Works great, easy set up. Excellent price!
I bought this for my girlfriend to put in her car, she has a Galaxy S3. The set up was easy just - plug the included cord into your AUX connector in your car - plug the provided power plug into a cigarette lighter port in your car (it includes a USB port to charge your phone as well!) - connect your phone via Bluetooth to the unit (how you do this may vary by phone) With the Galaxy S3 connecting to the unit was simple, just go to Settings > Bluetooth and do a scan. The BTC450 should show up and you just select it. That was all she had to do! Right out of the box the unit worked for both media audio and phone. The button will pause media audio when playing, answer a call when one is incoming, hang up when you're on a call, and start playing audio if it's paused. If you were playing music when the call comes in then it starts back up when you hang up, this I believe is handled in the phone though. There was no need to set anything up, it just worked. Sound quality is what you would expect from hands free and Bluetooth. My car has this built in and the audio from this unit matches it nicely. There is some noise when speaking to her, but it is minimal and is on par with any other Bluetooth mic I have used before. If you're an audiophile than you don't want to use Bluetooth to stream audio to your stereo. This unit is fine quality for normal use and the phone quality is excellent as well. Over all we are very happy with this purchase it works great, very easy set up (YMMV) and allows you to have a hands free experience with your phone. With her car and the S3 no feedback loop was needed, however this is common and you may have a different experience. In that case just order one from Amazon (they are pretty cheap).

STOP SUFFERING AND DRINK THE JUICE!! This thing is nothing short of "AWESOME SAUCE"!
STOP SUFFERING AND DRINK THE JUICE!! This thing is nothing short of "AWESOME SAUCE"! So, I have a 2006 Chrysler 300 Limited - 3.5L engine to be exact, and I've grown to love the car and the ride. (Something about the car pulled me away. Then I bought one when I got a great deal on it and since then, I've been all over the world thanking the almighty for a reliable and dependable ride...) What I did not like about it was the missing Bluetooth feature. some come with Uconnect, some don't. While the Aux input is nice, there's just someting liberating about knowing that, if I make a sharp turn and my phone slides off of the seat and onto the ground, I can still hear my music, take my calls, and NOT have to worry about the 3.5mm Aux jack being ripped out because the wire was snatched too hard by the force of the phone moving away with the chord still being attached to it. In comes the BTC450 Bluetooth device from Kinivo: This was a Super EZ, Jorge Jetson Fast, simple as ABC 123 type of install. Testing: Audio:::: I played all of the music on the Playlist: (I still have an iPhone so, don't dog me out. The review is about the product and the product is awesome!) Pandora came through incredibly clear; possibly with more clarity than the Aux cable input. A few other apps were tested and they all worked like a charm and the music quality was as clear as the Miami Skies. Making Phone Calls: In the refreshing words from my good old brother from the 1980's show, "Good Times", the sound quality is: DY-NO-MYYYYTE! Prior to setting up the Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit, callers would often complain about an echo. They'd also complain about not hearing me clearly. This is totally unacceptable. SOoooooo, now with this simple little quick and easy install of the Half-Dolar coin-sied bluetooth device, I'm able to drive around the city in my 2006 Chrysler 300 as if it's the latest version of the Bluetooth enabled Chrysler 300 . My clients love the fact that they can hear me clearly and i love the fact that I can talk to them - with no strings attached. (No pun intended) Controls: The controls are too easy. You can figure it all out in a flash. And, even if you're not the most tech savvy person, all you have to do is look at one short section in the manual to figure out how to pair the device, and another section that is even shorter to figure out how to make calls and navigate your music on the device. All in all, I'm happy with the deveice. Very much happy with it. With the addition of the bluetooth device from Kinivo, it feels as though I just added another luxury feature to an already stable and dependable American-made vehicle. I can live with that. Extras: The Ground loop device to block out the humming noise, you can't go wrong if you buy it. I didn't really needed it. However, it was purchased with the device so I tried it with and without it. The decision to keep it installed was made becasue i'm not an electronics guy. Coming back to troubleshoot the cause of something going wrong, versus simply playing and installing the device the way it was intended to be played and installed just makes more sense. "if you konw it's cold outside, put on a jakcet..." (Better safe than sorry.) Enjoy yours!

