05sleeper Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Found this little guy at Walmart around $28 and thought i would give it a try and sure enough works great! No more wires for me. Not sure if it would be any good call wise haven't tried but music works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05sleeper Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Yup, so now everything can be hidden. No more cluster of my charging cables and aux cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 This one is cheaper and doesn't have to be charged: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ANDHBNS/]Bluetooth Adapter[/ame] Plug it into one of these: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FYNSCGW]Dual Port USB Charger[/ame] and have a spare slot to charge a device.

nouse4aname Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I've got this one. Mounted to the left side of my steering wheel so I can easily use the skip/back buttons for Pandora/Spotify and the button to bring up Siri. Power just going into a cig socket wired in by the fuse box. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31GEHVHGBML._SX270_.jpg [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009NLTW60/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]Amazon.com: Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit for Cars with Aux Input Jack (3.5 mm) - supports aptX: Cell Phones & Accessories[/ame] Mic for calls and sound quality of this soundly beat the built-in system that was in my GTI.

05sleeper Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Very nice! Guess I should of looked around some more. On the ones you guys bought does it turn on and pair automatically when you turn the car on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nouse4aname Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Yeah. My usual routine is to start up Waze and Pandora or Spotify as I walk to the car. Automatically pairs when I start the car, then stick the phone in my mount and start driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05sleeper Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Very nice! I just ordered the kinivo one, I want auto connect ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chulew Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Sounds like the answer is yes but just to be sure, will it autoconnect (iPhone 5s iOS 8) without my interaction after initial setup if I leave my phone's bluetooth radio on? If, so I'm in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtea Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I bought a cheap one on Amazon that was usb powered. Plugged that In to a dual port charger in the center console, the plugged my aux in into that. The goal was no wires. It worked, sort of, but the audio was degraded.

If, so I'm in! Yes, the Knivo auto connects to a 5s. Just have to pair it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darklegend06 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 How's the Kinivo? I had a Belkin bluetooth similar to the Kinivo BTC450, and the audio was degraded. I lost a lot of bass. Any reviews with Kinivo and the audio quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJr Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 More money but my Grom Audio works flawlessly!! http://www.gromaudio.com/store/bt3_adapters/subaru_05-09_aux-in_mp3_bluetooth_ipod_iphone_adapter.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reviews with Kinivo and the audio quality? Seemed to be just as good as a direct aux-in connection to me but I'm no audio guru. I did have to get a ground loop isolator to lose some static on my aux in line though that happened even with just an mp3 player plugged into it.
