    BT3-C5

Instead of hacking the dash of an American classic for the sake of adding Bluetooth; fancy our BT3-C5 Add-on instead!
Any 1997-04 Corvette owner looking to add Bluetooth features to their American classic will be thrilled to know this "triple play" module is able to upgrade the factory radio to support Bluetooth without needing to hack or change the original dashboard or it's components. The BT3-C5 (formerly A2DIY-C5) supports: (1) Hands-free profile: (HFP) which is not only less distracting than trying to juggle a phone while steering but the only legal way to do hold mobile conversations in many counties and states. (2) Audio streaming: (A2DP) allows users to wirelessly stream applications (Apple music, Pandora, Spotify, Deezer, Tune In, turn-by-turn directions, SiriusXM, Podcast and more). (3) Charging: The integrated USB power port (5V/2.1A) allows users to keep those power hungry devices charged while on the road and best of all, the familiar radio "SEEK" buttons are used to change tracks and also accept/reject phone calls. After initial pairing, the module (hidden behind the dash) automatically connects/disconnects the paired device as soon as the radio is turned on/off. The BT3-C5 is the perfect addition for those C5 owners who want to preserve their vehicles originality without breaking the bank or altering the dashboard components.
