Its a pretty good value for the price. Works perfectly in the last month that i’ve used it. Battery last a good while. Only downside is having to charge it and turning it on and off for every use. the scosche car kit that connects to the charging port and aux connect unfortunately gives a static sound that is so annoying. This aluratek item gives no static whatsoever.

I bought this for my Harley ultra classic. The cd/radio has an aux input so figured this would work. I just bought some super strength Velcro and put it on back of device and fairing. It worked great for two weeks on bike (even in a light rain or two). Only problem is the button is hard with gloves on but I don't think the company had motorcycles in mind when they designed it. The b.t. Pairing was easy and directions are straightforward. Product was well put together and seemed sturdy enough. I lost mine already but will order another after another few tries of looking for old one.

For those of you that have an AUX Audio Input in the car - this is what you need to play your iPhone through the Car's Audio System without attaching any wires to the phone. It simply works - when you first turn it on without signal from the phone, there is some minor hum - which goes away once you start to play your iTunes Music from the phone. This is the best way to stream Bluetooth in your car if you don't have it built into the Car's Audio System.

'had it for a week and it definitely has made my life easier. I will buy again from Amazon which is cheaper but definitely recommend 100%. Here & there it has some mild interference but nothing to go crazy about. I love it

This is so easy to use. Charge it, plug it into your aux port for your car radio, turn it on, see the blue light? Long hold on the device on button, the light will now flash red and white, turn on phone Bluetooth , pair phone and device, play your music.
I have my device plugged in to the lighter port so it charges while driving.
CONS
I play my music through my phone. It sounds great, but when you get a phone call, it doesn't come through the radio speaker, just the phone speaker. The music will fad out. You answer the phone, hang up and then press play again. More steps to go through but this device is only for music, it's not a Bluetooth speaker phone.
Also when you leave your car for several hours or the night, you must shut it off unless your power outlet stays on all the time. This device has a battery for 5 hours I believe, so when you go to work the next morning, it will be drained and have to charge for a bit before it will play or pick up your Bluetooth. If I'm just going to the store for an hour, I'll leave it on, run my errands and when I come back my phone will sync right up and I can start my music...but the red charging light will come on because it was still using power while you where gone.
Also, if your playing music on your phone and using Google maps, the turn voice will not come through the radio speakers , just the phone speakers. I don't know why.
But, it's a great an easy to use Bluetooth device for your phones music or some other type of Bluetooth music player. It has limitations. For the price, it's a good and cheap add on for a older car audio system.

I was quite shocked about this product when I first used it. I know it depends on the stereo that you own but I didn't expect the audio to be as good as it is. It's very easy to use and small in size that you kind of forget that it's there, especially when you have a little nook to store it in while it's in use. Also the battery life lasts a pretty good while as well.

I bought this because my older stereo had fair to poor FM reception. By adding Bluetooth, I am now able to use various iphone music apps iHeart Radio for example. Work great and is very easy to install. You do need to have a USB wall adapter to keep it powered all the time, It does have a battery as well.
