DETAILS
With this kit, you can connect a Bluetooth enabled cell phone that
supports HFP (Hands Free Profiles) and listen to the conversation over
your car speakers, while speaking through the microphone that comes with
the kit. You can also use it to stream music from your phone
wirelessly if your phone supports A2DP. What's more, you can control
the music on your phone from your radio and/or steering wheel controls
using AVRCP wireless audio controls, provided your phone supports it.
There are also two extra ports on this device which will allow you to connect a 30-pin iPod cable and/or an auxiliary input (3.5mm headphone jack) with a USB charging port. Those two cables are optional and are available at extra cost. Please see the Optional Cable Information section below for more information.
This product works in CD
Changer (CDC) mode. Consequently your radio MUST be remote CD Changer capable. Your remote CD Changer (separate from radio), if so
equipped, would need to be disconnected to use this product. This will plug in at the CD Changer location in the glovebox. Please see the Application List in
this ad for additional information on compatibility. We recommend you contact tech support for the manufacturer
or visit the gromaudio website to determine
exactly how it's going to function in your vehicle with your options. Among other things, they have a
Support/FAQ link on their site that contains useful information.
OPTIONAL CABLE INFORMATION
Unlike some competitor's products, this interface includes two extra input ports so you
can add an iPod and/or an Aux cable. These cables are available in the UPGRADES section below. Here are the details:
- If you purchase the optional GA35CBL-U, you can add any
external device that has audio output in the form of a 3.5mm stereo-mini
headphone jack. (This includes, but is not limited
to: mp3 players, satellite radio, CD changers, DVD players, video game
systems, etc). This will allow you to listen to the output from that
device through your car speakers. It also includes a USB port for charging only. Use it to charge your device while you have it connected to the aux cable. The Aux cable does have a proprietary Grom connector on
the end that plugs into the interface, so you do need to use the Grom
cable if you wish to add add Aux.
- If you purchase the optional GAIPDCBL iPod cable for this device (available in a separate listing), you can listen to it over the radio, charge it at the same time and control some iPod functions through the radio. The iPod cable has a
proprietary Grom connector on the end that plugs in the interface, so
you do need to use the Grom cable if you wish to add iPod
functionality.
We recommend you visit the gromaudio website (and/or contact tech support) to determine
exactly how it's going to function in your vehicle with your options.
