5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great!!!

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } My car is a 2009 Jeep Patriot without Bluetooth or WiFi. I did not have high expectations for this Bluetooth Aux Receiver because of a past experience with a similar receiver, but I was hoping it would work well. This receiver sold by Arsvita has surpassed my expectations. I turned my ignition on (didn't start my car), plugged the two-way jack into the receiver, and then into the AUX of my car stereo. I Turned the radio on and then paired the receiver to my phone's Bluetooth by holding down the power button until it entered pairing mode. With my phone's Bluetooth menu I paired it with BRO6. It connected instantly. It was so quick and easy. I made a phone call by telling Google to "Call Gail". The call connected right away but went to voice mail. So, I played music from my phone through the car speakers waiting for Gail to call me back. When she called, the music was muted when the call came through. On the AUX device, I pressed the button to answer the call which connected instantly. The call was loud and clear on both ends with no static. The radio volume knob was used to adjust the call volume. I also did NOT have to connect this device to an unused radio station like similar devices require. It was basically plug-n-play and connecting your Bluetooth with your phone. I have a short USB C cable that plugs into my USB cigarette lighter adapter that I will keep plugged into the AUX receiver to keep it charged (It can charge while I drive).The next day when I started my car, I turned my radio on and then pushed the "On" button on the AUX device. It then connected to my phone's Bluetooth automatically. Keep in mind that the clarity of the voice coming through the speakers will not sound identical to a voice coming directly through your phone to your ear. The person's voice sounds like it's coming through the speakers because it is. I'm saying this so your expectations will be realistic for the product.Going forward, it will be such a pleasure to talk on the phone with this device through my car's speakers while driving and enjoying the clarity and volume during my phone calls.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great device for those with older cars

This little receiver is pretty cool. After charging, you simply plug it into your car's aux and pair it to your phone (I have an iPhone 13). The sound quality is very good. No static or anything like that. The reason for the four star was because it wasn't very easy to get the aux to work. Maybe it was just my car (2007 Camry) but even when it was paired, it wasn't picking up the music from my Pandora app. Eventually it worked and I'm not sure how that happened. Suddenly it just worked, and it happened so randomly. My screen showed "AUX" which told me my phone was connected. I didn't mess with the sound volume on the receiver so I don't have an opinion on that. I'll have to play it with some more. I just used my phone and the car's volume controls. Overall, I would totally recommend this. It's small and doesn't take up any space at all. There are no messy cords to deal with, although it does come with a couple of cords just in case your car needs it. Mine didn't.Update 10/13/2022: Just wanted to say that after using it for a few more days now, I'm really loving it. This is such a great device. When you hold down the on/off button to turn on, a voice response will tell you that it's on and searching to connect your wi-fi. When you turn it off and hold the on/off button down, the voice response will tell you it's off. That's great to have. That's really important since my aux connection is tucked deep inside a cupboard-like space. I've changed my review to 5 stars because I'm very impressed with this receiver. Just had a bit of a hiccup at first, but now that the dust has settled, which it actually did after my initial install/plug in, I've not had a single issue. Just praise. Thanks for a great product because I'm happy I can finally listen to my Pandora.

3.0 out of 5 stars Battery life drains quickly

E.R. · December 14, 2022

This Bluetooth transmitter is such a good products, discreetly connects to your aux ports without the need of wires hanging out all over the place, and I am even able to answer calls through it. It pairs super fast and easily to Bluetooth and establishes a good connection with my iPhone. It’s an amazing product, straight forward buttons to change music, easy to answer call button, and power on and off button, but I just hate how the battery life drains super fast. I will use it for 2 days, 30 minutes to work in the morning, and 30 minutes for the drive back home. After 2 days, it gives me a warning that the battery is low and needs charging. Within 10 minutes it disconnects and shuts off. It is very frustrating that I have to charge it for hours just so that it gives me 2 days of playback.

4.0 out of 5 stars Car / Aux Bluetooth adapter

This little adapter works better than I thought it would. My car has no bluetooth and I wanted to try something to use with my phone for music when I am tired of the radio. It takes less than an hour to charge and lasts about a work week on that charge with my 30 minute commute (one way). This paired quickly with my phone and I am not getting any background crackles, static, et. noises. I am unsure if noises would be the device or my cell service though. I tried a few phone calls while listening to music and it switched from call to music without dropping either one.I took one star off because the volume up/down buttons are the same buttons as song skip forward and back. I found myself trying to turn it up, but not pressing it long enough and skipping a song I didn't mean too. Not a big deal, but I wish the buttons were separate. Also, this little adapter has no amp capacity so I do have to turn my car and phone way up to get good sound volume. I didn't expect any amp capacity, but was surprised I had to turn them up so much. This is my first bluetooth adapter for this car so I can't compare with others, but overall this isn't a bad little bluetooth device for under 20!
