Review on 🎧 Coodio USB Bluetooth Music Audio Stereo Receiver: Perfect for Car AUX, Home Mp3 Speaker, iPhone by James Thakur

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for car

Simple, works great in my car. It's very simple, it just turns on when the power or accessory ignition is turned on and pairs with my phone with a nice "Bluetooth mode - paired" (heavy Asian accent :P) that goes over the car's speakers to let you know it's working. That quiet voice also alerts you when it can't connect, so you can't leave the house without your phone if you hear it. speakers if you put them in the car audio aux input. This sounds like a screech or trill that gets louder as you increase your speed or turn on your headlights. The solution is to buy a ground loop isolator and place it between this device and the auxiliary terminal. You can get them here at Revain for less than $20. I've had other similar products before and they usually only last a year or so before somehow breaking. For less than $10, I decided it was better to just buy another one than look for a better solution. There are other products with more features, but they all have something I don't need or that makes them impractical. Some have a battery, but they all have to be turned on manually when you get in the car, and many of them can't charge and work at the same time, so you mute the sound halfway through the drive. Some have speakerphones that can't be turned off, which I don't need (my car has BT speakerphone, just no audio streaming), and if I did it would have to run wires all over the dash to get the control options were present. For me (and I bet many others) this is a super cheap 'plug and play and forget' answer to the problem of listening to streaming audio from my phone in the car - no ringing, no beeping (once you get rid of it the ground loop! ), it just works.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
