I also did not leverage the USB charging option as that would require them to drill into the dash which I did not want them to do. Now, I did not leverage the AUX port option as my car already had one built in. In terms of the electronics, everything worked when I tested the functionality of the in-dash CD player, built in AUX port, and any of the lights or switch gear (that would be the passenger airbag lights and the hazard lights switch) that they would have had to disconnect to install the kit. When I examined the car later, I found no dents or scratches on the dash or the “A” pillar. Even though it is hanging off the “A” pillar, I’m fine with that. One thing that I’d like to highlight is the placement of the microphone as pictured below:Ĭlearly they were able to pop off the panel on the “A” pillar to route the cable for the microphone. That’s the route that I went and it only took them about 30 minutes to install it. Alternately if you live in Toronto or the Greater Toronto Area, they can install it for you for a fee. But if you’re not good at doing this sort of thing, you may wish to get a pro in a car stereo shop to do it for you. Now based on the feedback that I have seen, installation is achievable by most people. Thus you can get everything that you need to do this yourself. Here’s an example of such a video for the Toyota Matrix that I have:Īnother thing that they’ve done is they make the tools that you need to install these kits available for sale along with a video showing how they are to be used properly. It also makes up for the fact that the printed instructions are on the sparse side (and to be fair, deliberately so as I cannot see how they would be able to document every car make and model in a printed document). While the videos are currently for their iPod/iPhone integration kits and are currently not available for the Pure Bluetooth car kit (although videos are starting to appear for some cars), they are still useful as the process is largely the same. One of the things that GTA Car Kits has done is provide videos to help you install these kits. Assuming you have some skill and the right tools (more on the tools you need in a second), you should be able to install this yourself. Please note that the image above comes from GTA Car Kits website.
