Tired of cables and a stereo with no Bluetooth? Plug this receiver into a USB port or AUX jack and stream your music from your phone.
A metal plug and one blue light you can trust
- A metal plug that stays put
The USB-A plug is silver metal, set into a matte black plastic body. It feels solid in a port instead of wobbling like a thin plastic dongle, so you stop reaching back to nudge it on the way to work.
- Two ways to connect
Audio leaves the receiver through the USB port or a 3.5mm AUX jack on the black model. A car whose USB port only charges still gets sound through AUX, and a speaker with an AUX input turns wireless without a new unit.
- One light that tells you it is working
A small blue LED sits on the body and lights when the receiver has power. Glance at it after you plug in and you know the link is live before you touch your phone.
Plug into USB or AUX, whichever your car supports
- 1Check what your USB port does
Plug the receiver into the car USB port first. If the port carries audio, you are set. If it only charges, move to the AUX route.
- 2Pick the right connection
Use the USB-A plug when the port carries audio. For AUX, connect the 3.5mm output on the black model to the car AUX input with a standard cable. Browse aux bluetooth connector options if you need a cable.
- 3Pair your phone and press play
Turn on Bluetooth on your phone and select the receiver. Pair once, then the blue LED confirms the link. Music and navigation audio play through the car speakers.

Questions and answers
Some car USB ports power a device without carrying audio. If yours only charges, the receiver gets power but no sound comes through. Switch to the 3.5mm AUX output on the black model and the stereo plays it. Looking at other options? Compare bluetooth for car audio choices.
Yes. That is the backup route built into this receiver. Connect the 3.5mm output to the car's AUX input with a standard cable, then pair your phone as usual.
Yes, as long as the speaker has an AUX input. The receiver feeds the speaker through its 3.5mm jack, so a wired desk speaker or bedside speaker gets Bluetooth without buying a new one.
The packaging describes a newer wireless version with steadier sound quality than older budget dongles. Keep the phone in the cabin or close by, and pair it before you start driving. Yanking the receiver mid-playback is the fastest way to a dropout.
A head unit replacement runs several hundred dollars and needs professional installation. This receiver plugs into a port you already have, needs no tools and takes about a minute to set up. You keep the stereo you know and add the wireless part for a small fraction of the cost.
An FM transmitter broadcasts on a radio frequency, which picks up static and interference from nearby stations. This receiver connects to your phone over Bluetooth and sends audio through the port or jack, so there is no radio signal to fight with.
