Description

Your car already has the AUX jack. With this adapter it also gets Bluetooth 5.0, so music, calls and navigation come through the speakers with no cable across the cabin. Pair your phone once and the drive starts with sound already playing.

Turn any car's AUX port into Bluetooth 5.0 music, calls and navigation audio

Solves
  • No built-in Bluetooth in older car stereos
  • Echo and poor sound quality on calls
  • Audio dropouts and stuttering while listening
  • Tangled or messy cables in the cabin

Bluetooth music and calls, through the port you already have

Your stereo has an AUX jack but no Bluetooth, so every drive means cables or a phone in your hand. This adapter plugs in and streams music, calls and navigation audio wirelessly.

Brushed metal, built to live in your dash

Brushed metal that looks factory

The housing is brushed silver metal, and the 3.5mm plug has a metal sleeve with gold-tone contacts. It sits neatly in a dash and reads as part of the stereo rather than a gadget bolted on.

Calls that stay clear

Qualcomm cVc echo cancellation and noise reduction handle your voice on the road, so the caller hears you instead of the cabin. Press the metal call button to answer or end a call without reaching for your phone.

One cable less in the cabin

The dongle stays in a USB port and the coiled cable stretches to reach the stereo, so nothing hangs loose across the seats. The status LED shows when the adapter is on.

Pair once, then it just connects

  1. 1
    Plug the dongle into a USB port

    Push the USB-A dongle into a free USB port in the car. The status LED lights up when it has power.

  2. 2
    Connect the AUX plug to the stereo

    Slide the metal 3.5mm plug into the stereo's AUX input. Use the dedicated AUX jack, not a shared headphone jack.

  3. 3
    Set the stereo source to AUX

    Switch the head unit to AUX before you start playing anything.

  4. 4
    Pair your phone

    Open Bluetooth settings on your phone and select the adapter. If an old pairing exists, forget it first, then pair again with the car running.

  5. 5
    Test music and navigation

    Play a track and check the speakers. After that, the adapter reconnects on its own when you start the car.

Everything you need in the box

  • Brushed metal USB dongle×1

    Holds the Bluetooth 5.0 receiver, the metal call button and the status LED.

  • Metal-sleeved 3.5mm AUX plug×1

    Gold-tone contacts that slide into the stereo's AUX jack with a firm fit.

  • Coiled black cable×1

    Stretches to reach the stereo and springs back without tangling.

Your stereo still has a job

The cable that never stays put

Most older stereos still have an AUX jack, and most drivers still run a cord from the phone to it. The cord slides off the seat, catches on the gear shift and comes loose on every bump in the road. By the time you reach the office, the cable has done its damage and the phone is back in your hand.

Calls you can actually hear

Echo on calls and stutter in the music are the costs most drivers quietly accept. You turn the volume up, lean toward the phone and repeat yourself at red lights. The adapter removes that routine by carrying clear voice audio through the cabin speakers, with echo cancellation built into the dongle.

Adapter connected to car audio system with devices around it

Your old stereo, upgraded

The plug goes into the AUX input and the dongle into a USB port, with nothing to install and nothing to remove from the dash. Pair your phone once, and the stereo becomes a Bluetooth 5.0 receiver for music, calls and navigation. You keep the car you have, and the drive starts to feel current again.

Questions and answers

Will it work with my car's older stereo if it has only an AUX input?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, as long as the stereo has a line-in AUX jack and a source setting that can switch to AUX. The adapter turns that input into a Bluetooth 5.0 receiver, so the head unit does not need Bluetooth of its own.

Does it need a USB power source, and what if my car has no USB port?
w
Wanelo · seller

The dongle is USB-A, so it plugs into a USB port in the car. If the car only has a 12V socket, a USB-A car charger in that socket supplies the port. Browse if you need one.

Will callers hear echo, and does the mic work well at highway speed?
w
Wanelo · seller

The adapter uses Qualcomm cVc echo cancellation and noise reduction, which are built for voice calls in a moving car. Speak at a normal volume toward the cabin, and the caller hears you rather than the road.

Is it better than an FM transmitter for sound quality?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. An FM transmitter broadcasts over radio, so it picks up static and hiss and needs a clear station. This adapter sends a Bluetooth signal into the AUX input, so there is no station to hunt for and no radio noise to fight.

Do I need to install anything or remove my stereo?
w
Wanelo · seller

No. The plug goes into the AUX jack and the dongle into a USB port, so the dash stays as it is. A stereo replacement usually runs into the hundreds and needs installation. This adapter is a small purchase that keeps the car you already have.
