It is unacceptable that the description says "Bluetooth adapter connects to any radio with RCA or AUX input" when the adapter does not actually have an AUX output. I need to buy a separate adapter, not expensive but annoying.

Connects quickly and reliably to iphone. Sound quality is excellent. Plenty awesome for a car stereo lol. I am using this with a sony amplifier. Box is small and has all the hookups you need. Some thing that are weird... Even with the volume all the way down, the sound still plays at a low volume. It may be too high if you are sitting with motor off. Once the car motor is on the lowest level is pretty much inaudible. The box plays a beep when bt connects. I kinda like it. I used the "aftermarket power connector" under the dash to install this box and the new amplifier, instead of running wires through the firewall to the battery like crutchfield recommend. This switch power is hot in acc and run but NOT in start... Some times if BT is already connected (it connect VERY fast!) it won't reconnect after starting the motor and I have to do it manually from phone menu (I understand this is probably a phone thing, I have an old iphone mini, something to be aware of)

Pros: sound great, easy to use, connect fast

Cons: volume doesn't turn all the way down

I have an old school McIntosh cd head unit that has RCA AUX inputs, this module worked perfectly. Installing was a breeze! I couldn't believe how easy it was and sounds great.

Pros: Ease of installation Quick pairing and playback

Cons: None

Replaced a NVX "equivalent" w/this in hopes of escaping noise problems associated w/their cheap auxiliary connect and am so far convinced it's worth the premium.

This product hooked up very easily to my phone Bluetooth but I could not get it to produce audio through my radio. I contacted tech support and Gage was very responsive and helpful but we couldn't figure out the issue so he quickly sent me a RA.

!!BEEP!!

Eric from Cedar Park on 4/5/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I called and talked to the Crutchfield expert and asked him if this made a audible beep sound every time it connects to my phone. He told me he was sure it did not. This is important because this is paired to a 400 watt amplifier and everytime it would connect, it would make a shockingly loud beep come out of my speakers. I used a JL audio version of this that did the same. I wanted to get something that would not beep. After his assurance, I bought and installed it. When I paired it I was greeted with a shocking loud BEEP! I can't tell you how disappointed I am with the expert guidance I received. He didn't even care to check on the correct answer, just told me what I wanted to hear. I now have to uninstall and send back.

Pros: Adds bluetooth

Cons: Price to high, loud beep every time it auto connects. Loud pop when it turns on and off

Sounds great!!

Crutchfield customer from Battle Ground, WA on 2/27/2021

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Works good, sounds great! The only issue I can think of is that there is a small amount of turn off pop if your listening to music and turn off the key.

Pros: Small , has remote out, Sounds good.

Cons: Turn off pop when you turn off the key

Great product l, high quality connection. Turn on lead comes in handy for standalone systems. Wish they made a 110v version as I have a couple of amps at home in storage that's would make great wireless receivers.
