Using a phone while driving could be dangerous and illegal in many states. The BTH-C5 module adds Bluetooth features to C5 with 12-disc changer.
If your C5 Corvette has a functioning 12-disc changer and looking to upgrade to Bluetooth; our BTH-C5 (formerly BTH-C5CD) module is for you! This easy to install kit allows these proud owners to stream applications and make/receive phone calls safely without the need for wires or cradles, all this while also retaining original radio and 12-disc changer (Vehicle must have a functioning 12-disc changer). Features: Hands-free Profile (HFP) is not only less distracting than trying to juggle a phone while steering but also the only legal way to do it in many states. Music streaming (A2DP) Use smartphone to stream from Pandora, Apple music, Spotify, turn-by-turn directions, audiobooks etc. and the required 12-disc changer remains connected and functional. Note: Instead of retaining CD changer playback; you may opt to have an Aux input jack for playback of non-Bluetooth (wired) devices (e.g. MP3 players, Satellite radio kits, iPods etc.) The New wireless remote control allows user to change tracks, adjust volume, switch between sources and more and the built-in charging port (5V/2.1A) helps to keep those power-hungry devices charged while on the road. After initial pairing, turn radio "ON" and module (hidden behind the dash) automatically connects to paired device. The BTH-C5 is the perfect wireless solution for C5 owners looking to add Bluetooth connectivity without breaking the bank or sacrificing the original radio or CD changer.