One of the best products of this kind
I have purchased this based on an extensive review by B. Berkowitz, so I will only add/clarify a couple of points to that great in-depth review. I have a similar situation, i.e. a car with Bluetooth support, but only for phone calls, with no way of streaming music from my Android smartphone. I wanted to get rid of clumsy audio cabling and listen to music via Bluetooth using the Kinivo adapter, but at the same time continue using the original car BT connection to receive/make phone calls. This dual setup is important, because that way the phone connection works in ALL Radio modes, not only in the AUX mode. PRO No. 1: The device is fully compliant with this dual-mode configuration. It is important to emphasize that a BT-enabled smartphone CAN be connected to multiple Blutooth devices simultaneously, and this will be causing no conflicts as far as each device provides a different SERVICE (in Bluetooth lingo each separate service is called a PROFILE). One can easily check all services the device provides going to Settings - Bluetooth (Android) and clicking on the Settings icon (looks like a pinion) located to the right of each device. There are TWO PROFILES available for BTC450: Phone Audio (used for initiating or receiving phone calls) and Media Audio (used for listening to music via Bluetooth). By default BOTH of them are enabled. If one wants to use the adapter for both phone calls and music streaming, both check boxes should be left checked. But if one wants to use car Bluetooth for calls and BTC450 only for music streaming, then it is highly recommended to UNCHECK the first Profile (Phone Audio), so that there are no conflicts among Bluetooth devices. In this case the original car Bluetooth will be the only device servicing phone calls, and BTC450 will only be used for streaming music. As mentioned by B. Berkowitz, both BTC450 and car BT phone connectivity module coexist nicely, but the key here is to disable Phone Audio for BTC450. PRO No. 2: The device is compact, has no redundant components, and has useful Prev/Next Track buttons. Personally, I think that this simple design is a huge advantage. One really doesn't need a separate display on an aftermarket part which should be as small as possible, and you can always clip your smartphone to the windshield and see all required song-related info there. Also, some people criticize BTC450 for having no backup battery, but in my view it is absolutely redundant in case of car audio, where one always has power when listening to music through the car audio system. While the display or a backup battery are just not needed in real-life situations (just adding weight/cost to the system), the Prev/Next buttons are useful, because it is easier to press one of these compared to reaching for a tiny onscreen button on the smartphone. In my case the device got connected and started working immediately and effortlessly, and everything is working as expected. OBSERVATIONS: 1. In my car the power socket is always on, so I expected the device to be always on, that could potentially result in a quicker battery discharge over time if left plugged in. In reality the device stayed on while my phone was within reach (including overnight at home, where it was within the reliable connection distance), but when I spent an hour away from the car, the BTC450 actually went to sleep. It didn't create any problems, I just pressed the main button once, and got reconnected immediately. But this probably means that the device does NOT stay on endlessly when the phone is removed, but rather goes into an energy-saving sleep mode. So one still needs to activate/reconnect it when returning to the car (which is very easy). For cars where 12V plugs are only switched on together with the ignition this should not be a problem at all, as far as they should be auto-connecting to the phone when powered on. 2. My only minor suggestion is to provide a removable power connector plugged into a separate USB socket. At the moment one has no other choice but to use the 12V connector included, and the BTC450 power connector is attached directly to the 12V adapter. In case smth. happens to the adapter, or one needs an adapter supporting a higher current, this would complicate things. If a standard USB detachable power cable was used for BTC450, any dual-USB car adapter would work...

Even works great at home!
