Our take on the Scosche DIYBCKH

The DIYBCKH universal Bluetooth system from Scosche adds wireless capability to any car stereo with an auxiliary input. The system includes a Bluetooth receiver for your car and a transmitter for your music player.

The receiver plugs into your vehicle's power port or cigarette lighter, then connects to your stereo's auxiliary input with an included miniplug. That's all it takes to add Bluetooth reception to your vehicle and receive phone calls hands-free from your Bluetooth enabled cell phone. Calls come over your car's speakers, and an echo-canceling microphone built into the power plug picks up your end of the conversation.

Just plug the DIYBCKH system's transmitter into your portable music player's headphone jack to send music wirelessly from the audio player to your car stereo. Warranty: 1 year.

Features

Overview: The Scosche DIYBCKH Bluetooth Car Kit allows you to answer cell phone calls and play music wirelessly in non-Bluetooth equipped vehicles through your vehicle's audio speakers. The DIYBCKH features a 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter/Bluetooth receiver with integrated microphone and DSP Echo Cancellation for crystal clear cell phone communication and comes supplied with a Bluetooth audio transmitter for listening to your portable MP3 player through your factory audio system. The DIYBCKH's cigarette lighter adapter/Bluetooth receiver plugs into the 12V port or cigarette lighter port of your vehicle and the unit's attached 45" minijack cord plugs into your vehicle's factory or aftermarket headunit that features a 3.5mm audio aux-in jack. These connections allow the input from any Bluetooth enabled device to play through your car speakers. The kit's Bluetooth transmitter features a 3.5mm connector for connecting your portable audio player so it can transmit audio to the cigarette lighter adapter/Bluetooth receiver and be played back through your car's stereo system.

If it works great if not tough luck

Written By HUB, Austin TX on Friday, July 18, 2008
 
I purchase this device for my 2008 honda civic and it works very well howevery it became apparent that after each use I would have to pair it again with my AT&T tilt not very handy. Called Scosche "tech Support" got the answer it works with some units and not others. So I have to pair it each time or I have a very small boat anchor. I knew I should have save the packing everythough it appeared to be working flawlessly.
