How can I hook up a bluetooth device to my car

[jim1174]

I have a 2013 hyundai. My car does not have bluetooth. i have looked on amazon and found several adaptors i can buy that would allow me to hook up a bluetooth device to my car. The adapters i have found come with small speakers. are there any adapters that don't come with the speakers? I would like to connect my bluetooth device to my car and use the cars speakers.

Your best bet would be to look on the Hyundai forums for the solutions they've used. I don't see it as unrealistic that this should be doable, provided your stock HU has a compatible auxiliary connection in the back. For that you would use something like a Parrot module, but it wouldn't be as integrated as a stock solution would be.

My honest recommendation would be to look into upgrading your stock head unit to an aftermarket one that features built-in Bluetooth. You may lose some of the functionality of your original deck, but the gains in sound quality and compatibility with third-party devices outweighs what you'll lose in my opinion. There's options as inexpensive as the Clarion CZ702 (which has the Bluetooth mic built into the faceplate) up to other solutions that feature a wired microphone that you can route anywhere within the cabin.

Professional installation is recommended. This device interfaces with the antenna cable at the back of the radio.
