BT-2.5
Bluetooth/AAC Adapter
User Operation
Manual
Congratulations on your new Aurora Design BT-2.5 Bluetooth/AAC
adapter. Combined with an FMR-2 converted radio, you can enjoy 21
st
century technology in your classic vehicle!
Setup:
Your radio may have come equipped with an internal
microphone. If not, before installing your radio back into your vehicle,
you may wish to plug the hands-free microphone or optional illuminated
pushbutton into the appropriate jacks on the radio. The microphone can be
placed in a convenient location in the vehicle, typically along the front
edge of the headliner near the rear view mirror or along the bottom edge of
the dashboard. The attached cable is 9.8’ (3M) long and can be routed as
required, typically behind the A pillar cover for headliner mounting.
Excess cable can be coiled and tied off.
The optional pushbutton assembly is not required when used with an
FMR-2 converted radio as the existing radio controls can be used to fully
control the BT-2.5. The pushbutton assembly can still be used with an
FMR-2 converted radio if desired, and must be used with all other
installations. The pushbutton requires a 1/2” (12.7mm) hole and should be
mounted somewhere convenient such as the bottom edge of the dashboard.
The pushbutton is illuminated with a red status LED that should be made
visible for easiest operation. The attached cable is 3.3’ (1M) long and can
be routed as required. Excess cable can be coiled and tied off.
Basic Operation:
Operation of the BT-2.5 is extremely simple yet
powerful. The BT-2.5, when combined with an FMR-2 AM/FM receiver
form a fully integrated AM/FM/Bluetooth/AAC solution. Communication
over a proprietary com-link keeps the two modules in perfect sync. No
external cables, plugs or switches are required. Full operation is provided
by the existing controls on the radio. When streaming music or handling a
phone call, the FMR-2 status LED will change color to indicate Bluetooth
operation. (see FMR-2 manual for more information on status LED) When
you stop streaming music or end a call, the BT-2.5 will put the FMR-2
back into normal operation. Everything is handled automatically.
The BT-2.5 supports SBC and AAC formats over Bluetooth. AAC files
offer higher quality and is the native format used by iTunes® and many
other popular music services. ACC files will play natively off compatible
Bluetooth devices.
The BT-2.5 will always return to the last mode it was in when the
radio was turned off assuming the Bluetooth device is still present. For
example, if the BT-2.5 was playing back from the Bluetooth when the
radio was powered off, it will return to playing back from where it left off
when the radio is turned back on.
The BT-2.5 supports
Voice Assist HD
which will clearly speak
messages to you to assist in the operation of the radio.