I bought this to use in my 2006 Prius, with my Galaxy Note 3 phone (Android). I have 64 gig of mp3's that I stream directly from my phone. It works beautifully, set-up was a snap. I climb into my car and the connection happens automatically, and it starts playing right from where it left off when I got out of the car. Incoming calls pause the music, one touch of the button and I'm on speaker phone, which is very clear from both ends. Touch the button to hang up and the music fades back in, flawless. The only drawback is that (like all the others) there is no way to extend the length of the button cord. The assumption (apparently from every manufacturer) is that the button goes on you dash, the power plug is somewhere below your car stereo, and the stereo has an auxiliary input on it's face. However, in the Prius the power jack and aux input are hidden away in the center arm rest (which is nice), so the button can't be easily placed on the dash as the cord gets in the way. I'll either have to find a place on the arm rest, or try to run the button wire under the carpet. No points off, because it seems all the other manufacturers make the same assumption. By the way, there is a slight hum from ground loops in the Prius, but a cheap isolator fixed that. AND NOW FOR THE FUN PART. I have a workshop at home. I have an old stereo tuner/amp wired to ceiling speakers in my shop. But I have several problems. 1) Reception is terrible even with an external antenna. 2) When my phone rings I seldom hear it over the machines and stereo. 3) I don't want the phone in my pocket, if I run into the corner of a workbench it might shatter the display. 4) If I do hear the phone ring, I have to turn off the stereo, the tool, then wipe the oil off my hands before trying to answer it. So here is the solution: Even though the power adapter is designed to plug into a 12 volt outlet, it can also be run by plugging a USB cord into it, then into a USB wall-wart (transformer) adapter. So I found an extra USB wall-wart, plugged it into the switched outlet on the back of the stereo (or you could just plug it into the wall outlet), and connected it to the car kit USB port. I plugged the audio jack into a stereo mini headphone to RCA adapter cable, and plugged that into the RCA jacks on the back of the stereo. To keep the exposed prongs on the 12 volt adapter from shorting out, I just plugged it into a 1/2" pvc (slip on) end cap. It fits snugly and is dirt cheap. So now when I walk into my shop I just turn on my stereo, and lay my phone on top of it (with the cover closed). It connects automatically and starts playing. I can skip forward or back using the car-kit buttons. If the phone rings, the music fades out, I hear the phone ringing, I push the car-kit button with my oily finger and I have an instant speaker phone, without ever touching my cell phone. And for my s@#$y FM reception, I subscribed to the Sirius internet radio, and now I can also stream hundreds of ad-free radio stations through my phone into my stereo using my free wifi. Heaven!

Best option for cars with an auxilary input
I love my car but it's just old enough that it doesn't have built-in Bluetooth. I had been using a Bluetooth earpiece for several years but I find it annoying. I keep forgetting to take it with me and I even lost it once and had to buy another one. My wife's car has integrated Bluetooth and I had been looking at solutions that are compatible with my car. I'd seen a lot of speakers that hang off your sun visor but I don't think I like that design. I then found a small device from Belkin that plugs into your aux jack and mounts somewhere on your dashboard. It was $79.99 and had fairly decent reviews, but then I found this. The Kinivo BTC450 looks very similar to the Belkin but is literally half the price. I figured for $39.99 I could take a chance and see if it worked, and if it didn't, it would be a lot easier to swallow than the $80 Belkin. I have to tell you this is a great device. I have had no issues with it and works great. Since there are really no settings for this, everything has to be done through your phone, which in my case is an iPhone 4S. To use it, you need to plug the power adapter into the 12-volt socket and the aux cord into the aux input. In my case, they are in my center console under the armrest. Then you mount the device somewhere you have a nice flat surface, which in my case is on the panel near the gearshift. Now, turn on your car's power and pair it with your phone. It's easier to pair than any other device I've used. To use it, you need to select the auxiliary input on your stereo. This device can be used for two things. First and foremost, it allows you to make handsfree calls. I've yet to actually make a call while driving, but I've received several calls and all you need to do is push the big button to answer and again to hang up. If you're listening to the radio or a CD, you'll first need to change the stereo's input to Auxilary so you can use it (if you don't the other person will be able to hear you as the microphone is built into the device, but you won't be able to hear them). The second use is that it allows you to stream music wirelessly to this device. For years I've been plugging my phone (and before that, my MP3 player) into the aux jack using a 2 or 3-foot cord. Now I don't need to do that anymore. Less wear and tear on your headphone jack and you no longer need to use the phone's controls to change tracks. Instead, there are two buttons on the top of this device that allows you to skip to the next or previous track. Need to pause the song? Push the big button. If no music is playing and you push the button, it will start playing. The sound quality is