Created June 9, 2020
Revised: March 14, 2021

Introduction:
This easy to install Bluetooth “triple play” kit is essential to keeping your classic
as stock possible with up-to-date Bluetooth features. This module sounds great
for mobile conversations, streaming music, AUX playback and more. The included
media button is used to adjust smartphone/tablet volume, pause, play, start/end
calls and more and is easily mounted to steering wheel or dashboard. In addition,
an optional USB “Fast charge” kit is available to charge those power-hungry
devices while on the road as well as optional button microphone.
Keep original radio and CD changer while enjoying Bluetooth features only
available in newer cars.
Note: The A2DIY-JAG98R does not interfere with the functionality of existing
AM/FM/radio, but requires and retains use of the 6-disc auto changer.
