2011 C300 Simple and Easy

This adapter did exactly what I wanted and works exactly as advertised. It was truly a plug and play setup. My cell phone recognized it immediately and connected after entering "0000". It connects automatically when I start the car. In this application I use it to stream various services and play songs stored on the phone. At least for this app it works perfectly.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Out of date

Bluetooth music for the Ferrari California 2011!

So I just bought my first Ferrari. and of course no music is streamed, just phone calls. Confirm But the previous owner chose the 30 pin connector for iPod. After looking at all the options and seeing good and bad reviews, I decided to give it a try. It's an American company, that struck me. Installation was easy, plug and play. Worked great with my iPhone Pro Max 11 running the latest Apple OS. see 14.6. But wait, he only played in the left speakers. grrr. I finally figured it out, I had to…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Can't remember

Super Aggressive Best Car Electronics Accessory

This little guy does what he's supposed to do and far more than he should. Once I'm within a few feet of my car, it overrides any Bluetooth device I'm listening to music from my phone on. If I turn off Bluetooth on my phone, it turns back on and music starts playing. I don't connect it for regular calls, but when I'm talking on WhatsApp, music plays in the background while I'm still on the call. It's so annoying. The only way to get it working only when you need it is to plug and unplug it. But

Pros
  • That's Great
Cons
  • Some Trouble

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…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Has some quirks

Fits 2011 Mercedes c300 iPod integration

Fits my 2011 Mercedes c300. My Benz has an iPod integration kit built in. The cable is 30 pin, not a media interface connector like in some other cars. Either way, it works. It is powered by an iPod connection cable. The sound is clear, the signal is stable. Spotify streams with no problems. This is a much better solution than using an additional port. The auxiliary connection generates noise (ground loop) that can be eliminated with a ground loop isolator. However, this can affect the sound…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Boring packaging

Almost perfect for my Kawasaki Vaquero

I have a Kawasaki Vaquero (stock head unit with amplifier and 6.5" speakers) and an iPhone 11 Pro Max. I tested/compared these units with the CHOOCL 1000 adapter, with this CoolStream CarPro doing best. I posted a detailed review of CHOOCL versus this device, but for some reason Ctrl+C didn't copy it, so I lost it. But here are the highlights. **Both devices pair and connect quickly (5-10 seconds), although CHOOCL was consistently 2-3 seconds faster. clearer. In fact, it was only noticeable…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Compatibility

Save money and frustration by buying ANY other brand.

Let me start by saying that all this information was obtained with the device in a 2011 Mercedes C300 with an Android phone with the latest Android updates. UPDATE: Most of the connection reliability issues (cons 1 & 2) seem to be related to the phone's ability to connect via Bluetooth. As soon as you disable this in the Bluetooth settings, the connection stabilizes. However, this doesn't fix persistent or persistent reconnect issues, so I'll be returning this junk anyway. Bought another brand…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Some cons
