#371268 - 28/09/2018 12:12 Bluetooth heaphone adapter
jmwking old hand Registered: 27/02/2003 Posts: 777 Loc: Washington, DC metro	It seems smart phones are losing regular headphone jacks, and my ancient car doesn't have bluetooth support. With any luck, I'll be replacing my phone before my car, so I'm looking for an adapter that will let me plug a bluetooth receiver in to patch my phone into my car stereo. I've seen them from $20 to well over $100 (with DAC and amp built in). Anyone have any experience with them? thanks, -jk

The car one I have has pause/back/forward buttons for a start. Not really the same type of device. _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

I have one of these (BTC450 I think). Works fairly well. No BT problems and clear sound, no alternator whine etc. 1) USB power cable is fixed to main unit and a bit light duty for my liking. 2) Volume is a bit on the low side even with it at full on the phone. _________________________ Christian #40104192 120Gb (no longer in my E36 M3, won't fit the E46 M3)

Volume on mine (also a BTC450) is pretty loud. It's a lot louder than the volume of the radio when I switch over, and it's not even on maximum BT volume on my phone (because my phone warns against that, but that's probably mainly a warning for use with headphones). Strange. _________________________ Riocar 80gig S/N : 010101580 red Riocar 80gig (010102106) - backup
