I’ve had mine for over a year and it still goes strong. I was originally turned off from this because there were many online for $50. After buying and installing the cheap ones, I found that they did not work, worked for a day or two, or looked poorly made. I bit the bullet and got this one and haven’t ever looked back. Everything is easy to setup and use. I can also speak to the longevity of the unit since its been in use for some time.

Installed Pure Bluetooth w/AUX in a 2010 Accord EX-L. Chose this kit over the USA-SPEC because it appeared to be a much simpler installation. Pretty pleased with it so far. Shipping was very fast and the installation and first use went pretty smooth like in the video with only a couple of minor hiccups.
– There are a total of four screws that hold the stereo unit in place, not just the two shown in he video. However, this may be a difference between US and Canadian models.
– The empty port this unit is supposed to plug into was already filled. Fortunately, the kit included a combiner harness that allowed me to connect two services to the port.
– Phone paired up very easy. But on first start-up, no bluetooth audio was being played. Reached out to GTA via Facebook and their tech support answered me in about 30 minutes – not too bad for a Saturday. Don’t know if their advice would have worked or not, because it started working as it was supposed to without me doing anything special. Have to give them credit for answering the bell though!
Overall, I’m really happy with the clean install that this provided. Nice sound quality. Could use some improved support documentation on the website, but it is still a good product to add some modern functionality on a budget. Definitely recommended.

Had it bought by a friend who was travelling to India. Very easy to install in the 2008 Indian Honda Accord .
Working flawless. Have to compromise on the USB port in the car since this takes the connection that the cars usb is connected to. The The AUX cable suppplied in the box is of very bad quality .
The music streamed via this Bluetooth plays flawless and the quality is better than CD.
Call quality is good. Mic performs well. Range of mic is low.
It comes with a USB port but its only for charging.
When you play songs via Bluetooth it dosent dispatch the songs info on the cars screen.

My car has something prewired in white connector, so i couldn’t install this kit.
Sent email and called support: got very good response on email as well as over phone: was told it might not be used anywhere in car as my car doesn’t have CD changer, Navigation, or XM satellite radio.
I was asked to remove it, test radio functions including CD etc and then try putting GTA kit: I did everything went smooth as expected.
I like the product so far, very good seamless.
The only thing i was expecting that for 2012 it should have come with Y connector cable, just in case other owners wants to do something with that pre-wired….
will test it over next few weeks and let everyone know how it goes.
Thanks,
Satish

Very impressed with the results! The kit was very easy to install if you are even a little handy the only thing not shown in the video for the honda accord is the two screws that hold the stereo down to the frame of the dashboard. Also, the music is significantly louder than the old AUX cable which I noticed immediately, overall a great improvement at a great price.

The ordered the pure blue tooth kit for a 2012 Honda Accord with standard radio and aux/usb in center armrest console. I had to order the y-cable after I got my radio removed due to the slot being filled already. Once I installed the y-cable the rest of the installation went smoothly. The blue tooth kit has definitely made a positve difference.

After recently purchasing a 2009 Honda Accord, I realized it didn’t have the ability to make phone calls or play music from my iPhone wirelessly via bluetooth. After considering whether I wanted to chance doing an aftermarket integration, I went to my local car audio installation specialty shop and they quoted me an estimate of between $400-500 to integrate these features. That seemed way too expensive, so I looked for other options and after a quick Google search, I came across the GTA Car Kit. Based largely on customer reviews like this one, I decided to go ahead
and purchase one of their Pure Bluetooth kits. Shipping was fast, and a few days later I had the kit in hand. Following the YouTube videos made installation easy and about 45 minutes later I was up and running. Not only do I love my new integrated phone/bluetooth features, but I was most impressed by their customer service. I asked the GTA Car Kit folks a TON of questions via email and Facebook both before and after the purchase and install and they were great at responding quickly with knowledgeable and helpful answers.
If you are on the fence about purchasing one of their kits, don’t be. I am beyond pleased with my kit and made it a point to write this review because I was so impressed. Keep up the excellent work GTA Car Kit staff!

I bought the GTA kit when I bought a used ’09 Accord Coupe. The kit was very well made, instructions are clear and concise and it works great. I have been using it for the past 7 months with my 160Gb iPod Classic and it has worked perfectly every day. Highly recommended!

I had researched ways to connect an iPod to a relatives car stereo that had no Aux input. I found that GTA car kits had good reviews and were considerably cheaper than those at Best Buy. Shipping was fast, installation was easy and the product worked just as described.
I recently bought a new car without an iPod input and decided to get a GTA Car Kit since I had a good experience. Since the GTA Car Kit was only about $100, it was also considerably cheaper than adding an iPod input as an option on my car. Once again, shipping was fast, the product was very simple to install and works perfectly.
The installation only took about 30 minutes and only needed a screw driver. The device simply plugs into the back of the stereo. I checked out the video, which was very thorough, but didn’t even need it considering how easy it was.
I connect my iPod nano to my car. I like how I can either use the iPod or the car’s stereo controls to control my music depending on the iPod. I have no negative comments about shipping, installation, or the product. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
I would definitely recommend these products.
