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 BKRCD-HF kit is compatible with virtually all

Bluetooth phones, and sounds great whether using it for mobile

conversations, streaming music or listening to the CD Changer via

the “CD” input. In addition, a USB Charging port is included to keep

your devices fully charged. One button with built-in mic

conveniently installed on the dash is used to launch Voice

Recognition application (Siri, Google Now, Assistant etc.), initiate

phone calls, launch applications and listen to the CD Changer.

Thanks to the BKRCD-HF Kit you can keep the radio and

The USB on main module is for charging only. Use your own

USB extension cable option or proceed to next step if charging is

not required.

The radio cavity in most vehicles may lack extra room needed to fit aftermarket equipment and because of that you will have to be creative when fitting this part. Extra length cables are provided to allow for flexibility.
