Features

Bluetooth DAC: The Arcam miniBlink Bluetooth DAC enables wireless connection of your Bluetooth-enabled devices (such as your Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Blackberry, or laptop/computer) to your home entertainment system. Now, you will be able to listen to music files and music apps from your Bluetooth-enabled devices on your home stereo system (your home system must have a free analog aux input).

Bluetooth A2DP Technology: The Arcam miniBlink Bluetooth audio converter features Bluetooth A2DP technology, which allows you to wirelessly stream audio from your Bluetooth-enabled Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android tablet/smartphone, Blackberry, Windows PC, Mac computer and more to your home entertainment system. You will continue to control your music and view song/artist information from your Bluetooth-enabled device.

Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Arcam miniBlink. 

Apt-X Compatible: Apt-X audio coding, which is featured on a growing number of Android mobile devices as well as MacBooks and Apple desktop computers, allows audio to be broadcast wirelessly in significantly higher quality than over standard Bluetooth. The apt-X codec achieves a 4:1 compression ratio, allowing for near-CD quality listening  (16-bit/44.1kHz). You'll instantly notice more extensive dynamic range, deeper bass, and crystal-clear top end.

Note: Also compatible with SBC and AAC Bluetooth codecs.

Simple Pairing & Auto Reconnection: The Arcam miniBlink pairs with your Bluetooth-enabled device with a single press of a button. The miniBlink will reconnect automatically to a paired device within range (33') when powered up. If the miniBlink is already powered up, to reconnect a previously paired device either select the miniBlink in the Bluetooth menu of your device or briefly (less than one second) press of the pairing button on the miniBlink and this will initiate a reconnection. This unit can be paired with only one device at a time.

24-Bit DAC: The Arcam miniBlink uses a high-end PCM 5102 DAC to convert music to a line-level output ready for connection to a whole host of audio systems.

Stereo Minijack Output: The Arcam miniBlink is fitted with a stereo minijack (3.5mm) analog output to connect to a variety of home audio systems. A 39" stereo minijack cable and a 39" stereo minijack-to-RCA cable are included.

Power Requirements: The miniBlink Bluetooth DAC operates off of household current using the included 58" microUSB-to-USB cable and AC power adapter. The miniBlink can also be powered from a free USB port (5V/1A) on the back of your home receiver.

Unfortunately, am not sure it can be used in an automotive application, but can confirm it does have a ø3.5mm audio output and also comes with a wall wort psu.

Yes to both and I have used it in the car. Power cord is modular mini / standard USB ends so can plug into any USB that goes into power outlet including extra USB on some cell phone chargers so can power your cell phone or music player source and Arcam miniblink with one charger/outlet.

I am not sure. But as long as it gets an adequate amount of power through its micro-usb input, I don't know why it shouldn't.