indistinguishable from a wired connection. I recall in the past people had to use a wireless FM transmitter to play music from a portal CD player to a car stereo. I had trepidation at first regarding this device because of that past experience as those never worked well and this is light years beyond that technology. What's really nice is that if you are listing to music and someone calls you, it will pause the music player, allow you to talk, and when you are done, it unpauses the music where it left off. Another great thing is that this unpairs from your phone when you turn off the car and re-pairs when you start it back up. You don't need to manually do this which is nice and you shouldn't have an issue when you leave your car and the Bluetooth is still activated. Just a few caveats...first time I received a call with this unit, the ringer, which plays though your car speakers, blew me away. It was way too loud. I had to turn down the ringer volume on my phone. If you use your stereo's volume knob, then you'll have a hard time hearing to the person you're talking to, therefore you will need to find a happy medium. Also, I had to turn up the volume on the music player (which I believe has no effect on your battery unlike a wired connection) because when you skip tracks you hear a loud beep confirming the button press. If you don't adjust the volume on your phone, the beeps will be extremely loud and annoying. Luckily, I was able to find the correct volume levels. Also, if you turn up the volume on your phone, you won't need to turn the volume up so high on your car's stereo. When I first started using this device I heard a buzzing sound coming from my speakers. I saw that Amazon was selling a ground loop isolator that would supposedly fix this, but it turned out my car's stereo was turned up too high so adjusting the volume on the car and the phone took care of this problem. I should also note that the 12-volt adapter has a USB input so you can charge your phone using a separate charging cable. This is a nice feature. It also comes with an extension cable for the aux wire if needed. The wires coming out of this unit are very thin and I assume delicate. Since my unit is mounted near the gearshift in the center console and the cord runs along the top of the center console, I ran a risk of catching it on something and I am sure a good yank would damage it. So what I did was got a wire wrap from Home Depot, wrapped it around the cable, and then pushed it in the gap between the bottom of the center console and the floor. This way, very little of the wire is exposed and therefore it should be very safe from damage. While not as nice or convenient than having Bluetooth built into your car, this is the best option I've seen and kills two birds with one stone -- I can use it for calls as well as listing to music and I don't need to worry about plugging anything in each time I enter the car. Definitely recommended!

Excellent solution for Bluetooth connectivity
I've owned Kinvo products before (two earlier models of this device) and time and time again, it works great right out of the box. After my last Kinivo adapter gave up the ghost (after getting too many things spilled on it due to bad placement... my bad), I tried out other, newer, and supposedly better devices to get my iPhone to play music in my 2007 RAV4 (which, luckily has an AUX jack and good speakers). I tried other inline AUX dongles and those that play directly through a static FM signal, but they usually lack in the sound quality department, are rather large, and let's face it, if you don't live in the hinterlands, the FM transmitter must fight for signal space on the FM spectrum. Even then most devices have terrible ground loop feedback problems (lots of high-pitched whine), and you lose most of the mid-range and bass, making music sound awfully tinny and annoyingly "bright." Ground loop isolator devices help with the high whine issue, but you lose even more mid and bass. Even with some models offering "bass boost" options, they just plain suck and you're left with lows, intense highs, and no mid. On older car stereos that max out the volume, you get no oomph in your music whatsoever. The Kinivo BTC450 does the job perfectly without all the bells and whistles that are largely unnecessary. You can still call out to Siri, still talk on the phone hands-free, but most of all the music sounds fantastic. Pairing is straightforward and easy (worst thing you can say about the Kinivo is that it can lose the BT signal when the car is off for extended periods, but then just re-pair and you're set to go). The music sounds like it ought to... highs, lows, and mid-range all balanced out and sound robust instead of weak. This Kinivo model BT adapter (the only one being distributed through Amazon at the moment so far as I know) does the job even better than the previous models and it comes with a ground loop isolator that I found I didn't even need... I plugged the 3.5 stereo jack into the AUX port (there is no FM transmitter, and so what... AUX line in gives best quality) and paired it up... in under a minute I had my music playing, loud and well-equalized (bass, mid, high). It costs more than ever (used to cost around $25) and it definitely costs more than junky FM transmitters (with or without aux out). It can't give me data on my car battery's health and it can't play music from external sources (thumb drive or micro card), and you can only plug one USB cable in for juice. But so what... Again, it does what I need it to do... Play my music! Well worth the purchase and recommended (highly recommended if you own a car made before 2015). I'm pretty sure it works with Android devices just as well.

