Just what I was looking for!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was tired of hooking up my phone to the aux input and jealous of my brothers bluetooth capability with his stereo. The salesman at BestBuy recommended this little thing so I decided to give it a try. It stay hidden in my Camaro's armrest compartment so that is definitely a win foe me. Make sure you charge it upon opening because it doesn't come fully charged. One thing that I didn't like is that it doesn't have an indicator letting you know how much time you have left in a charge. You have to make sure you keep it charged or else you'll have recharge temporarily interrupting your jam session

Great add on to old school stereo systems
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always thought there must be a way to blue tooth music into my stereo system since they have so many speakers that work that way. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into Best Buy and spoke with a rep about my idea. He took me directly to this little gadget. It was a dream come true! It did exist and I'm glad I bought it. Now I can play whatever is on my phone thru my stereo. I love it!

Okay product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently had to spend $300+ on repairing the AUX jack because of years of getting out of the car and forgetting to unplug my phone, loosening the jack. Picked this up, and it works well. The sound quality is good, easy to pair device. When you leave vehicle and car is turned off, it'll unpair and when you get back in, it might/might not automatically connect back. Sometimes have to turn Bluetooth on phone on/off before it works. Also, if your phone is paired to a different car with Bluetooth, the device automatically knocks off and the vehicle will pair your phone. Overall, good product.

Great option to connect stereo to bluetooth device
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have an older receiver that does not have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capability. Was looking for solution to connect iPhones, etc. to stream music to in-wall speakers connected to stereo. As I only needed a receiver (vs. transmit and/or receive) there were only a few choices. I chose the lowest cost version and found setup and configuration to be VERY easy. The only challenge is that my phone does not reconnect each time I leave transmission range causing me to select the pair button each time I wanted to stream music. Not sure if this is an issue with my phone or the design of the unit. Overall, very solid and easy to use.

Works great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Bluetooth unit works really well. The sound quality is very clear, and the pairing with phones works seamlessly. I have not had any issues pairing or using this device. The only issue I can see is that you must either leave the unit on, or press and hold to turn it off, and being that my auxiliary input is in an awkward area it is a bit of a hassle. The only other downside I can see is if you repeatedly plug in and remove the unit from the aux port, there is a possibility of the built in aux cable to break or deteriorate. I leave the unit stationary so I do not see myself having this problem anytime in the near future. Well worth the price, for the quality of audio streaming.

Just what I needed for my older model Tahoe
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have an older model Tahoe and it was so aggravating to use a cable with my phone to play music. One reason I wanted bluetooth is because I couldn't charge my phone with the cable and listen to music at the same time. This is perfect! Its small and so easy to set up. Works great!

Easy way to bring Bluetooth connectivity anywhere
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use and long-lasting battery life out of this device guarantees hours of enjoyment. I charged it once and have been using it in my daily driver truck for weeks careful to turn it off each time I get out of the truck but the battery seems to last and last. Great way to listen to all of the songs on my phone or MP3 player without needing to run a 3.5 mm cable. Pairing is a breeze and makes sharing a passengers playlist super easy without having to bumble through wires.

It does the job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this device in my car, and it does the job for which I purchased it. I only use to connect my smartphone to the car’s stereo system. It remembers the device, so when I turn on the Bluetooth in my phone it automatically connects to it (I had to pair them in the first time of course). I only gave 4 stars because it is kind of tricky to charge the device in the car: the charging connector is small and it is hard to find where to plug in. I cannot use it while charging because it gives an eclectic buzzing sound (but I can charge the phone without having the buzzing sound). Plus, the charger only works with USB ports, so I had to buy a mini USB car charger. Overall good experience.

Blue Tooth for car audio speakers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The staff at Best Buy knew exactly what I should buy. I came with an old idea and they suggested something much easier to manage. Though it took some times to charge the blue tooth, now it is absolutely no problem. It changed the landscape of my interior car: I had so many wires going and coming from everywhere, now, just one wire! Awesome! I love it and highly recommend it.

Great product!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to play music from my phone on an older stereo without Bluetooth so I went looking for an aux cable but the store rep suggested this instead. It has excellent build quality, is simple to use, and best of all...sounds great. No whine, hiss, or stray RF noise like some cheaper units I have owned. Perfect!

Great deal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I came in looking for a new aux cable to stream music from my phone through my car. The salesperson showed me this bluetooth device as an option, as the cables I had been buying eventually had connection issues. It was $30 versus the 10-15 I was planning to spend, however it has been totally worth it. It was easy to set up, and is easy to use. It does require charging, but the battery lasts days and days before charging is required. What a great find!

Works well so far
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this device to bluetooth enable an older audio receiver and it works very well. Once a device is paired with this, I haven't had to re-pair either my iPhone or an associated Bluetooth Transmitter I purchased from the same company. I have been using it for about a month, and I have been very happy with it for music. When I use it for video, the associated audio and video are slightly out of sync. The video is slightly ahead of the audio. I don't believe this is unique to this device, it is a function of bluetooth in general.

Easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is easy to set up and simple to use. Your devices must be able to discover this device to connect to it as it is the passive device in a pairing. So if you had say a set of earphones that you simply turn on and must select from a car display or computer software to pair, they will not work with this device. There are no drivers or software that would enable that with this device. But if you have a phone that you want to have play music through speakers in an older car or a car that does not have bluetooth, this device will do it as long as you have a 3.5 (normal) sound jack and a usb power port available.

Best bang for your buck.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not too pricey and I haven’t had any issues after a year of use. Great range and clear quality. Although I can’t comment on battery life as it’s consistently plugged in.

Brought my old sytem back to life
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great gadget! Although it sounds great, I almost got rid of my old stereo bc it was dated. Instead of buying a whole new system with Bluetooth, I lucked up and saw this online. I ended up buying 2!!! Now I can stream all my music and ditch my old cds...lol

Works Well and Good Battery Life
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this device because my car does not have Bluetooth. All in all, this device works very well and I would recommend it. It lasts several days without charging and can be plugged into a car charger and used at the same time. The only downfall is the one button that you use to turn it on and off. You have to hold it down for approximately 4 seconds to turn on and the same to turn off. If you hold it down just a hair longer, it goes into the Bluetooth find mode, which can be annoying. So turning it on initially can be a little irritating if you're not looking at the device light.
