So you don't want to have unsightly wires hanging all over your dash? iSimple has you covered. Using the Bluetooth audio streaming technology, the TranzItBlu Bluetooth adapter receives audio wirelessly from your Android phone, then sends it to your factory radio.
Let's get connected
The TranzItBlu package includes an AM/FM antenna connection and a set of RCA outputs. You can connect the RCA outputs to your factory radio's auxiliary input for a direct audio connection, then hardwire the 12-volt power and ground connections for the iSimple TranzItBlu.
If your factory radio doesn't have an auxiliary input, you're still in good shape. You can use the TranzItBlu's FM antenna connection to link into the antenna connection on the back of your radio. That way, you're essentially "broadcasting" the audio signal to an unused FM frequency on your factory radio — you can choose from four selectable FM frequencies. If you live in a problem area, you can download a TranzItBlu app that lets you choose any frequency on the FM range, eliminating audio interference problems from other radio stations.
Important Note: If your factory radio does not have an aux input, please call an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to see if any antenna adapters or tools are needed to connect this Bluetooth module to your radio's antenna input.

Features
Overview: The iSimple TranzIt BLU (ISFM21) lets you listen to your Android smartphone or tablet through your vehicle's factory radio's FM tuner or Auxiliary input using Bluetooth technology. You'll be able to listen to stored music, music apps, audiobooks, podcasts, and more from your compatible Android device through your vehicle's factory stereo.
Compatibility: The iSimple TranzIt BLU (ISFM21) is compatible with Bluetooth-enabled Android smartphones and tablets. It can connect to almost any factory or aftermarket in-dash head unit which features an FM tuner or Aux input.
Installation Options: The iSimple TranzIt BLU features a wired FM transmitter with Motorola antenna input/output connections and is fitted with stereo RCA outputs, so it can connect to your factory radio via its FM radio or auxiliary input.
- For a wired FM transmitter installation, you will need to unplug your factory antenna from your factory radio. The TranzIt BLU's male Motorola connector will plug into your factory radio's antenna port and your factory antenna will then plug into the TranzIt BLU's female Motorola jack.
- Using the stereo RCA outputs, you can connect the TranzIt BLU to your factory radio's auxiliary input (if equipped). An RCA-to-minijack adapter (sold separately) may be needed.
Bluetooth Operation: The iSimple TranzIt BLU features built-in Bluetooth A2DP. Once connected to your factory radio, the iSimple TranzIt BLU wirelessly receives audio from your compatible Android device via Bluetooth, and then sends the audio to your factory head unit via FM radio or Aux input. Now, you can listen to stored music and music apps on your Android Bluetooth-enabled device through your factory stereo. You'll will continue to control your music and music apps from the Android smartphone or tablet.
FM Frequency Selection: The factory-set operating frequency is 88.3 FM. If an alternate frequency (106.3 or 87.9) is desired, the frequency may be easily adjusted using the selector switch on the side of the module. For full frequency tuning control, download the TranzIt Blu app for your Android device. Make sure your factory radio is tuned to the same frequency.
Auto Interrupt + Toggle Switch: The TranzIt BLU automatically interrupts the incoming antenna signal when in use, to deliver audio from your Bluetooth-enabled Android device to your car stereo. To regain standard FM operation without interruption, simply pause the Android device, and approximately 8 seconds later the full FM band will be accessible again. If manual power on/off control is desired, you can connect the included toggle switch to the TranzIt BLU's power harness, so you can manually turn the TranzIt Blu on or off at any time.
TranzIt BLU App: The free TranzIt BLU app from the Google Play App Store contains provides full control of the iSimple TranzIt BLU interface through your Android smartphone or tablet (requires Android 2.1+). The app allows for infinite channel selection, an auto power on/off, and manual on/off option. The TranzIt BLU app enhances control of the iSimple TranzIt BLU interface through your compatible Android device, but is not required for basic operation.

- FM Broadcasting Frequency: Provides full-frequency tuning control to tune the best performing FM frequency.
- FM Radio Region: Allows selection of FM radio region; North America, Japan, or Europe.
