A:Answer I can only answer half of this question because I only utilize the Bluetooth connection with my iPhone. As far as sound performance in the car, it’s barely enough to say that it’s ok. My Bose sits in front of my center console where my navigation screen is at. The music level does get loud, but it’s NOT putting out any noticeable bass or lows, loud for highway driving with the windows up. It’s relatively ok in the midrange and vocals. It works good with voices, things like sport talk radio. For some reason, it’s volume is poor on telephonic calls. It’s nowhere near good enough to replace my car stereo, but it’ll just get me by while my car stereo system gets fixed.
