Reddit reviews TP-Link NFC-Enabled Bluetooth 4.1 Receiver, Wireless Audio Adapter Streaming Music from Echo Smart Phone Tablet PC to Home Car Stereo Sound System (HA100)

I have an '06 L.L. Bean in which I installed the Jazzy Engineering kit into. It's a super easy install, but you do have to take apart your radio.

That gives you Aux in, to which I installed one of the many usb powered bluetooth recievers available. Here's the one I used

​

Works fantastic for me! The BT receiver powers up with the car and my phone automatically connects and plays music. The only catch is that the Jazzy board piggybacks off of your CD player output, so you have to play the included silent CD, which cuts the sound for a couple seconds every 70-some minutes to restart the CD. You can still use the CD changer, just know that any non-silent CD will play over the top of music from your phone.

Way better quality than an FM transmitter and WAY cheaper than the JDM dash kit install, about $100 all said and done.

I have a 2008 E350 and I use this:

It connects to the car aux port and is powered by USB, I store the device in the glove box. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now and haven’t had any issues.

Yes, me too, that would be brilliant!

I've been unable to find a sole device that can do this, but if you were to get a set of cheap USB powered speakers, eg these, plugged them into your car's power socket using an adapter like this and hooked them up to a bluetooth adapter that could also be powered from the power adapter like this it should work.

A pretty hacky solution, but if no one else chimes in, it could be a way to solve the problem.

Mine just started doing this. Actually both the audio jack and the charger don't fit well in my phone and come loose. Third party chargers dont have any issues keeping a connection.

I know its shouldn't be necessary but I use this to turn my car headphone jack into a bluetooth receiver. This thing connects immediately to my phone with no effort. Although it wont transmit phone calls over bluetooth.

Most cars are equipped with bluetooth audio, if not a $15-20 dongle will solve that. My wife's pathfinder didnt have bluetooth audio so we bought this.

It even came with a NFC tag for syncing.

The headphones I have used for a few years now are also bluetooth. So I dont see not having a headphone jack as an issue.

The Unlimited Google Photos storage is strictly for Picture storage. This is currently a hot topic as well since pior to the Pixel 4 it was always Original Quality while now it is just HD Quality. I have shifted my music over to my Plex server in which I can then stream anywhere. Making the only cost the bandwith used between home and mobile internet.

This is the bluetooth unit

You will also need one of these because when you are powering the bluetooth dongle with that rear cig lighter it will add a ton of static to the sound unless you have this installed.

Ill look for pics on my phone

I have a car with no bluetooth but it has aux in. I bought a TP-Link bluetooth receiver. Works great! My car has a usb port right next to the aux port in the console to power it.

I use this, it auto connects/disconnects

I have this TP Link BT Receiver setup in my car. I've had it for about 1.5 year s. It works great with the Pixel 2. No drops or stutters and the SQ is excellent.

I went with one of these plugged into the soundbar/speakers: Bluetooth Receiver

Amazon has BT adapters for $20: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YPATOEE/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2JSC6KXZEOS9A&colid=3U1OREGYWS86R. Oh, and the TV I'd be using DOES have RCA audio outputs.

I actually didn't realize the Pioneer's $150 price was before the 20% off, thanks for pointing that out!

Yeah rhythm games are not recommended, but pretty much everything else you won't notice it. I'm using a TP Link receiver connected directly to my Sony 5.1 home, and it's really good.

I think a product like this is what you're looking for.

I bought this TP-Link Receiver a few weeks ago. It works perfect for my setup. I have a standard power plug in my car and this receiver turns on when it receives power and shuts off with the car.

Also lives neatly in armrest powered from the cigarette lighter in there. Also, sounds good through logic7

I highly recommend this aux to Bluetooth adapter - it comes with an NFC tag you can tap your phone on to pair with it!
