Introduction

If looking to add Bluetooth® features to Porsche CR-1 or CR-2 radios you should consider the A2DIY-CR12 kit. This revised easy to install kit is essential to adding Bluetooth® features to older vehicles while keeping everything stock. This “triple play” module supports APTx “CD-like’ high quality audio for streaming music and sounds great for (1) mobile conversations, (2) streaming Pandora, Sirius radio, Apple music, audiobook, podcast and (3) CD changer retention OR an AUX input (vehicles without changer). Use included media button (remote) to adjust Smartphone: volume, track up/down/pause and more and can be mounted to steering wheel or dashboard. In addition, an optional “Fast charge’ USB port helps to keep devices charged while on the road. Thanks to the A2DIY-CR12 kit, Porsche owners can update to Bluetooth® without changing original radio.
