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 new BT45-BKR kit is compatible with virtually all

Bluetooth phones, and sounds great whether using it for mobile

conversations or streaming music. The wireless remote control

button 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 BT45-BKR Kit

you can keep the radio and car you love

keep the radio and car you lovekeep the radio and car you love

features only available on newer cars.

Initial Radio Setup::::

One important step is enabling the AUX and Phone functions within
the Becker radio menu. Most Becker radios are pre-programmed 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.

Note:
