Becker Bluetooth Module & Rear View Camera

Looks like a universal Bluetooth module with a Becker sticker on it. The only thing that looks OEM is the plug that goes into the back of the radio. Really all you need is that plug connected to an 1/8 inch stereo Jack. Then you can plug anything you want into it such as a $25 Bluetooth module that you can get anywhere. As far as pairing goes, I'm pretty sure even with the Becker unit everything would have to be controlled from your phone ( so just audio). I don't believe there is integration with the controls on the radio. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong on that.

+1, the seller appears to have the name "becker autsound LLC" but is not related to Becker the car stereo manufacturer...
Not saying the product may have some merit.

Blacktopracing, I believe you are correct. I am using a Apple IPhone lightning cable adapter for my Becker Cascade 6112 and run everything through the Aux input off my IPhone, but must use the IPhone to control the music and GPS audio. I would assume any Bluetooth streaming adapter will have the same limitations when running through the Aux input, as the OPs posting suggests.

 

I just had my 360 head unit replaced after the original failed. Got Becker to do the swap. Their US facility is in NJ. I had them add the Bluetooth module as part of this. Works great! Streams music and sound from navigation apps, but no microphone or use during phone calls.

 

Yes, they are legit. I have purchased a couple items from them. You can also call them, they are very helpful.

 

Not the same, but I've been using one of these in my F430 and it's been fantastic (and about half the price):

Yes I pulled the radio, unplugged the CD changer and plugged that in it's place (you have to unplug all the CD changer cables or it will still think it's connected) and pick aux and it works great. Wouldn't even know it's there.

Then on my phone I just connect to "SKY INTERNATL" I believe it's listed as and start playing music.

 

To connect to it you go to the Aux mode and pair the phone (at least the first time) with the Bluetooth ID they provide. I can't recall what it was but it was simple and worked the first time. Sound quality is outstanding. No idea about an app or what you would even use that for.

 

Looks like you have a BE4372 which falls on the compatibility list at the link given by bsawler. If you go eBay you'll see Ferrari models similar to yours and it lists model number. The decal label is on the right side closest to the glove box compartment.
I happen to have a LCD display with fiber optic camera and took a peek at mine which is BE6105 and it's on the list too. I just ordered. Thanks Bsawler! Can't wait to to remove the iPhone cable which also has an adapter to the newer lightning plug.

 

What are the Pro's and Con's of the Discount Car Stereo vs Becker BT adapters?

Thanks

 

I can't speak to the Becker module as I don't have it but

Pros for the Discount Car Stereo module:

It's cheaper

It works well

Installation was ridiculously simple

Cons:

There's no control from the headunit other than volume. I'm not sure about the Becker unit but with this one you don't seem to be skip tracks for instance, or play/pause. That all needs to be done from the phone.

It's not "official"

 

Did you ever install the BLU-BKR235 Hands free unit? If so, how did you like it? Where did you locate all of the features like the speaker, On/Off Green button? Did you have a CD changer, did that still work? Any thoughts on comments about adding this devise to my system would be appreciated.

 

Wow, thank you for the quick reply. I like that location for the little green button. If it is ok, I have a couple more questions.
1. When talking, do the responding voices come through the car speakers?
2. When talking, does the unit turn off the radio like it would in a car equipped with a Hands free Bluetooth so you can clearly hear the person talking to you?
3. Were there any lost features of negatives when adding this unit that you didn’t like?
4. Was installation basically pull out the OEM unit & plug & play in the back of the OEM unit? Anything special with that?
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge & experience.

 

Thank you again for all the great feedback!
