Q: QuestionWhat exactly does this device do as the description is fuzzy?(5 answers)
A: AnswerI 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!Answered by BriM
- A: AnswerSort 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: QuestionHow Do I change The Station On The Anger Roav?(4 answers)
A: AnswerPress 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 phoneAnswered by James
- A: AnswerIf 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.
