• DO read the entire manual before starting the installation. We
recommend that the BT45 be installed by a qualied professional
since all installations will require the removal of some parts of
the vehicle such as the dashboard, backseat, etc.
• DO install the interface securely using Velcro or wire ties (not
included) and keep away from any moving parts such as the gas
pedal.
• DO NOT open, disassemble, or modify the BT45 in any way. Such
attempts will void the warranty on the product.
• DO NOT expose the interface to extreme temperature, humidity,
or direct sunlight.
• DO NOT operate the Bluetooth device while driving. Always give
full attention to the road while driving.
Product Overview
The BT45 seamlessly integrates your vehicle’s OEM sound system
with Bluetooth (HFP) devices for hands-free phone calls and media
streaming. You can wirelessly connect your A2DP Bluetooth prole
equipped smartphone or tablet to play stored music or stream the
audio from your favorite media apps such as, iHeart Radio, Pandora,
Spotify, and YouTube. The built in echo & noise cancellation
feature will give you crystal clear sound quality on your hands free
phone calls. The all-speaker playback feature will give you a rich &
dynamic music streaming quality.The BT45 has an additional 3.5
mm auxiliary audio port, so you can play music stored in your non-
Bluetooth devices. It also has a USB charging port so you can keep
your devices charged and ready to go.
The BT45’s plug & play technology takes advantage of the OEM
radio’s ability to accept an external CD changer or Satellite Radio
by converting it into Bluetooth phone/audio streaming/AUX
input source. This design innovation allows you to maintain
functionality of existing factory installed options such as,
Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, LiveTrac, Navigation, CD changer,
Satellite radio, RSE (rear seat entertainment system), and AUX/USB
input.

•My vehicle has RSE and aer connecng the BT45-TOY using the
cable that came with the package the volume has become very low.
For certain year models with RSE you’ll need to purchase a
separate BT-TOYR cable (see p. 3-4).
•How do I know if my car has RSE (rear seat entertainment) system?
If your vehicle has a DVD player in the back then it has RSE.
•My hands-free phone call volume is very low.
First adjust your phone volume to MAX then use the radio volume
controls to adjust to desired level.
•I’m unable to pair my smartphone/device.
1. Delete/forget the BT45-TOY from your phone’s Bluetooth
seng. Reset your phone and try the pairing process again.
2. If you have an Android device, make sure the “Only visible to
paired devices” opon is UNCHECKED. Somemes it can take up
to 30 seconds for the BT45 to be detected by your smartphone/
device.
•I’m unable to use my steering wheel controls to answer calls or
control media playback.
The steering wheel control in SAT emulaon mode is designed
to perform PRESET changes thus it CANNOT be used to answer
calls or to change tracks during media streaming. In some vehicles
you might be able to perform those funcons by pressing and
holding the steering wheel control’s TRACK UP/DOWN buon.
* If steering wheel control feature is important to you then you
can use the CDC emulaon mode (you’ll need to make changes
to the dip switch sengs, see p.5).
•My radio is not displaying any music info such as song tles.
Conrm that your device is equipped with Bluetooth prole
AVRCP 1.4 or higher, it has iOS 6.0 or higher, or Android 4.0 or
higher.
Music streaming apps’ info display capabilies vary thus some
might not display properly on your radio.
Troubleshooting

•The BT45’s USB port will not charge my device.
Please use data SYNC and CHARGE (USB 2.0 capability) cables.
Not all USB cables on the market support charging.
•I have a device connected through BT45’s AUX input and the
volume is very low.
Turn the volume on the actual device to MAX then use the
radio’s volume control to adjust the level.
