Bring aftermarket features to your factory radio
Crux's BTGM-33 Bluetooth interface expands the functionality of your factory system without replacing the radio. Connect this interface to your existing radio, and you'll enjoy the convenience of hands-free calling and audio streaming with your Bluetooth-equipped phone. You'll use your existing steering wheel controls to control calls and music, so you can keep both hands on the wheel and drive like a smart person.
Callers will hear you clearly
Install the included external microphone in a good spot for the best reception, such as near your visor or on top of the steering wheel column. You can also adjust the microphone volume so your callers can hear you clearly.
Cool music without uncool wires
In between calls, you'll need something to occupy yourself, so why not enjoy some music? The Crux BTGM-33 interface lets you listen to your favourite music wirelessly from your compatible phone via Bluetooth. Unlike older Bluetooth adapters, this Crux adapter will send sound to your front and rear speakers. When you get a call, your music will be muted so you can hear your caller on your speakers.
Please enter your vehicle information or call an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to find out if this interface is compatible with your vehicle.
Important Note: This adapter is not compatible with a factory radio with a built-in XM radio tuner. The XM tuner must be separate.

Note: To be compatible, the factory radio must have XM Radio selectable as a source, but the XM Radio tuner cannot be built into the radio. (If included, the XM Radio tuner must be a separate component from the radio.) The BTGM-33 uses the XM input in the radio's wiring harness to integrate your phone. The XM Radio source will also be retained.
Bluetooth 2.0: Thanks to built-in Bluetooth 2.0 with support for HFP and A2DP/AVRCP, you can enjoy hands-free communication and wireless audio streaming from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone through your vehicle's factory radio and steering wheel controls. The BTGM-33 supports multi-device pairing, but only one device can be connected for calls and playback at a time. The BTGM-33 also allows any previously paired smartphone to automatically re-connect to the add-on Bluetooth interface inside your vehicle.
- Hands-Free Communication: The Crux BTGM-33 adds Bluetooth hands-free communication to your vehicle's factory radio with DSP and Echo-Cancellation for clear conversations on both sides of the phone call. Using your vehicle's steering wheel controls (if equipped), you can answer and end your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone's calls. You will still need to use your smartphone to make phone calls and to view caller ID information. An external wired microphone is included to carry on your side of the conversation, while the other party is heard through your vehicle's front speakers. The BTGM-33 will automatically mute any source as soon as a call is received, and resumes when a call is ended.
- Wireless Audio Streaming: The BTGM-33 adds 4-channel Bluetooth audio streaming to your vehicle's factory radio. You'll be able to wirelessly stream stored music, music apps, and other audio content (such as Navigation apps) from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone to the add-on Bluetooth interface and your vehicle's factory radio. You can operate Play/Pause and Previous/Next Track functions from your vehicle's steering wheel controls (if equipped). Advanced music browsing and song/artist/album information will still need to be done from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone. The BTGM-33 supports the standard SBC codec for Bluetooth (not compatible with aptX or AAC). The BTGM-33 will automatically pause Bluetooth audio streaming when a hands-free call is received and will resume when the call is ended.
Retained Factory Features: The Crux BeeLine series BTGM-33 will retain your vehicles OnStar functionality and factory XM radio, if equipped. To be compatible, the factory radio must have XM Radio selectable as a source, but the XM Radio tuner cannot be built into the radio. (If included, the XM Radio tuner must be a separate component from the radio.) The BTGM-33 uses the XM input in the radio's wiring harness to integrate your phone. The XM Radio source will also be retained.
Magnetic Vent Mount: The Crux BTGM-33 comes with a magnetic vent mount for your smartphone. The mount works with most air vent configurations found in today's vehicle's - including horizontal, vertical, and round air vents. The vent mount includes a magnetic device cradle and comes with a self-adhesive magnetic plate which attaches to the outside of your smartphone or inside of your smartphone case. Once the magnetic plate is installed, simply hover your mobile device over the cradle and it will quickly snap into place and remain there. You can quickly remove it too. The mount's ball-and-socket mechanism allows you tilt your smartphone up or down, turn it left or right, and rotate it 360-degrees. You'll be able to mount your device in a vertical (portrait) or horizontal (landscape) orientation.
USB Port: A Mini-B USB port is located inside the casing. This port is provided for uploading firmware updates to the adapter.