Excellent Cheaper Alternative to the Belkin Bluetooth Car Adapter
I am very pleased with this purchase. Originally I was going to purchase the Belkin model, but the price of it was increased. I decided to purchase this one since it was cheaper and just hope for the best. I am pleased to say that I have been using this for a week now with out any issues. Audio quality is great. The device has a forward and backward track buttons on the top and comes with 2 adhesive pads to mount it to your dash (1 is an extra). The center of the device acts as a large play/stop/call button. Press the center button once to play or stop music, or to answer a call. Press it twice to call the last person you talked to. Pairing the device with my android phones was really easy (just hold the center button down for a couple of seconds). The device is charged through your cigarette lighter, but has a usb input in the back of the charger so you can still charge your phone with a micro usb to usb cable (assuming Droid phone). The microphone on the device seems to work great (I have had no complaints from people regarding the quality of the call on their side). The only minor problem with this device is that only one device can be paired with it at a time. This device coupled with a Bluetooth Autoconnect app, means I can literally just sit in my car and begin to play music from my Phone without taking it out. This has significantly reduced the cable clutter that used to be required for me to connect my phone. If you have an aux jack in your car and are looking for bluetooth adapter I would definitely suggest this one. Pros: - Forward/Backward track buttons on top - Easy set up - Very litter effort to connect to the device each time - Good Microphone phone - Excellent Quality and no skipping - Cheaper than alternative - Ability to charge your phone and the device at same time - Relatively small and non-intrusive to add to dash Cons: - Can only pair one device at a time Update 12/4/13: I've been using one in my car and one in my wife's for almost a year now and they are both still working fine.

the buzzing is HORRIBLE!!!!
It was very difficult for me to give this item a star rating because there are a lot of great features but some pretty bad ones as well. So, I have broken down each of the Kinivo's major functions and given them individual star ratings. Ease of set up: FIVE stars. But you have to have both a cigarette lighter plug in and an aux. cord input. Overall, was incredibly easy to set up with my iPhone 6. Directions are very clear. Look of product: FOUR stars. There are cords that hang. The cords are black and thin, but they're annoying. However, I do love how small the actual device is. Once it's mounted it blends well, especially with our dash which is black. Sound quality: TWO stars. Here is where my ratings begin to decline. I wanted so badly for this to sound just like my phone when it is plugged directly into the aux. cord, or a CD, but it doesn't, even though other reviewer's said it does. Because of the bluetooth connection, there is a HORRIBLE high pitch buzzing in the background that gets louder as you turn up the volume in the car. I've learned to turn my phone's volume all the way up to minimize the buzzing, but if you want to listen to music louder than your phone plays, you'll need to adjust the volume in the car. The buzzing is just awful. It's drowned out when songs play, but if a song gets quiet, or when a song ends before the next one plays, it's there and so loud. Phone quality: ONE star. This is horrible. Because of the buzzing, talking on the phone using this device is absolutely impossible. After trialling many times, I've realized that the person on the other end of the phone can hear me just fine, but I can't hear them. In order for their voice to be loud enough for me to hear, I have to turn the volume WAY up, and that's when the buzzing just becomes unbearable. It sounds like the person I'm talking to is underwater, or at the end of a very long tunnel using a normal voice. Before when I plugged directly into aux. I had no issues with phone calls and made them frequently while driving so that I could be hands free. Now I don't even bother. Bluetooth connectivity: THREE stars. What is great about the Kinivo is that you can have multiple devices set to pair with it, but it can only play from one at a time. My boyfriend and I both have our iPhones paired with it but when we are in the car together, one of us has to shut it off so that the other can play their phone's music. This doesn't bother me at all. I also love how whenever I start the car, the Kinivo beeps and lets me know that it has successfully connected with my phone, without me having to do anything. That is great. BUT, here is what really bothers me--when I have to make a phone call, after the Kinivo has paired with my iPhone, I tell my phone to use speaker (because of the horrible sound quality) since it automatically defaults to the Kinivo while it's paired. Okay, this is no problem, my phone listens. But here is the problem...when I'm done with the phone call and put my phone back in Kinivo mode to listen to music, the sound doesn't play. It's just silent. The song is playing on my phone and my phone says it is paired with the Kinivo but absolutely NO sound is coming out....aside from the buzzing of course. So I'm left to un-pair, then re-pair which I don't like doing while I'm driving, so I usually just forget about it and don't listen to music for the rest of the ride. Overall, it's a great idea and SO much more convenient than dealing with a short aux. cord. But at this point, the buzzing is just SO BAD that I don't think it's worth it. I'm a music fanatic and appreciate great sound quality. This product falls very short in the sound category, which I believe is the most important one. I bought this because I had gone through four aux. cords in 13 months and was tired of paying for replacements. Now I'm thinking that is my best bet. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to return my Kinivo or not. Attached are some pictures of how the Kinivo looks in my 2011 Jeep Liberty.

