DETAILS
With this kit, you can connect a
Bluetooth
enabled cell phone that supports HFP (Hands Free Profiles) and listen to the conversation over your car speakers, while speaking through the microphone that comes with the kit. You can also use it to stream music from your phone wirelessly if your phone supports A2DP. What's more, you can control the music on your phone from your radio and/or steering wheel controls using AVRCP wireless audio controls, provided your phone supports it.
There are also two extra ports on this device which will allow you to connect a 30-pin iPod cable and/or an auxiliary input (3.5mm headphone jack) with a USB charging port. Those two cables are optional and are available at extra cost. Please see the
Optional Cable Information
section below for more information.
This is the trunk-mount version.  They have another version (which we sell in a separate listing) that mounts behind the radio.  Trunk mounting requires less installation time because you don't have to remove your radio like you do with the standard cable that comes with the stereo mount version.   In order to use this trunk-mount option, your trunk must be pre-wired for a factory CD Changer.  If you have a Changer connected, you will have to disconnect it, as noted before.
This product works in CD Changer (CDC) mode.  Consequently your radio MUST be remote CD Changer capable.  Your remote CD Changer (separate from radio), if so equipped, would need to be disconnected to use this product
.  Please see the Application List in this ad for additional information on compatibility.  We recommend you contact tech support for the manufacturer or visit the gromaudio website to determine exactly how it's going to function in your vehicle with your options.  Among other things, they have a Support/FAQ link on their site that contains useful information.
OPTIONAL CABLE INFORMATION
Unlike some competitor's products, this interface includes
two
extra input ports so you can add an iPod and/or an Aux cable. These cables are available in separate listings.
Here are the details:
If you purchase the optional GA35CBL-U, you can add any external device that has audio output in the form of a 3.5mm stereo-mini headphone jack. (This includes, but is not limited to: mp3 players, satellite radio, CD changers, DVD players, video game systems, etc). This will allow you to listen to the output from that device through your car speakers. It also includes a USB port for charging
only
. Use it to charge your device while you have it connected to the aux cable. The Aux cable does have a proprietary Grom connector on the end that plugs into the interface, so you do need to use the Grom cable if you wish to add add Aux.
If you purchase the optional GAIPDCBL
iPod
cable for this device (available in a separate listing), you can listen to it over the radio, charge it at the same time
and
control some
iPod
functions through the radio. The
iPod
cable has a proprietary Grom connector on the end that plugs in the interface, so you do need to use the Grom cable if you wish to add
iPod
functionality.
We recommend you visit the gromaudio website (and/or contact tech support) to determine exactly how it's going to function in your vehicle with your options.
