Car StereoClip CAR A100/Bluetooth Audio Streamer (Aux)

• Bluetooth

I bought this device to take advantage of the higher sound quality offered by the apt-x codec, which the StereoClip and my Galaxy S III each possess. I hook it up to the car stereo through the car's aux input and a good 3.5mm-3.5mm cable. I wanted a dedicated "media audio" device as I also connect my phone to my car's older "phone only" Bluetooth simultaneously. This has worked with prior devices and worked with the StereoClip without any problem. It paired quickly and did not interfere with the additional connection to the car's phone Bluetooth, which only turns on when I start the car.

Unfortunately, the device will not auto-connect to my phone unless the StereoClip has been turned completely off and then back on. Instead, I leave it in the car in standby mode so that when I get to the car, I can connect quickly and be ready to play music. While it is listed as showing that it will auto-connect, it apparently only does that with HTC phones that have the HTC Car app installed and running. This should be made clear in the feature listing.

While that deceptive marketing is annoying, the StereoClip connects lightning fast when I launch Bluetooth settings and tap the device name to connect. The connection stay s rock solid, never dropping, unlike other devices i tried. The quickness and stability of the connection together make up for the lack of auto-connect.

The sound is exactly what I was hoping for: CD quality from a Bluetooth connection. I have a 2008 Lexus LS with the Mark Levinson system and the StereoClip allows the music on my phone, or from Spotify or Pandora to shine, especially on higher bitrate tracks and streams.

The battery life seems pretty good so far.

Overall, I found the StereoClip to be well worth the money for any audiophile trying to ratchet up the quality of their phone-based music.

I had almost given up on Bluetooth streaming since I couldn't find a small device that had an internal battery or no buzzing when it's plugged in. This device is great and if I ever leave it in the car the battery is good for standby, I've been able to get about a week. As for actual use for playing music, it pairs pretty quickly and the audio sounds just as good as if it were plugged in with an aux cable. The battery charges pretty fast and can last a while, but lately I just leave it always plugged in so I don't have to worry about running low on battery if I don't use my car for a while.

I own a Galaxy S III, and pairing has no problems. i expected it to be of better audio quality, and I wasn't disappointed. Definitely better than my Miccus blue bridge. Problem is i also use a Jaybird isport and i cannot pair it. i have tried several times and still with no success. I have used several bluetooth enabled devices, and am knowledgeable with these devices.

A handy piece of gear. Not only for use with a car stereo can use adapters to send audio to any audio system! Quick charging, easy connect via bluetooth. Will auto connect with my HTC ONE S but prefer to do it manually. It can remember up to 8 devices for pairing so I can also easily connect with my laptop bluetooth adapter or my tablet. Great sound via apt-x codec.

I was looking for a bluetooth device that I could pair with my phone and stream music (whether it be spotify, pandora, my own library, etc) through my aux port. I admit, I'm lazy and got annoyed using an auxiliary cable and definitely didn't want to use a FM transmitter (found the cable could create some minor tangle hazards) or go buy and install a parrot device i just wanted to stream music. For some reason it took me a long time to find this "wouldn't it be nice" device, but glad I did as it fits the bill and works as advertised. I currently am using it paired with a nokia 920 and also tested with an iphone 4s. I get about 7 days of standby time, drive 50 minutes/4 days a week and have had no issues transitioning from incoming calls (speakerphone) back to streaming music or using voice recognition on the device. I just make sure to launch bluetooth and pair before driving off. Pretty convenient and simple in my opinion and no loss in sound quality.
