Does this work better than a dongle? Need to connect IPhone XR to 2009 Toyota Corolla

Yes, it works.

[ JOSUE Jul 28, 2020 ]

We don't have apple products but any bluetooth device should connect to it. I have been very pleased with the sound quality of the product and it connects to my phone flawlessly.

As you can see from the picture, you would need to plug this in to an aux input, this WILL NOT work with your car,you need to get the bluetooth adaptor that connects to the antenna input on you car radio, you tune to a certain station on fm,the bluetooth, signal connects to the box on the antenna input, presto!you get your music!

[ Tim Mar 18, 2019 ]

You will definitely need an aux in jack, same type of plug as a headphone. That's how this bluetooth adapter gets the signal to your stereo.

[ JAMES Mar 17, 2019 ]

in my 2011 Honda, it required the AUX. I would not purchase without an aux! Try one of the FM converters

How do i fix the wires?

[ Abigail Feb 19, 2019 ]

My audio hookup is In the glove box. Does the product need to be uncovered for it to hear my voice for the phone to work?

Hi! The only "wire" you need is the charging cable. Make sure that the unit is powered up ( there should be red and blue lights) and turn your stereo to 'aux'. Set your Bluetooth to match the unit ( can't recall exactly which it is) but you should find the first one on the list, then wait for it to connect and you are ready to go!

[ Timothy A. Feb 20, 2019 ]

Simple little zip ties will work

[ HAROLD A Feb 20, 2019 ]

[ Chris Jan 31, 2019 ]

Can I use this while it's charging?

Yes

[ Richard Feb 01, 2019 ]

Yes it does the microphone is on top. You could use a cable to bring it outside the glovebox.

[ Timothy Feb 01, 2019 ]

[ Brent Dec 31, 2018 ]

I have a Samsung 7s .. Will this device work?

Yes, it has to be plugged into the 12v power to operate. You can also charge your USB device while it operates.

[ Richard Jan 01, 2019 ]

Yes

[ KEVIN G Jan 01, 2019 ]

Yes. I have mine charging at all times. Great little gadget,

[ TODD Dec 31, 2018 ]

Yes you can.

[ Richard Dec 31, 2018 ]

[ Carol Jun 23, 2018 ]

Can you tell it to make calls for you?

Don't know ..

[ Timothy Jul 02, 2018 ]

Yes

[ WILMER Jun 30, 2018 ]

As long as it's has Bluetooth. Sure it should I have my connected to my iPhone works great.

[ Richard Jun 29, 2018 ]

I'm a iPhone lover but if you have Bluetooth it should work

I have only used it for Bluetooth music from my iPhone , I wishcould help more

[ Jeff Jan 06, 2017 ]

You would use SIRI or another voice command program within your cellphone for outgoing calls . It has really good sound and works very well in my 2014 F150. The Bluetooth also lets me listen to the music that is accessible from my phone.

[ just ordered it Jan 02, 2017 ]

Yes once you sync with radio. But to be honest, I end up buying a din 2 radio that does everything.

[ frank Jan 02, 2017 ]

You can tell it to make calls by speaking the telephone number but you cannot direct it to call by contact name.

[ Johnny Jan 02, 2017 ]

Yes. A single push of the bottom will link to voice activation on your cell phone. Just a slight pause before you speak.

[ William Jan 02, 2017 ]

Can you use the MotorMouth WHILE it's charging?

[ Tim Dec 06, 2016 ]

My vehicle already has bluetooth for phone calls. Can this device be used to stream only while keeping the OEM bluetooth for handsfree calls?

Yes

[ Nikola Dec 07, 2016 ]

Yes it works fine when its charging, in fact I finally just kept mine plugged in all the time.

[ Phil Dec 06, 2016 ]

Yes, I leave it plugged in all the time

[ ENRIQUE Dec 06, 2016 ]

Yes, it can be used while it's being charged.

How do you re-pair Bluetooth to a new phone?

Most phones can only be synced with one Bluetooth device at a time, so, if your phone is paired with the Scosche BTAXS2R, you will not be able to use the factory Bluetooth for hands-free calling at the same time. The Scosche supports both hands-free calling and stereo audio streaming so, you can use it for both features. I hope that helps. My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=5

[ Coniesha Sep 23, 2016 ]

can you make and receive calls? We tried one, but was told you have to turn on speaker phone when receiving a call. The outgoing calls worked great.

