BT45-HON3 Bluetooth Car Kit for Honda & Acura (2003-2014) - Wireless Phone Calls, Music Streaming & AUX Input - Compact Black Design - Perfect for Hands-Free Driving & Enhanced In-Car Entertainment

Update 8/13/20. I bgt this product in 2016 and the unit blacked out after 4 years. I pulled out the jack from the back of the unit and boom! Back in play! The dang thing is beast!! If this thing goes out permanently, I may have to get a new car. Lol. My Acura MDX is playing my music nicely as my phone conects seemllessly thru Bluetooth. 2016 review —> I ordered this product because I'm not ready to trade in my 2005 Acura MDX Touring yet. The truck has 140,000 miles and rides just as sweet as the day we purchased back in Dec 2004. Besides, we cannot afford an new vehicle at this point. My wife and I listen to pandora and Sirius through apps on our phone at home via portable Bluetooth speaker. The only problem we had which was pretty darn annoying was the fact that we could not connect through our factory stereo in the MDX. Bluetooth connection was not available for radio back in 2004. It would only connect for phone calls. We have a small portable speaker we would put on the dash board and connect via Bluetooth and it was not the same as listening to music via my Bose system.I ordered this product as I felt it was the only product which would meet our needs. Well! I was blown away and not disappointed! I watched a video on how to install the product. I ordered the item on Amazon on a Sunday nite. The product showed up at my door on Tuesday nite. I was so excited when I got home that I decided to install the darn thing outside my garage around 9pm. Lol. I used my iPhone over the visor as a flashlight while I began to remove the radio's double din harness. The removal was a bit tricky but simple enough. If your a handy person than you'll have no problem installing the product. I have an xm radio with no Nav so I had to install the BT-Hon behind my radio. There is no song tags as CD/AUX does not allow it. Only numerical tracks are shown. (Not a factor for me). After an hour and a half I was done! I ran the cable from the back of the radio and down thru the inside of the panel leading to the passenger side. Some people placed the box below the air conditioning controls above the radio. I decided not to as I would like to use the USB port behind the box and have it accessible (for charging only) so I decided to place the box under the corner end of the passenger side floor mat. I followed instructions to a tee. Running the microphone was the only nuisance as I had to run the thin cable from the inside driver side visor to the windshield frame down and across the front windshield tucked nicely so it goes unnoticed and down the passenger side and underneath. I never tested the item before I closed everything up. My confidence level was high due to some of the reviews I had previously read before ordering the unit. I paired the phone almost instantly. Just hit the CD/Aux button twice to get to the AUX position on your radio. Go to Bluetooth settings on your Celly and turn it on. Scroll down to the BT-Hon device and click on it. Your phone discovery will sound over your car stereo with "Connected." And boom! Your in! I raised the volume on my Celly so it will allow me to get maximum loudness from my car stereo. I click on the pandora app on my phone and began playing my music. I was blown away! WOW! I finally got my music life back in the Acura. Makes long trips bearable. (Regular radio tends to suk and has mediocre sound) I had discontinued my xm radio service years ago as it got to be so expensive. I have the app thru the family. I played it thru the radio and it was truly amazing. I played one of my playlists from my ITunes and was blown away once again. I do have great music!! Lol. I took the car on the highway for a final spin while I turned Aerosmith and enjoyed the clear sound of my Bose sound system. It's amazing how this small unit has transported my MDX radio into the current state of music listening in 2016. My MDX radio plays the same apps that my daughters 2014 Mazda 3 does. The next morning I had my wife pair her phone which took all of 1 minute. She played her pandora app and was also blown away. I called her on her cell phone, the ring was soft and the voice prompt switched from music to announcing the phone number coming in. I instructed her to hit the volume up tab on the steering wheel and the phone call was connected. She spoke and I heard her clearly on my phone. I spoke and voice was not overbearing in the car. It was very clear. I really can't say anything bad about this product. It is literally game changing. If you feel you cannot install yourself than spend the $65 at bestbuy and have them install it. Last two words: AWESOME product!!!!!UPDATE 11.25.2016:Still amazing! No issues at all. My wife actually watches music videos on her i-phone through her YouTube channel when we're on long trips and the sound is incredible. My Bose system still takes music to the next level. Please keep in mind the music suffers very slightly as its coming from an outside source but not enough to really complain. I just have to say... It is, what it is and we love it! I have recommended to friends and family and they are blown away by the product. Cheers and good luck!
