🚗 Enhanced Bluetooth Car Kit by Kinivo BTC450 - Hands-Free Adapter with 3.5mm Aux Input, Apt-X Technology Review

Benefits: Easy to install. Excellent sound quality for music. Excellent sound quality on incoming calls. Cons: Nobody can hear me when I'm on the phone. my music on the car radio. I can't tell much of a difference between listening to music through it and listening through a wired audio jack. This allows you to skip songs forward and backward as well as pause the music. It connects automatically when you turn on the car, which is a really neat feature. The problem is that I bought it for the…

I have a new Bluetooth enabled car for hands free audio streaming and phone use and I love it. I had an AUX input in my old car and found it very difficult to deal with the wired connection so I could stream music from my phone. This unit was very easy to connect using my existing aux-in and once you have bluetooth in your car for music/audio streaming you will never go back to the aux cable. I also like the hands-free function of the phone, it's very handy for answering a call when your phone…

Auto power on and pairing when vehicle starts. All you have to do is follow the prompts to complete the initial pairing with your phone and then leave your new device plugged into the cigarette lighter.

. Since posting the full review, I've upgraded my rating from 3 to 4 stars.

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…

For devices with older technology (Bluetooth 2.1), it still works well with my Samsung Galaxy S21. I replaced a broken MPOW Streambot 2 (have owned it for years) with this one and compared it to an Aston SoundTek A2 (slightly newer Bluetooth 4.1). Note. I tested in a quiet garage with the car off; So this is not a noise reduction test. 5/5 Music Quality: Music quality is on par with SoundTek (using Tidal's HiFi tracks), but there's a slight lag in system sounds, likely due to the lack of APT-X.
