UGREEN Aux to Bluetooth 5.4 Adapter 3.5mm Bluetooth Receiver for Car USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Jack Kit with Built-in Microphone Aux Input for Hands-Free Calls Compatible with Car Speaker and Home Audio

This thing could KILL aftermarket car radio sales!!! I was skeptical for $10 but this adapter connects to my phone before my car’s screen even boots up!!! Forget messing with plugging in a cable. Unless this adapter fails within a month or so, 10/5 stars!Design is so compact I doubted it was even what I thought it was. I LOVE simple, elegant solutions like this. One of my first thoughts was, “I need to see what else uGreen makes that I’ve been thinking about!” This thing HAS TO BE like a loss leader gateway drug to get you hooked on their products or something. I just can believe how well and quickly it works! Stuffed it in my mostly empty center console and it’s good to go. It just works shockingly well, what is the catch?!?

This product takes your old, dumb radio and makes it a good Bluetooth phone and music connection for only $10!I did not realize when buying this product that the USB plug-in had a microphone on it so when I answered a call in the car for the first time I was surprised to see it pop up as a Bluetooth call. I immediately asked the person on the other end how did I sound and they said I sounded clear. I have since asked multiple people if the call voice quality is good from my end to them and everyone says it works well. As you can see in one of my pictures the 12 volt plug/USB plug-in is well below my knee and the microphone still picks up my voice well even when the AC is blowing on high and my speech is pointed towards the windshield.Music quality is good.. no complaints or issues. Immediately connects to phone when key is on.Would absolutely recommend to anybody looking for a cheap, simple Bluetooth solution.

This Bluetooth adapter works great the USB plug in is very durable the size is very small it's great easily fits into the radio in the vehicle I can have the phone out of the car and the range is great it still picks up on the Bluetooth. It was very easy to set up it's plug and play and then connect your phone when you find the Bluetooth name in the settings. The item is durable I've left it in the car with 140° f for many months and it's still fully functional.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have a 2016 Equinox. My calls connect via Bluetooth but music was wired. This adapter is so easy to set up and use. When I get in it connects immediately. When my phone was connect to the wire it wouldn’t always work and would display this indexing prompt. With this adapter that doesn’t happen. Only thing I don’t like is the music that is playing doesn’t display on my screen anymore but it did when I used the wire that’s why I gave a 4 and not a 5

Update (10/30/2023): Samsung to the rescue!So I recently discovered that my Galaxy S20 has a routines feature where you can program the phone to automatically do certain tasks when certain conditions are met. So in this case I was able to use that to automatically play music on Spotify when my phone connects to this bluetooth device. So that basically solved the biggest gripe I had with this product. Even though it was my phone that fixed the issue and not the manufacturer of the device, I am still going to update this review to 5 stars because now I basically have no issues with it. Anyways, feel free to read the original review below.I love this thing! So much better than the previous two bluetooth adapters that I had in my car. I used to have a battery powered aux adapter and a cigarette lighter port powered FM radio adapter. The battery powered one sounded good but was so inconvenient because the battery would constantly die on me during car rides. I could keep it plugged in but then I'd have a cable dangling down from it which was annoying. Also because it had a battery, it was bigger and bulkier than it needed to be, which cluttered up my dashboard for no good reason. The FM adapter was a bit more convenient (no wires!) but it sounded terrible. The sound was tinny and full of static. Almost unusable because of that. And because my car's cigarette lighter is always powered on, even when the car is off, I had to unplug it and plug it back in every-time I used it or else risk killing my car battery. Not a big deal, but annoying enough that it caused me to rarely used it.This one solves basically every problem that my previous two adapters had. For one, it's powered by USB, so I don't have to worry about any batteries dying. Plus, I can power it by plugging it in to my car stereo's USB port which does power on and off with the car, so I don't have worry about plugging in and unplugging every time I get in and out of the car. Also, it has the form factor of basically just a cable, so it take up almost zero room on my dash. Super sleek and discrete!On top of that it connects to the stereo with an aux connection so it sounds fantastic and doesn't have any of that FM radio static. I even noticed that I don't have to crank up the volume on the stereo like I had to with my previous aux adapter. I guess since it was battery powered, it needed to cut back on the output to save battery life.There's one problem with this thing though, something that I feel is big enough to warrant taking off one star. The thing is that this doesn't have any buttons on it. No play, pause, fast forward, rewind, or anything like that. Understandable since it's so small and sleek that there wouldn't be any space on it for that. That's fine. They would have had to make it bigger to fit buttons on it, so I think that was a good call to not include buttons. BUT... one thing that would have made living without buttons so much easier is if it had auto play. It would have allowed me to hop in my car, the adapter would power on with my stereo that's powered on with the engine, the adapter would automatically connect, and the music would play on it's own without any user input. I wouldn't even have to think about it, it would just work.It does have auto-connect which is great, but no auto-play. Meaning I have to pull my phone out of my pocket, open the Spotify app, and hit play. Not a huge deal, but it's the one thing that stops this from being a truly hassle free experience where I don't have to fiddle around with anything to get music from my phone to my car stereo. If they changed that, this would easily be a five star product for me!

This works perfect and exactly what I needed. My Bose speaker is not Bluetooth capable but has an auxiliary port I plugged this in and connected to my phone seamlessly and from opening the package to listening to music was less then a minute.

I changed to purchase this brand my previous purchase from a different company emitted a high pitched ringing. This product was set up amazingly quickly and is crystal clear no ringing tones like other brands I've tried very happy with this purchase

This is literally the easiest adapter to use. The price is crazy cheap for how good this thing is. Works right out of the box and is much more stable than competing products. Bought this cuz a different out was wack. So much happier with it.
