Adds Bluetooth capability to an older VW Beetle

This is one of the easiest conversions I've ever made to add Bluetooth capability to a car if it doesn't have an auxiliary jack. Once you've bought a radio eject tool, all you have to do is disable the CD changer connector and replace it with this device. Your CD changer is now a Bluetooth adapter. Kids today don't even know what a CD changer is, so don't skip it. I used double sided tape to secure it under the dash and it's light enough that you don't have to worry about it popping out. Very…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Unreliable

Works great - 2003 RS6

My RS didn't come with a CD changer so I had to code it which is very easy. Plugged this device in, connected the USB-A to USB-C cable to the magnetic charger and mounted the mount to the air vent, worked well - first time. charger when you turn off the car, otherwise the radio will not recognize it for some reason when you want to use the device next time, and the display will show "NO CD". When I figured that out I was happy, also the charger has a light that stays on even when the key is…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Minor issues

Fits my 2010 Volkswagen Beetle

Originally ordered BTS-VW2 because my car was listed in the description. It turns out not all 2010s have a white two-row connector on this model. I have a blue plug for that. After returning it and receiving BTS-BW1, I couldn't be happier. Installation took maybe half an hour, and I spent most of my time trying to figure out where to hide the blue box. It turns out that when you insert the cable into the hole for the antenna cable, you can pull it out again, after which the box slides into the…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Works like a charm and is way cheaper than the alternatives!

I don't usually write reviews but this item is too good to pass up. The local audio shop recommended connecting Blutooth audio to my factory Audi s4. It comes with an adapter cable so it's really plug and play. I attached a ground wire to a screw on the back of the factory unit, which worked fine. The sound quality is better than I hoped and WAY better than the crappy radio stations I used to listen to. The only downside, just to avoid confusion, is that it uses the power and input of a CD…

  • Price

01 a4 = YES Best in Automotive and Automotive Electronics

Sorry I didn't take a picture but I just installed it on my 2001 Audi A4 with symphony radio and it took less than 5 minutes, very happy with the sound quality and I don't have a Bose stereo in my car, you don't have to turn down the volume on your phone to make it sound good. I will say one thing that prevented me from giving 5 stars is when you turn on the car in full radio it says the cruz radio is on!, bluetooth mode is on!. Really stupid, I wish he would just do it and say nothing but old…

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • It was possible to choose a newer model

Update (September 10th, 20th) Unstable Bluetooth connection.

Update 10 Sep 20 I received a new product today and I no longer have connection problems. I have updated my review as I was able to get a replacement very quickly and at no extra cost. I also sent a defective item for a refund. Thank you for your help in resolving this issue. (07 SEP 20) We are currently experiencing connection issues ranging from freezing to permanent disconnects. When first turned on, the Bluetooth connection is stable, but after a minute or two the connection/music stutters…

Pros
  • Shipping was very fast
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
