Review on πŸ“» Aluratek ABCT01F Universal Bluetooth Audio Cassette Receiver with Built-in Battery for Car, Boombox, Stereo, RV - Black by Michael Hemmig

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Ignition Noise in Car Stereo

This looks/feels like a fairly high quality item and was easy to pair with my phone (iPhone XR) but when I used it on my 2000 Miata I got a lot of ignition noise/static Stream through the speakers along with my podcasts and music. It may be more due to my old car than this receiver, but I haven't had this problem with any of the devices I've used before: first with a bluetooth receiver/FM modulator and now with a cassette with the hardwired adapter plugged in plugged into your phone's headphone jack (which is now an adapter that plugs into the new iPhone's Lightning connector). Revain offered to replace it with another block if mine turned out to be defective, but the second did the same so it was returned immediately too. I really wanted to get rid of all the wires, but the sound of the ignition immediately became too loud to bear. As I said, this might just be an issue with my particular machine, but be aware it's possible.
