Problems with Bluetooth?

I've been using it for a few days and have tried different devices and after a few minutes the sound starts to cut out and the music stops and starts, stops and stars. This sounds awful so I have to turn the car radio off and on again to fix this problem and after 10 or 20 minutes it starts up again. gets worse. I'm uploading a video to show you the problem I'm talking about.

Pros
  • inputs - USB connectivity puts an extensive library of audio files at your fingertips. The AUX input is a convenient way to connect your MP3 player. Supported enhanced bluetooth profiles include A2DP, AVRCP and HFP

Low price, powerful and dynamic next generation radio

Truly amazing features at a very low price. The blue tooth alone makes it so worth the money. I should point out that the microphone isn't ideal, but it's excellent for making or receiving calls. Add an extra plug and USB connection. I mean what I want for the tears in my eyes. AM FM with many presets. Needless to say I am very happy with this purchase. The setup is what it is no matter what you buy, but it's a winner. I soldered all my connections and then ran a ground wire, also made sure…

Pros
  • 616UAB - now with adjustable button and LCD backlighting, updated dancing LED indicators and added mute function
Cons
  • Nothing

Died less than a week later.

There were a few issues from the start. The indicators on the display were so bright they couldn't be dimmed, so we covered the bottom of the display (EQ bands) with tape and nail polish over the blue bands on the side of the knob. to dim the display enough to drive at night. The button layout was confusing: the buttons were tiny and clustered on the other side of the screen to make room for a useless display. There was no way to turn off the radio without turning it all the way down, which…

Pros
  • Auxiliary - compatible with smartphone and MP3 player audio output
Cons
  • Not sure

The speakerphone works great, radio and USB are fine

Me go from the old Pioneer with no speakerphone to this boss just for the speakerphone option. The radio has a high pitched beep on my main AM station which the old radio didn't have. USB skips the first second or two of each song. The sound lacks depth, is tinny and adding bass doesn't help much. It was incredibly cheap so I think if you don't already have a radio and are on a very tight budget (like me) then this would be an upgrade. A pleasant surprise is the hands-free function. I only made

Pros
  • Equalizer - Customize how you like to hear music with balance/fader/bass and treble and control everything with a wireless remote inside or outside your car

He caught fire. I do not recommend.

I bought this stereo about two years ago. It was good for the price. The sound quality is great and so is the Bluetooth. From a usability perspective, it was almost useless. The different input categories seem unrelated to what they actually do, and turning the volume knob not only doesn't always change the volume by the same amount, it sometimes just changes the volume in the opposite direction. . The maximum volume is 43, which I consider a crime in itself. None of this matters compared to…

Pros
  • performance. You can get 50W x 4 Max power of 616UAB to power your speakers. An amplifier is recommended to ensure your speakers work well.
Cons
  • No power

Too many problems. To return.

I ordered this with very low expectations. I wanted to connect my XM receiver via an aux cable and be able to talk hands-free. I didn't expect peace. When that is said, he comes back. Here is my problem list. Technically, the hands-free function works, but everyone complained that they could hardly hear me and that they had a lot of echo. I was damn close to screaming and people still couldn't hear me. It started on the 2nd day. Everything was crystal clear on the first day. The Bluetooth could

Pros
  • Bluetooth - Answer calls and talk on the phone without distraction. The built-in microphone picks up your voice, and the car speakers allow you to hear the interlocutor. Play and control music and apps like Spotify/Pandora wirelessly
