Review on πŸš— Enhanced Bluetooth Car Kit by Kinivo BTC450 - Hands-Free Adapter with 3.5mm Aux Input, Apt-X Technology by Joshua Carter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It seems like it's MUCH earlier than a year ago.

Wow, it seems like it has been MUCH more than a year since I bought Kinivo. I LOVE THIS THING! I have an older car that has at least a headphone audio jack and a cigarette lighter/power port. You can plug this into your car and your phone will bluetooth connect every time you get in the car. like new car! The large main button lets you play or pause music and answer/end calls. Additionally, holding down the large main button launches the Google Assistant, which then speaks into the built-in microphone on the outer edge of the button. You may be able to optimize this for other platforms like Apple and others, but I haven't tried it. The two smaller buttons on the outer edge of the main button act as track forward or track back buttons. It comes with tape to attach to a convenient location in your car. Make sure to install it in a comfortable but also PERFECTLY SMOOTH place! If the mounting location you choose has a texture or detail on the surface, the mounting tape will come off and no longer adhere. I originally made this mistake. Luckily the guys at Kinivo give you 2 mounting straps that come with the device. I found another spot that was perfectly smooth and the button has been in that spot ever since, despite very hot summers and very cold winters.

Pros
  • Seamless music streaming from any Bluetooth-enabled device (A2DP); supports aptX for CD quality audio
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
