If looking to preserve your American classic as original possible while also being able to stream music from smartphone; look no further.
Wouldn't it be nice to simply step into your ride and be able to play music apps from smartphone without wires or cables dandling from the dash? Just because you drive an older car does not mean you have to settle for old technology and many have have opted to install a $30 cigar lighter FM transmitter (which has been around for decades), and not what we consider "new technology" while others suggest replacing radio; but does any of this add value to your American classic? Enter the BLU-C5. Our BLU-C5 Bluetooth music streaming kit is assembled exclusively for C5 Corvette owners who want to keep the original radio while also being able to stream internet music (Pandora, Spotify, XM radio, Apple music), audio books, GPS and and other important application while on the road to work or cruising around town without altering the look and feel of the dashboard or investing in a new radio. For added convenience an optional smart remote and charging port can be added (Click installation guide link below for details).
Some vehicles may include optional trunk mounted 12-disc changer, and if so it must be disconnected; however, our A2D-C5 streaming kit retains use of the 12-disc changer.
