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 new BT45-BKR
kit is compatible with virtually all Bluetooth phones, and sounds great whether
using it for mobile conversations or streaming music. The wireless remote-
control button conveniently installed on the dash is used to launch Voice
Recognition application (Siri, Google Now, Assistant etc.) initiate phone calls and
launch important applications. Thanks to the BT45-BKR Kit you can keep the
radio and car you love while enjoying Bluetooth features only available on
newer cars.
