keeps them connected and functional. The
A2D-TOY03 module connects to the 12-pin port on radio and after a short paring
session, users are able to enjoy the best sound possible on the car speakers!
