Introduction
The A2DIY-CHRY02 wirelessly connects mobile devices to Chrysler radio system
allowing for Smartphone hands-free calls, music streaming, turn-by-turn
navigation, and more. A wireless connection means no wires, clutter or
complicated setup. The A2DIY-CHRY02 plug-n-play solution connects to the 10-
pin CD changer/Sat radio port which guarantees to best possible sound. In
addition to Bluetooth, users can also connect and play other devices through the
module AUX input jack and use included wireless remote to switch between
sources, adjust volume, change tracks and more.
See Frequently Asked question at the end of this guide for details.