Einfach perfekt!!
Dieses Teil ist einfach genial! Die Sprachqualität ist perfekt, kein Mensch merkt, dass man über eine Freisprecheinrichtung telefoniert: die Lautstärke ist uneingeschränkt so, als hielte man das Handy direkt am Ohr. Das Streaming von Musik oder Hörbuch er funktioniert problemlos und ohne Aufwand! Das Pairing funktioniert problemlos und ohne lange Installation; auch mit mehreren unterschiedlichen Handys (bei mir: iphone 4s, samsung galaxy s4 und BlackBerry Z10). Auf eine Nachfrage beim Herstellers erhielt ich umgehend eine freundliche Antwort, die das Problem sofort löste. Unfassbar praktisch ist auch der zusätzliche USB Ausgang an der Buchse für den Zigarettenanzünder, der gleichzeitiges aufladen bzw. Eine Stromversorgung des Handys sicherstellt! Kombiniert mit einer Kabelführung (s.u.) schafft man sich so gut weniger als 50 Euro eine funktionale Multimedia Anlage im auto, dir qualitativ mit einbausystemen lecker mithalten kann!! Uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung für jeden, der eine günstige, hochwertige und unauffällige Freisprecheinrichtung sucht!! Was ich dazu sagen muss, ist, dass ich die Anlage in einem skoda roomster betreibe, bei dem Zigarettenanzünder und AUX Eingang unmittelbar nebeneinander an der Mittelkonsole hinter der Handbremse angebracht sind, was für die Inbetriebnahme natürlich optimale Bedingungen schafft. Noch einige Tipps: Ich betreibe das Gerät mit einer Magnethalterung, die an der Lüftung angebracht ist. Das kann ich schwer empfehlen, weil es super praktisch und kostengünstig ist (man findet bereits Lösungen für ca. 10 Euro bei Amazon, die ihren Zweck wunderbar erfüllen. Wenn man sich dazu entscheidet ist allerdings anzumerken, dass man die Lüftung beim telefonieren runter drehen oder abschalten sollte, da es sonst unangenehme Nebengeräusche produziert... Ein weiterer Tipp: um den Kabelsalat zu vermeiden habe ich mich für klebbare Kabelführungshilfen entschieden, die es ebenfalls für wenig Geld bei amazon gibt. Hier würde ich allerdings nicht sparen: ich hatte zunächst eine sehr günstige Lösung gewählt, die dann jedoch immer wieder ab fielen und wahnsinnig unpraktisch waren. Ich habe sie nun zusätzlich mit Power strips befestigt, was auch geht, aber wenn ich es nochmal zu tun hätte würde ich dafür einfach etwas mehr Geld in die Hand nehmen; das lohnt sich auf alle fälle, da die herumliegenden Kabel ansonsten das einzige sind, was an dieser Einrichtung stört! Volle Punktzahl!!

One month review: Excellent product
I had been looking at a bluetooth hands-free option for my car and looked at many popular brands (Belkin). I was also concerned with the fact that bluetooth being a wireless technology, I will be loosing quality of the sound when streaming music over bluetooth. I zeroed in on this one after reading some excellent review on Amazon.com (US). Kinivo may not be a very popular brand but this product is well worth every penny. This product is an excellent fit for any car. I have been using this well over a month now and can say I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. Pros: 1. If you own an AptX supported device like the Xperia Z3 look no further, this bluetooth device is AptX compatible, and gives an extremely superb audio quality when streamed over bluetooth 2. Auto connects when the car is started 3. Good in-call voice quality 4. Supports voice commands with Google Now (Use the BTNow app to switch from voice dialler to Google Now) to speak commands to get directions, play music etc Cons: (Nothing major. Works perfect!!) 1. Wires are a quite thin & delicate, but if you install the kit with care, they shouldn't bother you much. You are not really going to wire on and off this thing every time. Its a car kit. It just stays there once you install.

