And with AUX you can also finally get bluetooth, which is totally worth it.

u/kestrel808 · 17 pointsr/nottheonion

I drive a early 90's toyota and picked up this bluetooth receiver for my car. Your stereo has to have 1/8in audio input(or an adapter), but it works super great and it's only like $23.

u/burritosandpuppies · 10 pointsr/iphone

I did this at first as well, but it bothered me not being able to charge while in the car. So I bought this. Only downside is that it can't invoke Siri, but I don't use Siri much anyway.

I've been using [this one](AUKEY Bluetooth Receiver with 3-Port USB Car Charger and Magnetic Base, Bluetooth 4.1 Hands-free Car Kit for iPhone, Samsung, Android Phones and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0168GBMCY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OgwTAbRJEDBP3) since last August. Doesn't have the cigarette charger integrated so I can connect it to the low power USB port that's built in to my car which frees up my cigarette outlet for my higher output dual port charger. Powers on and off automatically which makes using Bluetooth in my car pretty seamless.

I've been using this one for a while now and have been pretty satisfied.

u/stretch_muffler · 5 pointsr/cars

Does her car have a headphone jack, often called an AUX? If so you can buy one of these thingys and stick it on the dash. Unlike your #2 solution, it's always charged. Downside is she has to flip the radio to aux to hear.

u/iamnotcreativeDET · 4 pointsr/cars

Your Sentra lacks support for something called A2DP.

Fun fact, bluetooth back in the day, was really only designed for very VERY low bandwidth, I'm talking like 768Kbits/sec, as a result it wasn't very good for streaming music through it, it also never was designed for stereo audio support, this was like early 2000/late 90s.

There never was a demand for it other than low bandwidth. Fast forward to smart phones and it was seen as a very useful technology for single channel audio (bluetooth headsets and such).

When it was implemented in cars back in the 2007+ model years, even smart phones really didn't use it for Stereo bluetooth yet, but the hardware was there for it to be supposed, and car manufacturers are usually about 3 years into development of a new model, so they can't simply stop the production line to put 1 new feature into the car, it would be a giant mess.

TL;DR, your car doesn't support stereo bluetooth. But you can buy an aftermarket radio that will replace the factory system if you want. probably will cost about $100+ or you can continue to just use an AUX cable. OR you can do this which will plug into the factory AUX jack and convert it to a bluetooth connection.

First thing you need is an OEM aux input

Then I picked up a Bluetooth module off Amazon and I have been enjoying Bluetooth audio in my '06

I like this Bluetooth device because it turns off and on with the car and automatically connects to the phone. Plus it came with a 3port USB charger (one port is quick charge)

u/Albort · 3 pointsr/iphone

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Bluetooth-Receiver-Magnetic-Handsfree/dp/B0168GBMCY

i have one of these. they will route your phone calls to the speakers and the receiver is a mic. If u dont like the brand, there are a ton out there.

u/BigBuffalo757 · 2 pointsr/Moto_Z

This is what I have in my car. Have had it for 6 months and I've had 0 issues. 4.3 stars on Amazon. Pretty straight forward.

Plug in the power source into the USB adapter and then plug the 3.5mm jack into your AUX port. Whenever the car will power on it will turn on this receiver and search to pair with your phone. As long as your phone's bluetooth is on it will pair in the amount of time it takes for you to put on your seatbelt and get settled.

u/HarryMonster · 2 pointsr/apple

I use this at the moment. Works great!

u/Teknofiliak · 2 pointsr/CarAV

If you have a 3.5mm jack, I bought this for my wife and it works very well.

u/tvtoo · 2 pointsr/tmobile

Have you considered Bluetooth? If your car has an AUX (3.5mm, headphone) input but no built-in Bluetooth....

Here's a well-rated very small $22 Aukey Bluetooth-to-3.5mm device that would let you control Siri and music (skip song, repeat song) from a small paddle:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0168GBMCY

If you don't care about the Siri button or repeat/skip song, here are some cheap Bluetooth-to-3.5mm that work fine for streaming music for $2-$5, from US sellers on ebay.

And here's a fantastic Bose $70 one:

u/SodlidDesu · 2 pointsr/CarAV

I have one of these and have had it for about a year now. It works pretty damn well if I do say. It only really controls forward, backward and hang up on calls and I would recommend a ground loop isolator as well.

