Marine Bluetooth Audio Receiver Convert, Amplifier

Product: Audio Pipe AP-BTM-1200 Unboxing: The package contained the bluetooth unit, wiring harness with fuse, some mounting hardware, and an instructions sheet. Installation: This device was super easy to install. Color coded wires are easily identifiable. Mounted using hardware. RCA’s plug right in. Dislikes: Bluetooth always on? Likes: Amazing connectivity. Superb sound quality. Opinion: I should have done this sooner. I decided to add this unit to my stereo to try to eliminate some negative feedback issues that I have been having with my factory radio in my vehicle. Rather than having to purchase a brand new headunit and install it, I was able to bypass the issue all together with this small device. I would highly recommend reading the instructions first, I thought I was smarter than that, but I wasn’t. I assumed that the blue wire was a remote in, but it is actually a remote out. I actually hooked it up to the out of my DSP as seen in one of the photos, and fortunately I did read the instructions before I powered it on, CRISIS averted. It does appear that the bluetooth is always on, which I doubt would ever be an issue since I drive my car daily so the battery is always charging. As shown in the video, the unit connects to my phone in seconds, and activate by play, as seen with the red LED lighting up. I am shocked at the level of improvement in sound quality and overall loudness from simply adding this bluetooth RCA device over the quality of my factory radio. I am optimistic about the longevity of this device. Compared to the costs associated with a brand new headunit, buying this device was an absolute steal. The device works great and is an amazing value. I use it everyday and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a way to easily add bluetooth capability to their stereos.

me gustó lo sencillo de instalar , y me encantó q solo cuando reproduzco música enciende los amplificadores, nunca lo imagine,ademas muy fácil de vincular, recomendado!

Wired this into my harley for stereo connection via amplifier works great bluetooth seems to be good at around 8 meters away

Bought this for my boat, I only run and amp to my speakers, no head unit, and use my phone as the audio source. I was afraid the Bluetooth would send a deminished signal making the audio not as loud as having my phone directly connected but thanks not the case - it’s louder, so much so I had to turn the gain down on the amp. So far I love it and it works great.

Complete fail. Was a great, affordable option for my restoration project to stealthily add BT capabilities and modern tech to my old Mustang. Worked great first 3 times we tested, put the car all together feeling confident … Very short lived as it worked another few times after dash setup was completed and then died about 2 days after. Checked and replaced the supplied inline fuse that came with the unit and troubleshot all connections, fuses, and amps on an old head unit I had in the shop and all failures lead back to this BT unit. It failed to turn on amps or play ball with the rest of the system- now I’ve got a few hours tacked to my restoration of un-installing the dash to replace this POS unit. I’ve been installing stereo setups for a very long time with decades of experience in multiple cars with different configurations and this was a huge disappointment…Not happy.
