Added Bluetooth Audio Streaming

[The Critic]

I added Bluetooth Audio Streaming, Hands Free Calling and USB charging to the Accord in my signature. USASpec makes a great plug and play kit. The control unit stays hidden inside of the glove box and the unit connects to the radio itself. No splicing was required (correct adapters are included) and this set-up allowed me to retain the OEM radio. The Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth call quality are both excellent. I should have done this a lot sooner!

I've spoken very highly of this kit before

I have there Toyota version in my Camry, it's superb

Much better then a waste of time GROM audio kit I bought, then returned

Now if you want factory style SiriusXM, I've got another trick for you

They make nice stuff.

I have USA spec integration with my 07 MDX stereo system with an old iPod. I really like it.

Looks like a very well made kit. I will have to look into it for my Mazda 3. Thanks for sharing!

Well, nothing for Mazda

Great...

I fitted a double din satnav bluetooth in wife's Captiva last year.

Back in the day, swapping the AM/FM for a radio/cassette player was the thing to do.

Modern stuff is way more complex, but amazingly easier.

That is nearly similar to the way iPod i integration works using audio/Nav controls, xm, and that HIDEOUS display. Honda/Acura did not even try to hire someone to do UX on that.

USA Spec makes nice stuff generally. I also have one of their i-pod adapters in the Toyota. It works nicely. The Toyota has bluetooth but it will not stream music, it only works with phone calls.

I should check into if this will work for it, I’d actually rather stream it over bluetooth....

That is my only complaint with them is it is hard to actually understand the capability of the adapter... Though I concede it may be due to the myriad of versions of the audio system in Toyotas.
