I have an old 2010 Lavida that I've driven for many years. I remember when I bought it, I didn't hear about any Bluetooth functionality. Back in those days, Bluetooth wasn't very common in cars, especially in basic models like the Lavida. The standard configuration mainly included a CD player and an AUX port for connecting phones or music players. If we wanted to listen to music or take calls, we relied on plugging in an AUX cable or using CDs, which felt a bit outdated. Later, I realized the inconvenience of not having Bluetooth, especially when using a phone while driving could be dangerous. So, I got a small Bluetooth adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter port, allowing wireless connection to my phone. This kind of modification is simple, cheap, and doesn't compromise safety. Now, seeing that newer cars come with built-in Bluetooth, it really makes me realize how fast technology has advanced.
In the field of automotive maintenance, we've handled numerous inquiries regarding older Lavida models, which typically didn't come equipped with Bluetooth modules from the factory. For early models like the 2008 to 2012 versions, Bluetooth functionality was mostly available in higher trims or optional packages, while standard base models usually only had basic radio and AUX input. The reason lies in the electronic control unit not integrating Bluetooth chips. For upgrades, external adapters or professional installation of additional modules are required. The cost isn't high, but compatibility must be considered. For instance, using cigarette lighter-type Bluetooth transceivers or FM modulators can enable wireless music and call functions.
For young people who drive frequently, the lack of Bluetooth in older cars can indeed be troublesome, affecting music playback and navigation. However, the old Lavida can easily be upgraded—just get a Bluetooth receiver to plug into the AUX port, available on Taobao for just a few dozen yuan. Once paired with your phone, the sound quality is decent. It makes daily use much easier, allowing you to enjoy modern convenience without needing to change cars.