No, you won't get audiophile sound or full steering wheel controls but it's a damn nice upgrade for $20-30.

u/solbrothers · 2 pointsr/Cartalk

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Bluetooth-Receiver-Magnetic-Handsfree/dp/B0168GBMCY

This is the one I have. It's great and gets great reviews. I got it on sale for $12 a couple months ago but I'd gladly pay the $22 or whatever it costs now.

u/-TheDoctor · 2 pointsr/mazda

I have this one in my 08 Mazda 3 i Sport and it turns on and off with the car. It works great, with good sound as far as bluetooth goes.

u/Auspicion · 2 pointsr/Acura

It plugs into the aux port and runs off a battery. You'll have to manually hold the button for about 2-3 sec to turn it on, but it'll automatically turn off so you won't waste power. I'd recommend it for cars that don't have Bluetooth connectivity. However, I'd stick with the stock Bluetooth that comes with your car, despite the audio lag imo.

If you prefer that it automatically turns on with your car, you can check this model out.

u/oddisy · 1 pointr/MINI

depending on if you have the AUX jack or not, this works really well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0168GBMCY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/ctjameson · 1 pointr/Lexus

Oh I know. I own one of them. I just don't like how it disconnects frequently and takes forever to regain sync to my device. The AUKEY I'm talking about would allow you to have your cake and eat it to.

Device I'm talking about.

Basically you would leave everything in the center console, it would give you the exact same controls as the one you have now, make it to where it's only one bluetooth device connected at once, AND you'd be able to use your hands free phone from it as it has a mic on the control puck. Yeah, it's got one wire going to the puck, but trust me. It's one of the best solutions out there. I've been through a bunch and this one has worked and looked fantastic for over 6 months now.

u/reyztec · 1 pointr/Honda

The dashboard cracking can be prevented by either covering it, or not exposing the car to rapid changes in temperatures constantly. Mine is not cracked, and I don't have it covered either but I may cover it in black alcantera if I swap out my seats for the beige alcantera recaro seats that I have been lusting after for about a year.

The homelink does also cause battery drainage when it malfunctions, thought yes it is easily replaceable, even removable. It's not necessary, and the Bluetooth capabilities are just for calling, no media. I installed this in the car for calling and music playback, it works great. My homelink works fine but I find it useless so I unplugged it.

I find the TL Type S to be one of the most elegant sedans ever made. If this car was made RWD, it would still be giving the E46 M3 a run for its money in all aspects. I feel as if Honda one-upped BMW in that time period with a FWD sedan like they did to Ferrari with the NSX back in the 90's.

u/localhostrulez · 1 pointr/gadgets

They don't make the exact one I have anymore, but this is pretty similar: https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Bluetooth-Receiver-Magnetic-Microphone/dp/B0168GBMCY/ (Note: You might need a ground loop isolator with these. Mostly seems to be an issue when you hacked an aux jack into a really old car though, if your car shipped with aux it's probably fine.)

u/scottiniowa · 1 pointr/mazda3

Try this one - can run it off the constant power in the console, and the aux in Port is there too. Only downside is no steering wheel control, but it does have a puck that you can control it with:

u/nah_you_good · 1 pointr/BmwTech

I don't know anything about any of that, but in mine I just purchased a $15-30 bluetooth receiver that works extremely well. In the e90 in particular it's nice because you can leave it plugged into the arm rest socket.

The unit is really just the controller piece, which you can stick anywhere on your dash (I stuck next to the iDrive wheel).

I'm talking something like this: https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Bluetooth-Receiver-Magnetic-Handsfree/dp/B0168GBMCY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493952251&sr=8-1&keywords=aukey+car+bluetooth

u/Lunchb0x48 · 1 pointr/crankshaft

You can connect to Crankshaft using bluetooth, but only using Android Auto. You might wanna add a bluetooth/ aux thing. I used this in my older car that had an aux input but no bluetooth. https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Bluetooth-Receiver-Magnetic-Microphone/dp/B0168GBMCY/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2F18XGGMBRLB8&keywords=aukey+bluetooth&qid=1569240324&sprefix=aukey+b%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-4

u/deathchimp · 1 pointr/Miata

I did my NA with a Bluetooth dongle plugged into a Pyle amp.

I used one of [these](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0168GBMCY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_bdgFI4fdB9fNN
) Because it has controls I can just push instead of having to manipulate my phone.
