A2D-BKR

Quick Start Audio Streaming Installation Guide

for Becker Radios with AUX Menu Option

Created October 1, 2015

Revised: May 23, 2019

Introduction:

Warning! C2-C3 slots are for the CD Changer or another Accessory. C-1 slot

(yellow) is reserved for vehicles with amplifier. The A2D-BKR adapter
replaces any accessory connected to C-3 slot.

Becker radio is popular in older European luxury cars (e.g. Porsche, BMW,
Mercedes, Land Rover, Ferrari etc.) and for those looking to upgrade to
Bluetooth without changing the radio, we offer the A2D-BKR Bluetooth receiver.
The A2D-BKR provides a Bluetooth Audio Streaming solution for any A2DP
Smartphones which then allows these vehicle owners to stream music without
wires. Most Phones with Bluetooth 2.x, 3.0 and 4.0 include the A2DP profile so
please check your phone to verify compatibility. Remember the A2D-BKR works

only on Becker Radios with an “AUX” Menu Option and replaces the CD
Changer (if present) however; to retain use of the CD Changer, purchase our

A2D-BKRCD instead.

See Frequently Asked question at the end of this guide for more details.
