Introduction: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 BKR-HF kit is compatible with virtually all

Bluetooth phones, and sounds great whether using it for mobile

conversations, streaming music or listening to an audio device (e.g.

Mp3 player, Sat Radio etc.) connected to the AUX 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.) to initiate phone calls and launch applications. Thanks

to the BKR-HF Kit you can keep the radio and car you love

enjoying Bluetooth features only available on newer cars.

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.

One of the most important steps in this process is to enable the AUX
function within the Becker radio menu. Most Becker radios are pre­programmed to recognize a CD Changer connection and because of
that you must perform the following steps and change that setting
from CD Changer to “AUX” otherwise the adapter will not perform
as intended.