Ottima qualità e funzionalità vs prezzo
Ottimo il mio feedback sul servizio e tempi di spedizione di questo articolo. Il prodotto corrisponde appieno alla descrizione, di seguito una breve descrizione dei pro e dei contro cominciando proprio da questi ultimi: Contro: 1. Il cavetto che congiunge il corpo del vivavoce è saldato e non è scollegabile dalla presa accendi sigari (il cavetto uscente dal vivavoce conduce il segnale audio + alimentazione 5V e 10cm verso la fine si sdoppia. Sarebbe stato bello avere un jak anche sulla presa accendisigari; sia per prolungare il filo di alimentazione senza dover ricorrere ad taglio + giunta a mano, sia per semplificare il passaggio dei fili all' interno dei pannelli dell' auto durante l' installazione. Tuttavia, sono riuscito ad installarlo in 10 minuti sulla mia BMW 320 E93 senza dover far alcun taglio o prolunga, alzando soltanto la cuffia del freno a mano e svitando 3 viti sotto lo sterzo. 2: La presa accendisigari ha il cavetto che esce lateralmente verso il vivavoce lasciando in alto una presa libera USB da 1A. La presa USB è utilizzabile solo per uscita alimentazione e non gestisce memorie USB con files audio. 3. L' audio delle chiamate telefoniche sulle casse della macchina ha un volume leggermente piu' basso rispetto a quello della radio. Non è regolabile e finisco sempre per dover alzare il volume durante le telefonate per poi riabbassarlo quando commuto nuovamente sull' ingresso musicale. 4. Se chiudo la chiamata dal telefonino spesso si scollega il bluetooth. Consiglio di terminare tutte le chiamate premendo il tasto rotondo del corpo del vivavole, lo stesso che si preme per aprire la telefonata. PRO: 1. Dimensioni ultra compatte, tutto il dispositivo e l' elettronica sono racchiusi nel corpo rotondo del microfono, bottone, tasti avanti/indietro. 2. Audio di ottima qualità. Riproduce benissimo i files musicali dal telefonino quando esso è collegato in bluetooth. I tasti di avanzamento ed arretramento funzionano ed agiscono sull' avanzamento della playlist sul telefonino. Durante le telefonate, il microfono capta bene la voce anche se posizionato non vicinissimo rispetto all' autista. Io l' ho messo piuttosto in basso per semplicità di installazione. 3. Questa la mia sequenza di utilizzo su BMW E93. Entrando in auto con il bluetooth acceso il telefono si aggancia automaticamente, non c'e' bisogno di toglierlo dalla tasca. a) Ascoltando lo stereo --> Sento lo squillo di una chiamata entrante soltanto sul telefono che ho in tasca. Commuto l' ingresso dello stereo su aux-in e posso farlo direttamente dal bottone sullo sterzo della macchina. Premo il tasto rotondo del corpo vivavoce ed inizio la conversazione. b) Se ho già la radio impostata sull' ingresso aux --> Sento lo squillo sulle casse auto. Premo il tasto rotondo del corpo vivavoce ed inizio la conversazione.

Casi perfecto
Lo dicho, casi perfecto si se sabe lo que se pide y para que se pide. Ha cumplido con creces mis necesidades, la verdad que es un aparato asombroso, no por lo que es ni por lo hace, sino por como lo hace. Instalacion rapidisima incluso habiendolo semi-intstalado, ocultando los cablecillos. Ademas el emparejamiento con el movil bien rapido y sencillo, como tienen que ser estas cosas para que no se conviertan en un problema para nadie. Calidad de audio estupenda, aunque debo reconocer que no soy ningun sibarita de la musica, y en cuanto al manos libres funciona bien y se oye y me oyen de forma correcta. Una unica pega, es que tube que comprar un antiparasitario porque me hacia un ruido de acople algo desagradable, pero fue colocarlo y se acabo los problemas de ruidos. Resumiendo, recomendadisimo.
