If you're looking to add Bluetooth to your H3, check out the Tranzit BLU HF by iSimple ($79 on Amazon). I installed one in my Cayenne last week and its been excellent. The module unit is hardwired into the radio head through the FM antenna instead of using a low power FM radio transmitter. The Bluetooth audio quality is absolutely crystal clear and almost as good as from CDs. It’s passive until a cell call is received or you play music from your phone via BT; then it interrupts the broadcast FM on the assigned frequency. The FM radio must be on and tuned the assigned frequency. It does not turn on the radio or change the station or mode automatically for a call. The modulator frequency is preset to 98.1 but can be reset to any freq with a phone app from the maker. Its concealed except for a small control button and the mic. The module is smaller than a deck of cards. Needs a switched or RAP power source.
The negatives I've found are 1) if you set it for an open frequency you'll hear noise and static unless there's Bluetooth content, and 2) other FM stations can’t be tuned in without disengaging BT via the module control button. However, it responds to the control button and reengages quickly if a call is received.
