USB Bluetooth Receiver Adapter, Wireless Audio Adapter Car Kit Music Receiver for Home Stereo/Car Stereo Sound System Speakers with 3.5mm Cable.(Aux in) (Yet-M1)

I have a nice old set of Klipsch desktop speakers with RCA line inputs, which previously I had wired to an RCA-to-3.5mm jack, which would then plug into an old Android tablet to play music. The old android tablet finally went to the dev/null bucket in the sky, and there's almost nothing left that uses a 3.5mm audio output. Enter this little doohickey -- I already had a few Anker AC-powered cubes which provide two port USB for power, so I grabbed one and stuffed it into my switched AC outlet plugstrip (same one the speakers themselves are powered by.) So now when I hit the switch in my garage to activate all my lights and speakers and whatnot, this dude powers up and connects to my phone so I can pipe in some tunes. My overall rating is five stars, I did dock a single star for sound quality because there is a slight but noticeable degradation in the overall quality of the output vs using the oldschool analog connection. It really only manifests in certain types of music and even then only in a few demanding tracks. The good news is, for actual garage use, I'll really never notice because the garage is typically noisy for all manner of other reasons. And really, if you're wanting pure sound quality, why are you on a cheap Bluetooth device? It's perfect for my use case and for the pricetag.

It works exactly as described: I plugged it into my 2012 Honda Fit's USB port and it plays music from your phone via Bluetooth, no extra wires necessary. There is a significant delay between the phone and the actual sound that comes out of your speakers, so be aware of that. Additionally and unfortunately, the sound quality takes a noticeable dip. This could be Bluetooth or the USB quality on the vehicle (I will test with a USB thumb drive to compare and update the review). The absolute worst part about the device are the noises for when it turns on and connects. Both sounds play at max volume and are painful to hear. The real kicker is that the connection sound is ripped from Windows (Device connected noise) and it clips, making a loud screech. I have to start my car with the radio off so I don't hurt my ears or my speakers. Not a deal breaker, but disappointing. If it weren't for those sounds, it would be excellent. Update: I do not recommend this device. I tried a few different setups for music listening in my car and the worst option is this thing. A normal USB drive with 320kbps MP3 files sounds much better, gives you track information, and responds immediately. If you prefer streaming your music rather than saving files, I would much sooner recommend a Bluetooth receiver in the auxiliary port if your car has one. Save your money, your ears, and your speakers.

I wasn't sure it was going to work. I have 2012 Honda, which when I bought it would only play Apple products through the radio, AND you have them hooked up to a USB cord. I did not have an Apple device at the time, nor did I have one for the next 11 years. Last April, I got my first iPhone, but I didn't want to have to hook it up to the usb. So I bought this Bluetooth receiver - hoping that if I plugged IT into the USB port, it would work. I didn't have a lot of faith, but I should have, because it worked like a charm. My phones connects to it right away whenever I start the car. The sound quality is good. I can tuck the receiver in the storage compartment in the arm rest. All in all, very happy. Would recommend.

On my 2016 RAM truck, I just plug this adapter into the USB port, sync it with bluetooth to my phone, and play any song on my android phone through the truck's sound system. It only works in my 2011 GMC if I also use the audio adapter cable that is included, and the sound quality is very poor. There is a hum in the audio using the supplied cable and it will not work at all just using it plugged into the USB port in this car. It works great with my Bose radio in the house. Just be aware that it may not work with some older cars.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this works in my 2014 Chevy Captiva _without_ the use of the 3.5mm aux cable. The car recognizes it as a USB device, my iPhone is able to connect via Bluetooth to this device, and I am able to wirelessly play audio from the phone. Even better, the car’s play/pause button works. The car’s infotainment display does _not_ display album info, but I don’t mind. There is a ~2 second delay between starting to play music and it actually being played in the car. And occasionally, the audio quality inexplicably drops. Usually just skipping to the next song resolves the issue. Overall, this does exactly what I wanted: it lets me get in the car, turn it on, and start playing music or podcasts from my phone without having to take it out of my pocket/bag.

The 4 second delay is not a huge deal, except during GPS navigation when you miss a turn because the instructions are 4s behind you google maps app. The occasional connection drops are not a huge deal and the connection returns quickly. There is a loud pop/instantaneous static noise on connection which is annoying. I always turn off my radio when I get a call. Overall, it works, but has a lot of annoying "features" or glitches and I would reccomend trying a different device. I used this with my 2010 Honda Fit glovebox USB connection.

I use it on my 2013 Mini Cooper which has a USB port adjacent to the auxiliary input. The USB is on my car only workable with music on the thumb drive but it works as a great charger for the device I just keep it plugged in at all times. And with the included mini jack cable it's super simple and works like a charm. The sound output quality is great and very reliable pairing to my Android phone over Bluetooth. For the money it's a good. So nice to have a Bluetooth audio solution for an older model car that dealing with those silly FM transmitters.

It started off great when I plugged this into my audio receiver. I thought, this thing is great! I can listen to my music on my MPB and do work. Well after about 10 songs it cuts off then I have to unplug it and plug it back in to work again. PIA. It works as advertised but just for a short while. So pick your fav song list and enjoy for about 45 min worth.
