The BT45 seamlessly integrates your vehicle’s OEM sound system with Bluetooth (HFP) devices for hands- free phone calls and media streaming. You can wirelessly connect your A2DP Bluetooth profi le equipped smartphone or tablet to play stored music or stream the audio from your favorite media apps such as, iHeart Radio,Pandora, Spotify, and YouTube. The built in echo & noise cancellation feature will give you crystal clear sound quality on your hands free phone calls. The all-speaker playback feature will give you a rich & dynamic music streaming quality. The BT45 has an additional 3.5 mm auxiliary audio port, so you can play music stored in your non-Bluetooth devices. It also has a USB charging port so you can keep you devices charged and ready to go.
The BT45’s plug & play technology takes advantage of the OEM radio’s ability to accept an external CD changer or Satellite Radio by converting it into a Bluetooth phone/audio streaming/AUX input source. This design innovation allows you to maintain functionality of existing factory installed options such as, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, LiveTraffi c, Navigation, CD changer, Satellite radio, RSE (rear seat entertainment system), and AUX/USB input.

| Emulation Mode | DIP Switches (down position is ON) | ||||
| #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | Music Info Display | |
| CDC default setting | ON | OFF | OFF | ON | Yes: radios with logo |
| CDC1 | ON | ON | ON | ON | Yes: radios with logo |
| MP3 | ON | OFF | ON | OFF | Yes |
| MD | ON | ON | OFF | ON | Yes |
| SAT | ON | ON | ON | OFF | Yes |
| DVD | ON | OFF | ON | ON | Yes: for 05 & newer vehicles with “MP3” logo Nav radio |
- If the radio has trouble recognizing the BT45-TOY, please follow the above chart and try the other emulation modes by changing the DIP switches accordingly.
- Use DVD mode for 05 & newer models equipped with navigation radios with MP3 logo printed on the face.
- For Delphi radios (radio face-code that begins with the letters “AD”, usually printed in white on the radio face) use either MD or SAT emulation mode.

Troubleshooting
- My vehicle has RSE and after connecting the BT45-TOY using the cable that came with the package the volume has become very low. For certain year model with RSE you’ll need to purchase a separate BT-TOYR cable (see p. 4-5).
- How do l know if my car has RSE (rear seat entertainment) system? If your vehicle has a DVD player in the back then it has RSE.
- My hands-free phone call volume is very low. First adjust your phone volume to MAX then use the radio volume controls to adjust to desired level.
- I’m unable to pair my smartphone/device.
- Delete/forget the BT45-TOY from your phone’s Bluetooth setting. Reset your phone and try the pairing process again.
- If you have an Android device, make sure the “Only visible to paired devices” option is UNCHECKED. Sometimes it can take up to 30 seconds for the BT45 to be detected by your smartphone/device.
- I’m unable to use my steering control media playback. The steering wheel control in SAT emulation mode is designed to perform PRESET changes thus it CAN NOT be used to answer call or to change tracks during media streaming. In some vehicles you might be able to preform those functions by press and hold the steering wheel control’s TRACK UP/DOWN button. If the steering wheel control feature is important to you then you heel controls to answer calls or can use the CDC emulation mode (you’ll need to make changes to the dip switch settings, see p.6).
- My radio is not displaying any music info such as song titles. Confirm that your device is equipped with Bluetooth profile AVRCP 1.4 or higher, it has ioS 6.0 or higher, or Android 4.0 or higher. Music streaming apps’ info display capabilities vary thus some might not display properly on your radio.
- The BT45’s USB port will not charge my device. Please use data SYNC and CHARGE (USB 2.0 capability) cables. Not all USB cables on the market support charging
- I have a device connected through BT45’s AUX input and the volume is very low. Turn the volume on the actual device to MAX then use the radio’s volume control to adjust the level.
