Q: Will this drain my car's battery if I leave it in while it is not in use.
A: Manual says it will not. I can attest that it does not have any noticable drain, even in the winter
Q: Can you pair more than one device at a time
A: Sadly no, and that is probably the biggest limitation of Roav Bolt - it can only pair with one phone and one car at a time, and, even if it is connected to the car via an Aux cable, the other Bluetooth connection is still not freed up for pairing with a second device. It is the most common complaint I have seen about the Bolt, since it makes it all but unusable for a household in which multiple drivers use a single car.
Q: I have an 03 cts no Bluetooth and no aux can I still use this device withh ugh an iPhone XR?
A: If you have a cassette deck there are simple adapters you can buy that would plug into the "AUX out" on this device and allow you to use it.
A: That doesn't sound right - Wouldn't letting On Star lapse just nuke the car's built in cellular modem? You'd think you'd still be able to pair your phone with the car's built-in Bluetooth and make a hands-free call without that service. (If not, wow: That's scummy behavior on their part. A handsfree call over Bluetooth and your own phone wouldn't require any actual lift from GM's On Star service.) You might try googling other ways to pair your phone with your existing hardware. But yes, the purpose of this device is to give you an alternative way to pair Bluetooth and have an always-on "OK Google" ready mic that can be used for calls. Other reviewers report that calls placed from the phone's screen may not work as intended, but calls started through the Roav & Google Assistant voice commands should work fine.
A: Allow the Roav to unlock your device when connected. This is in your phone under Trusted Devices. Now, your phone will be unlocked when connected to the dongle. Concerned with security? No sweat. Unlocking is based on a Bluetooth connection to the dongle, which only happens when powered, which only happens when the car has power, which is based on you being in it with the keys. All of those conditions must be met. That should be sufficient to dispel any security concerts, unless you drive for a ride share service or with dishonest people in your vehicle.
A: yes, it works with my iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 12
A: It uses data from your phone
Q: Does it work as an fm transmitter?
A: No,this model works with the Aux output of your radio but there is another model that works as an FM-AM transmiter
