Clever device that allows you to broadcast a tiny radio station to play with your car stereo that perhaps has no aux or does not support Bluetooth.
All working well, sound quality is fine, the bass button helps a lot though
First of all – check the cable lengths:
1) The USB and Jack sockets are both wired from the same coiled wire and have a maximum distance apart of around 35 to 38cm’s. If your sockets are farther apart, you will need a cable extension lead.
2) The length of the cable from the base of the unit to the USB plug is around 60cm. Anymore and the coiled cable comes into play.
Secondly: Check you have both USB and Aux In. this is a wired only unit (no radio connection via FM)
As with every Syncwire Bluetooth system, I found this to operate very well. The unit is small enough to attach discreetly to somewhere on your dash (but limited by the cable length)
Device control, Call Quality, Audio quality are all good – and sound better wired than the FM transmitter type.
It gives you a safe way of enjoying your music library on the go with ability to make and receive calls. Set up your phone properly for your car (voice activation) is the ideal way to go.
Other than the cables being a little restrictive – this is a great little Bluetooth adapter for your car.
This is a good little device, that lets you use your car stereo system for playing music from your phone or more importantly for phone calls. The device is for car stereos that don’t have Bluetooth, but do have a jack socket for audio in to the stereo, so my old ford mondeo works fine, but my citreon picassa doesn’t have the socket, so doesn’t work with that, although I guess that you could connect to a small wired speaker. It’s powered by a USB socket. It works fine and plays music/ audio books fine, and calls can kick in, you get much better quality than those devices that are fm transmitters that do the same (although they have the advantage of not needing a jack socket). This is useful, if you want the sound out of the stereo, so if you’re travelling as a family, and want to all listen to the same, otherwise, the other obvious alternative is a blue tooth headset. Given those limitations / alternatives if this device fits your requirements, it’s very good, good value and works well.
The size of the Syncwire Car Bluetooth 5.3 Receiver is nice and small. I loved the LED lights on in but found them annoying in day to day use, so I had to turn them off.
The receiver is 3M tape mounted, it does come with a spare piece of 3M tape.
The receiver was a bit of an issue to connect to my radio as the aux input and my usb jack are not close by.
My phone was simple to connect to the receiver and the receiver did a good job with the audio.
The receiver seems to be a good solution if you have an older car without Bluetooth or if like me the car radio Bluetooth can only connect to one phone and you have a work and personal phone.
I got this for my sons car that predates Android/Apple Carplay, this will allow him to use the bluetooth from his phone to output audio to the his car.
He has a USB slot and AUX input for audio devices. This plugs into both, the USB is a bit of a pain as he typically uses that to charge his phone when using Waze or other navigation software.
He will use a USB splitter so that he can carry on as normal.
The device is essentially a bluetooth receiver that pairs with your phone. the AUX cable plugs into your car that enables audio output through your cars audio. The USB simply provides power for the receiver.
The pro’s are that this converts a relatively old car to bluetooth capability without an expensive head unit. All outputted audio can go through the cars audio system, either phone calls, music navigation etc.
The negatives I found were were just one, the LEDs that surround the controls as show in the phot above are quite bright even during the day but very bright at night and quite distracting. You can disable that each time power is applied but it doesnt remember your chosen setting. I have scored it less than 5 stars simply because of this. I would have preferred to have it default to off but its a minor annoyance.
Impossible to beat at this price point and there is even a 10% off voucher too.
