Bluetooth

[smflm]

In a 2007 Lincoln MKZ which has the THX Navigation radio system....I'm trying to install a Bluetooth CAr Kit. I have been told that there isn't a car adapter available that connects the bluetooth system to the audio system. I want to mute all speakers when an incoming call takes place. In order to do this you need an adapter to connect to the car audio. The other way I'm told would be to put a relay (2 per speaker) to shut off the car speakers when a call comes in. This is costly and time consuming to locate and re-wire in a THX sound system. Is there any other way to find that mute wire in the car audio and make it work with out the adpater????

Companies like Kenwood and Pioneer make those bluetooth setup right out of the box - but that would require you to ditch the "THX" navigation radio headunit.

Just an idea.

That's not an option........THX system has awesome sound with 14 speakers.....and customer wants that Navigation/THX system

another option is to wire a relay from the mute out on the bluetooth reciever to cut the power from the factory amp or cut the acc power in which case the speakers will be muted then use the supplied speaker that comes with the bluetooth unit if equiped, and if thats not an option i would suggest using the 2 relay method mentioned above to cut out one of the speakers, and really wiring in 2 extra relays isn't all that hard or time consuming anyway
