Q: What exactly does this device do as the description is fuzzy?

A: I use it to play Spotify, Pandora or even YouTube playlist through my car stereo. It’s EXTREMELY easy to use and I can also use the USB ports to charge two devices at once. All you do is plug it in to the cigarette lighter and a station will show on it’s little screen, turn your car stereo to that station and turn on the Bluetooth on your phone. Your phone will find the device and a voice will come over your car speakers saying “successful pairing”. Then anything you wanna play from your phone now come through your car stereo, including phone calls. Essentially it turns your car stereo into a giant Bluetooth Speaker. Really great for road trips though rural areas with limited local radio stations, or for people with eclectic musical tastes. I HIGHLY recommend this product!

Q: This sounds perfect, but what if I want to use it for just handsfree calling. Can I have it plugged in and still listen to my regular radio stations?

A: Sort of.. because the only way it's paired is if you put it on the same radio station as what is listed on the Bluetooth receiver. So if you got a call, you'd have to change the radio station to those numbers. For instance, I have ours on a dedicated channel of 107.5. I also have that set on my car radio as a preset. It's easy enough to have it paired, then change channels, then if you get a phone call, just switch it to the same numbers. In my instance, 107.5..

Q: Does your car need Bluetooth in order for this to work ?

A: No. You use a radio channel that is not used. Very easy to use

Q: Can u play usb music

A: Yes, but only in port 2 which is the bottom one. The top port is for charging only. The usb drive has to be formatted in one of the following formats: FAT, FAT32, or exFAT. The following are playable media file types: .mp3, .wma, .flac, and .wav The Bluetooth version is 4.2 and works flawlessly with my new iPhone XS Max.

Q: Does this drain the car battery? I took my keys with me and I was still connected to bluetooth. The next day my battery died.. i'm not sure if that's just a coincidence or was my anker actually was still able to pull on the battery.

A: If your cigarette lighter/aux power doesn't require the ignition to be on then yes it will draw power on your battery. It's going to be constantly searching for a device to pair to. Would think the draw is low but I always unplug mine when I'm done driving for the day.

Q: When answering a phone call do I have to tune to a specific station to take the call?

A: You have to be tuned in to the same station that you use for Bluetooth. For the Bluetooth and calls to work you have to be on the same station that the device is on.

Q: How Do I change The Station On The Anger Roav?

A: Press and hold the center button and you’ll notice the radio station changing on the Roav! Pick a station that’s clear, so you can listen clear music or radio through your phone

Q: Would this device allow me to stream my iPhone in my 2005 Toyota 4-runner?

A: Yes, Jack. Simply plug the device into your cigarette lighter and tune your radio station to the same frequency. All you have left to do is turn on the WiFi or blue-tooth for your iPhone and bingo - you've got iPhone music through your Toyota. It is very simple.
