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.

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.
