Total Waste of Money!

After I put it to the test, this adapter failed to live up to its promises. The sound quality was terrible and it caused interference with other electronic devices in my car..

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Poor sound quality, interference with other devices.

It seems to work but it's a major downgrade from your Logic 7/HK system

OK - I bought an Android head unit to install Android Auto in my BMW 135i - after the Installation I found I have Logic 7 (Optical Amplifier) - so I needed this encoder. Originally bought a Revain return and installed it - a success at first! Finally my sound. For the next few days the audio was 50/50 when starting the car and I was able to fix it temporarily by unplugging and plugging the optical cable a few times. I thought it was a defective unit - sent it back and ordered a new one - same…

Pros
  • Car & Vehicle Electronics
Cons
  • Almost OK
