Anyone used a Bluetooth audio receiver?

To clarify - that's In Car Entertainment - not frozen water

Anyone used a Bluetooth audio receiver?

Post by Ammo » Tue Jan 22, 2013 1:12 am

Noticed these while looking for car kits

Just wondering if anyone has ever used one?

I currently plug my phone in via 3.5mm jack into my stereo for music, and liking the idea of having it wireless, so it just connects when i'm in the car

dont know anything about what you've listed but my head unit has it built in and it seems to work ok, connects automatically and the sound quality doesnt seem to take too much of a hit compared to mp3's

I've got Bluetooth on my head unit. It works well and lets you skip tracks using the head unit controls.

However sound quality is a lot poorer than when connected by 3.5 mm jack and annoyingly it won't disconnect from my girlfriends phone, stopping me from connecting mine.

Yeah it was more adding to an older stereo, My Pioneer works fine and it's cheaper to buy one of these to add functionality

i won't be able to control it from the stereo though, I didn't realise you could do that with Bluetooth headunits

Stuck my muusak on three SD Cards and have a choice of 32gb, 16gb & 16gb of tooons, plus some porno movies!

No more CDs laying around getting scratched.

Has Bluetooth for the phone with a phonebook feature, cant stream music via Bluetooth, but with 64gb of songs i don't really need to.

Can also plug in the iphone via USB port and play music from that.
