Bluetooth is one of the most popular wireless technologies, and we at Prestige Car Audio & Marine are experts in this field. We have been installing Bluetooth kits in vehicles before most people even knew the technology existed. The technology itself is pretty easy to understand. It is a wireless transmission of audio and data between two devices. In a vehicle, it is typically used for cellphones and portable electronic devices. There are millions of vehicles on the road without this technology, and we are here to tell you that we can integrate it with your vehicle. Here are some of our most popular products.
Bluetooth modules
Bluetooth modules are devices that can integrate seamlessly with your original stereo system and give you hands-free calling and wireless music streaming using the same controls you currently use for audio. The only thing we will add to your vehicle that is visible is the microphone, which is very tiny and usually goes near your rear-view mirror. Once you have paired your phone to the new Bluetooth module, the operation is simple. When you are driving up the road and get a call, the music is muted and your front speakers will ring like the sound of a telephone. You push a button on the radio or steering wheel controls to answer the call, all the while focusing on the road ahead. And when you want to stream your music wirelessly, you simply start the music on your portable device that is paired to the vehicle, push the appropriate button on your stereo and off you go. If you own a luxury vehicle like a Mercedes, Porsche, BMW or Audi, this product is very popular since replacing the original stereo may not be an option, or may be cost-prohibitive. Honda, Acura and Toyota are also popular vehicles for this upgrade.
Add-on Bluetooth kits
Add-on Bluetooth kits can work in virtually any vehicle, and Prestige Car Audio & Marine has several models, so you can rest assured that we have the right one for your needs. This product works slightly differently in that we install a hidden “black box” that goes between your original stereo and the car speakers. Under normal conditions, it just sits there passively, doing nothing. When a phone call comes in, it wakes up, mutes the music going to your speakers and takes control of them. The new device now allows you to carry on hands-free conversations and stream music. They come in a few different styles. Some vehicles can reuse their stock steering wheel controls, and some need a small controller mounted in a convenient location. We even have systems with full-color displays to give you Caller ID and control over portable media using a USB port and 3.5 mm jack. Now you can take a basic vehicle that you like and give it all of the modern connectivity.
Replacement radios with integrated Bluetooth
Replacement radios with integrated Bluetooth are still a popular option for many people. Now you can have something basic, or go all the way with integrated navigation, backup cameras and satellite radio.
We invite you to stop by Prestige Car Audio & Marine with your vehicle and get to know us better. One of our team members will work one on one with you to find the best solution for your needs. And we will install it with standards that meet or exceed that of the car manufacturer.
