Created May 5, 2016
Revised August 4, 2020

Introduction:
Many older Cadillac, Oldsmobile owners will be pleased to know they are able to
upgrade audio system to support Bluetooth music streaming and retain use of
the required CD changer. That’s right! No longer will you have to sacrifice the
changer in order to add Bluetooth. CD changer is required and remains
connected. If vehicle does not have a working CD changer, purchase our
BLU-GM2.
A Bluetooth wireless connection means no wires, clutter or complicated setup.
User simply connects module to factory 10-pin plug, pairs audio device and enjoy
music, GPS apps, audio books, internet streaming services and more. (Not for
hands-free calls)
See Frequently Asked question at the end of this guide for details.
