Important Compatibility Notes:

  • NOT for PCM 3.
  • If a factory CD Changer device is installed, the BTR-3 kit is compatible.
  • If a PCM unit has BOSE, the BTR-3 is compatible.
  • For CDR-24 with CD Changer in the frunk, or with dealer/shop reprogramming (Many dealers/shops do not know how to activate).  On some PCM units the CD Changer (CDC) feature must be activated by dealer, or shop with a PIWIS or Durametric device – contact your dealer or shop to see if this is possible.
  • Some cars did not include factory CD Changer – but are “CD Changer Ready”, these cars are already compatible with the BTR-3 and do not require dealer activation.  This information would be listed on the window sticker for example.
  • CD Changer in frunk will be disconnected and cannot be used.
  • Phone book sync not supported.
  • On some PCM units, factory phone module must be bypassed if you do not intend to use it.  Select the BTR-3-PM Kit for cars with hands free factory phone module to use the supplied microphone.