If you go to settings then to Bluetooth turn it off, then activate your Scosche device, turn your phone's Bluetooth on and you will see the BATAXS2R it will connect automatically. One of the great features of this devis is that it talked to you and tells you when it's powered up and connected.

[ Phil Sep 24, 2016 ]

go to Bluetooth on your phone. Plug the Motormouth 3 into the Aux jack and the power end inserted into the cigarette lighter receptacle. Under Bluetooth on your phone, click on search device, or search for device. The screen on your phone will indicate that the phone's Bluetooth is searching for your device. When it is paired, the name BTAXS2R should appear on the phone's screen. It might ask you to pair. If it does, click on OK and wait for the word " Paired" to appear on your phone's screen . You are then paired. Close the phone and make a call. Clint Rogers

[ Ruth Aug 10, 2016 ]

can the battery be charged any other way than the 12 volt?

Yes you can receive calls when a call Rings just push the red button and talk

[ ENRIQUE Aug 10, 2016 ]

In my I phone 6S I had to set in the Bluetooth settings go my phone to answer in the motor mouth by setting it to the device then it worked. My only complaint is you have go turn up the volume to here it, could be that I drive a convertible?

[ Phil Aug 10, 2016 ]

Hi Ruth, I love the hands free. To receive a call, you have to press the button once and be on auxillary. Nothing has to be done to complete a call.

[ GENE Aug 10, 2016 ]

Yes, you can.

Yes,with a usb charger also

[ Raymond Jun 19, 2016 ]

I believe that's the only way.

[ Nikola Jun 19, 2016 ]

The device only comes with a 12v adaptor, I use my inverter plugged into a 110 outlet when I'm using it I the house.

[ Phil Jun 19, 2016 ]

Do you need to speak extra loud for the other party to hear you well? Is the sound quality generally pretty good?

[ Tara Jun 05, 2016 ]

5 answers

No. Normal speaking is generally adequate for the other party to hear you well. Overall fairly good device. Have not experienced any issues or problems. Music streaming is also very clear and crisp with excellent stereo separation.

[ Andy Jun 09, 2016 ]

With the sunroof and windows open its a challenge but without that I talk in a normal voice with no complaints!

[ JOHN Jun 08, 2016 ]

I just talk normal like I was standing next to the person talking. I am very happy with this device

[ Brad Jun 06, 2016 ]

My experience has been that I don't need to talk especially loud (but I'm used to public speaking, so my idea of not "especially loud" may not match yours). Sound quality is fine (and I spend a lot of time saying "excuse me?" in normal conversation, but things like the Google Maps voice come through loud and clear for me).

[ Joseph Jun 06, 2016 ]

Not at all. I actually use it with my convertible top down without yelling.

[ GENE Jun 06, 2016 ]

My Silverado radio does not have an AUX setting. Will this work anyway?

[ Bruce May 07, 2016 ]

what extension cord will work for the blue tooth? My aux is in the center console of the car, and I want the mic to be closer to me.

The device plugs in to a 3.5 mm jack, which looks like a headphone jack. If you don't have that, there's no way the device will interact with the radio.

[ Nikola May 08, 2016 ]

[ STEVEN F May 07, 2016 ]

No, it transmits to your car system through the Aux input.

[ JORGE May 07, 2016 ]

Will not work. Need an aux input.

Any 3.5mm ext should work but mine is located in the center as well and it works great. I've had no issues of people hearing me at all yet and I use mine often. Hope this helps

[ Brad Apr 15, 2016 ]

I'd expect a standard 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo extension cable to work. Crutchfield sells one that looks likely under the name "Hosa Mini Headphone Extension Cable"

[ Joseph Apr 15, 2016 ]

I have it installed in a Mini Cooper where it cannot plug directly into the jack due to space issues so I used a male to female 4" mini headphone jack extension cable. Works like a charm.

[ JOHN Apr 15, 2016 ]

what is the battery life on the unit when it is not charging?

[ Andre Apr 05, 2016 ]

Does a wire have ro be plugged to the phone?

Per Scosche's website, the BTAXS2R motorMOUTH III has a built-in battery that offers up to 6 hours of phone calls/music listening or up to 84 hours in standby (off). The built-in battery also takes 1.5 hours to fully charge. I hope that helps. My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=159
