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 A2DIY-BKRCD
works with virtually all Bluetooth enabled phones and sounds great whether
using for mobile conversations, streaming music and retaining use of required
CD changer. Keep vehicle, radio and CD changer while enjoying Bluetooth
features only available on newer cars.
Note: A working CD changer required and at least one disc must remain in
magazine. If vehicle does not have a functioning CD changer, purchase our
A2DIY-BKR instead.
