Add Bluetooth and other features to your factory radio
If you've got a Bluetooth phone, you're probably streaming music and making hands-free calls in your car. But if your factory radio doesn't do Bluetooth, what can you do? Audiovox designed their Carstream adapters to add Bluetooth capabilities and other features to the factory radio in a wide variety of vehicles.
The Carstream BT103AVW adapter adds Bluetooth functionality and SiriusXM capability to the factory radio in select Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. You'll be able to make hands-free calls, use voice activation (including Siri with iPhone 4S or newer), and stream music directly from compatible phones. The Carstream also includes a microphone for voice control and hands-free calling, while active echo and noise cancellation technology makes your calls crystal-clear.
Add a tuner for satellite radio
In most vehicles, you can add SiriusXM's SXV300 tuner and enjoy satellite radio reception through your Audi or VW's radio (requires firmware update and optional AACCSATCBL cable sold separately). You can also use an optional cable to convert the port into an auxiliary input. Give yourself the convenience of Bluetooth in a single, simple package.
