But isn’t this for a Becker with Aux input connection, don’t I need a unit that connects through the Becker CD changer plug? That’s where the Solisto box connects, but they aren’t offering a Bluetooth option yet. Maybe not enough demand to support the Infinity w/nav radios.

 

No it is for the Becker navigation radios. The plug is for the CD changer input. Please look at my post #3 above.

 

Dah..... I totally missed that! Thanks much! Buying this one tonight. My age must be showing, but I love my music in the Crossfire on Southwest Florida backroads with the wife, top down and no one around!
Thanks again!

 

Wife top down, takes you back to your youth.😉

 

Haha, in the 70’s wife’s top was down along with the car’s, in our late 60’s after 47 years of marriage, just the Car’s top is down. But we still enjoy the ride!

 

Amazing. Wish I'd found this item almost ten years ago.

But, like so many others, I finally saw the light: The OEM audio system in these cars is a joke. TWO channel audio? No eq to speak of? No fader control?
BALONEY. My car has an aftermarket JVC head and four channel sound with EQ and the ability to drive the rear speakers are woofers if I want to (oddly, I found it sounds better with them driven as channels 3 and 4 and the Eq set to my liking).

The new head and a set of rear speakers (My SE is a base and had no rear speakers) set me back less than $150 and took under two hours to install.

But I gotta hand it to you, in finding this item - good one, sir!

 

All I can say is thanks Toolman!!! I ordered the YaTour Bluetooth adapter Model YT-BTA BEK (Becker) for my Infinity NAV head unit and it works great! Pictured below in the unit, $94 on EBay. I ordered on 1/19/21 arrived today. Took about ten minutes to install and I’m up and running with Bluetooth connectivity from my iPhone. The YaTour has a 3.5mm Aux Jack and USB inputs as well as a Mic input I assume for phone use. The key to this YaTour is it’s use of the CD Changer input plug, that includes the Aux input left/right/Grd wires on the blue connector and the six wires on the green plug that allows the YaTour to emulate a CD Changer. You use the radio CD button to access the YaTour and the display shows CD Track1, while it is Bluetooth connected to you phone. The radio next track button does advance to the next song from iPhone. My Primary music input is from Pandora, so it becomes very functional from the iPhone. The YaTour cable is about 36” long and could be wired to placed the 2”x3”x1/2” Box in your armrest storage where the Aux/USB/mic ports would be accessible, which I plan to do. Right now I just placed the box in the space behind the Radio.

How do I know if my Infiniti stereo has navigation or not I can’t seem to find any button that indicates that I do so does that mean I don’t have navigationHow do I know if my Infiniti stereo has navigation or not I can’t seem to find any button that indicates that I do so does that mean I don’t have navigation

 

The far right button will be your “NAV”, not all Crossfires had the Navigation option.

 

I would contact YaTour with your Infinity (Becker) model number on the back of your unit. YaTour makes AuX/Bluetooth connectivity boxes for a wide verity of Mfg’s and they may have found a way around the Nav requirement using the CD changer port. They were very helpful when I was buying my YaTour unit. Can’t hurt to double check with them.

 

I'd appreciate some advice regarding if this interface really works: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...radio&_sacat=0
I prefer not to change the stock appeal of my Crossfire; I just want to attach my iPhone via USB for music/streaming. I do have the nav radio. Thanks in advance.

 

The YaTour box is a plug and play unit as long as you have the Infinity Navigator head unit. You also have iPhone call interface through the radio using the provided mic input cord, caller vice voice over the radio. I too didn’t want to change the stock Infinity look, however I do use a iPhone mount that inserts into the cd slot to hold the phone. Once you Bluetooth pair the phone to the YaTour, it’s good to go. The radio shows CD1 Track1 being used. I placed the YaTour box behind the radio where there’s plenty of space.

 

Thanks. I would rather have a plug-in option versus the $125 Bluetooth option from Becker Autosound. I think hard-wired always sounds better. Thank you.

 

Hi, did you manage to find out if there is a workaround in case you have a non-NAV radio? I have ordered mine Yatour… and tried to install, but this does not work. spent the whole day to try to find out any wiring for the Yatour - if I can match up with the Becker radio, but I could not find anything…
Would be good to have some good advice…
thx

 

unfortunately you must have an Infinity Navigator radio with the 14 pin CD changer plug on the back of the Becker mfg. radio for the YaTour to work. It uses the CD changer port to allow the aux input for Bluetooth and hands free phone operation. Best to find a Infinity Navigator radio if trying to keep the stock look which I prefer. Most change out the stock radio to auxiliary/Bluetooth input. My personal opinion is it looks like a hack job on the console. Good luck,

 

Without wanting to hack my OE Infinity Stereo (I assume non-NAV) I just picked up a $20 Bluetooth FM Transmitter ! It's also a close colour match to the Silver centre console, so almost looks a part of the car.
Plugs into the Cig socket and pairs with my iPhone immediately upon turning the ignition, then I have my music streaming out of the car speakers in an instant. Works great plus everything original and nothing disturbed, plus no extra leads poking out of the dash anywhere, like an extra limb.

 

Yes, thank you, I generally agree. I also have an FM transmitter, similar to what you mentioned. But my problem with that is, that in EU where I live there is basically no free FM channel that I can use undisturbed for more than 10 kilometers. There are so many radio stations here… If i set for example FM106 and I start driving, after 10 km or so I need to change the channel since that becomes disturbed by a radio station. (changing this while driving is not easy…) So I cannot really use that for phone conversations or for listening to my misic app… This is the reason I need to go for a better solution, which ultimately will be that I need to change my radio to the NAVI one… costs will be high…

 

My FM Transmitter " solution " is a basic option (admittedly), plus not elaborate, such as the suggestions provided above by other members.
Especially if you do travel extended distances, plus as you say, are most likely to pickup interference on the FM channels. I know it's an "old skool" solution too, but worked for me.

To be honest if you are considering a 2nd hand Infinity with the NAVI, for the same money you might just want to pickup a brand new "modern" Stereo, that'll have all that wireless functionality built in, plus offer much more besides (greater Specs plus features).

 

You are absolutely right and reasonable my friend. But some of us crazy irrational Xfire lovers will want just keep the factory outlook
