About the iSimple TranzIt™ BLU
Discreet Bluetooth
Discreet Bluetooth
There are a lot of ways to get Bluetooth in your car, but iSimple's TranzIt BLU adapter gets the job done without altering the look of your dash. It's a great option when you're perfectly happy with your factory radio but can't live without streaming audio. Once this tiny unit is installed behind your dash, you'll be able to hear streaming music and navigation instructions from your smartphone through your car's speakers.
Installation
iSimple recommends professional installation of the TranzIt BLU, but should you take on installation yourself, this unobtrusive unit makes things relatively simple. You'll have your choice of channeling the audio signal through your radio's rear AUX input using an RCA-to-mini-jack adapter (not included) or through its antenna input. If you choose the latter, you can program the frequency on which the TransitBlue will broadcast your Bluetooth audio using iSimple's app on your smartphone. Wire the unit for power, restore your dash, and enjoy the music apps you love.
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
TranzIt Blu: The iSimple TranzIt BLU (ISFM23) lets you add Bluetooth wireless audio streaming for Apple iOS and Android devices to almost any vehicle through your vehicle's factory or aftermarket radio's FM turn or Aux input.
Apple iOS & Android Compliant: The iSimple TranzIt BLU (ISFM23) supports Bluetooth audio streaming from Apple iOS and Android devices. Compatible Apple iOS devices include the iPhone touch (3rd gen & newer), iPhone (3GS & newer), and iPad (1st gen & newer). The iSimple TranzIt BLU is also compatible with many Android smartphones and tablets.
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 vehicle's factory or aftermarket 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 or aftermarket radio. The TranzIt BLU's male Motorola connector will plug into your factory or aftermarket 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 or aftermarket radio's auxiliary input (if equipped). An RCA-to-minijack adapter (sold separately) may be needed.
Bluetooth Operation: The iSimple TranzIt BLU (ISFM23) features built-in Bluetooth A2DP. Once connected to your vehicle's factory or aftermarket radio, the iSimple TranzIt BLU wirelessly receives audio from your compatible Apple iOS or Android device via Bluetooth, and then sends the audio to your factory or aftermarket stereo via FM radio or Aux input. Now, you can listen to stored music and music apps on your Bluetooth-enabled Apple iOS or Android device through your vehicle's stereo system. You'll will continue to control your music and music apps and view song/artist information from your Apple iOS or Android device.
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 Apple iOS or Android device. Make sure your factory radio is tuned to the same frequency.
Auto Interrupt + Toggle Switch: The TranzIt BLU (ISFM23) automatically interrupts the incoming antenna signal when in use, to deliver audio from your Bluetooth-enabled Apple iOS or Android device to your car stereo. To regain standard FM operation without interruption, simply pause the Apple iOS or 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 Apple App Store or Google Play Store provides full control of the iSimple TranzIt BLU interface through your compatible Apple iOS (4.3+) or Android (2.1+) device. 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 Apple iOS or Android device, but is not required for basic operation.
- On/Off/Auto: On (turns FM radio interface on and keeps it on while App is running), Off (turns FM radio interface off), Auto (automatically turns FM radio interface on or off according to Bluetooth A2DP activity).
- 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.
