Default Bluetooth in a 2002

So I wanted Bluetooth in my Navigator cause it’s 2026 and I don’t have enough CDs. I wanted to keep my factory radio, steering wheel controls, rear controls and all that stuff. But I didn’t find many ways to do this. After reading an article I decided on a FM modulator and a Bluetooth receiver. The antenna wire goes into the fm module then into the OE radio so when on Fm 87.9 it’s my Bluetooth signal and off my fm stations still works.




I placed the switch inside of the clock trim. It’s still accessible but isn’t obvious. The 3rd picture is the wiring. The Bluetooth receiver goes plays into the FM modulator which intercepts the factory antenna signal. Both are switched by the switch and fused. Power is draw from the cigar lighter

thoughts: Calling doesn’t work with my IPhone.
audio is clear but abit under powered. The fm module has a adjustment screw but I couldn’t adjust it so that probably the issue.
It’s still good. If I were to do it again I would use a different Fm module and Bluetooth receiver. To remedy my 2 issues.
