Beta Testers Needed for Bluetooth Conversion

Ok, now I see, the kit you bought is a generic Tranzit Blu, with an added pigtail with the CD player connector at one end and a stereo plug jack at the other end, that plugs into the "cell phone headphone jack" from the Tranzit Blu kit. Glad that you like your set up. The whole idea is to convert these old head units to bluetooth.
The photo on the site isn't accurate.
There are no stereo plugs, jacks, ribbons, or bows. Just wireless Bluetooth that works flawlessly. If it were me, I'd examine one to see if it does everything I'm trying to accomplish before investing time and money into reinventing a well-designed and relatively inexpensive wheel.

You are incorrect. The model I have plugs into the CD changer port and is a very simple installation (other than routing the wire for the mic). It does NOT use the antenna connection and it does not require a separate power source. It automatically connects to my iPhone every time and works perfectly.

I have no affiliation with the seller or the manufacturer. I'm just a happy customer who wants to dispel incorrect information about a very good product.

I guess the solution that Dave is thinking about would be for Most systems as you're all sorted.
Im still interested to see what he comes up with. There are many options for the CDR220 but for the most systems there is only the transit via antenna and dension.

From my understanding of this thread, the OP has a solution for the CDR-220 but is unsure if it will work for the CDR-23. Please forgive my reading comprehension skills if I'm wrong. I'm old.

The beta kit works in Porsche with: Becker Traffic Pro, Mexico CD (7803, CC4325, CC4327, CD4337, CC4370), CR-22, CDR-22, CR-220, CDR-220. With an adapter, I can get it to work with CR-210*, CDR-210*, PCM1* with "AUX MENU" setting. 2 wires to tap into. That's it.

I guess you could always use that aux out to most amp unit. Ive been whinging a fair bit throughout this thread about most haha. On the hunt for a dension now so I can shut up about it haha.

I added BT (to stream music and take/recieve phone calls) quite easily and cheaply on my PCM1 system.
1. 3.5-BKRCD from Discount Car stereo (gives you aux input) ~ $30
2. mpow aux to BT reciever with mic ~ $18
Took 10 mins to setup and everything looks acts factory. The BT streaming quality is great. Only thing I had to give up was the CD changer.
