Review on 🎧 CoolStream CarPro Bluetooth Adapter - Upgrading Your 2005-2011 Mercedes' Factory 30 Pin iPod Media Cable to Stream Music Wirelessly by Ronnie Dabolt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fabulous! for auto and automotive electronics

This review is based on Carpro using it in a 2008 Mercedes E350 fitted with factory iPod and iPhone 7 Plus connectivity. The car also has a Mercedes Bluetooth adapter for phone calls only. This little device is just amazing. It perfectly mimics connecting an iPod to a head unit. The same controls on the steering wheel and a display in the speedometer. When I stream music in the car, I love that old everyday driver again! I can access all my playlists over the internet, not just the ones stored on my phone. Oh, and while browsing the playlists, I also found my recently used Apple Music "Radio Stations". This includes a user station that is provided based on what type of music I am listening to. This is ideal for a long car ride! I've successfully used 3 different mapping apps when streaming music and they worked as expected, although the combination drained my phone's battery pretty quickly. Music playback paused when making and answering calls. throughout the conversation and continues after the conversation ends. The only problem was that the title of the song shown on the dashboard didn't match the music being played until a new song started and then everything was fine again.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Has some quirks
