Review: Even works great at home! - I bought this to use in my 2006 Prius, with my Galaxy Note 3 phone (Android). I have 64 gig of mp3's that I stream directly from my phone. It works beautifully, set-up was a snap. I climb into my car and the connection happens automatically, and it starts playing right from where it left off when I got out of the car. Incoming calls pause the music, one touch of the button and I'm on speaker phone, which is very clear from both ends. Touch the button to hang up and the music fades back in, flawless. The only drawback is that (like all the others) there is no way to extend the length of the button cord. The assumption (apparently from every manufacturer) is that the button goes on you dash, the power plug is somewhere below your car stereo, and the stereo has an auxiliary input on it's face. However, in the Prius the power jack and aux input are hidden away in the center arm rest (which is nice), so the button can't be easily placed on the dash as the cord gets in the way. I'll either have to find a place on the arm rest, or try to run the button wire under the carpet. No points off, because it seems all the other manufacturers make the same assumption. By the way, there is a slight hum from ground loops in the Prius, but a cheap isolator fixed that. AND NOW FOR THE FUN PART. I have a workshop at home. I have an old stereo tuner/amp wired to ceiling speakers in my shop. But I have several problems. 1) Reception is terrible even with an external antenna. 2) When my phone rings I seldom hear it over the machines and stereo. 3) I don't want the phone in my pocket, if I run into the corner of a workbench it might shatter the display. 4) If I do hear the phone ring, I have to turn off the stereo, the tool, then wipe the oil off my hands before trying to answer it. So here is the solution: Even though the power adapter is designed to plug into a 12 volt outlet, it can also be run by plugging a USB cord into it, then into a USB wall-wart (transformer) adapter. So I found an extra USB wall-wart, plugged it into the switched outlet on the back of the stereo (or you could just plug it into the wall outlet), and connected it to the car kit USB port. I plugged the audio jack into a stereo mini headphone to RCA adapter cable, and plugged that into the RCA jacks on the back of the stereo. To keep the exposed prongs on the 12 volt adapter from shorting out, I just plugged it into a 1/2" pvc (slip on) end cap. It fits snugly and is dirt cheap. So now when I walk into my shop I just turn on my stereo, and lay my phone on top of it (with the cover closed). It connects automatically and starts playing. I can skip forward or back using the car-kit buttons. If the phone rings, the music fades out, I hear the phone ringing, I push the car-kit button with my oily finger and I have an instant speaker phone, without ever touching my cell phone. And for my s@#$y FM reception, I subscribed to the Sirius internet radio, and now I can also stream hundreds of ad-free radio stations through my phone into my stereo using my free wifi. Heaven!
Review: Inexpensive, direct wire-in bluetooth receiver - This device is marketed for hands-free calling and audio, which seems to fulfill both roles pretty well. Been using it for a few weeks now and have a few thoughts. The button/unit itself has a short length of single cord coming from it, about two feet long. It then splits into two separate cords, one for audio and one for the automobile plugin, each one about a foot long. Total is approximately 3 feet for overall cord length, which may be a /little/ bit short for some users. I found it fit the best near the middle of the center stack of my car (Mazda 6 sedan), driver side, close to the audio controls. It left just enough wire to run down along the center console, past the shifter, and to the center-box to keep the 3.5mm audio jack and power plug to hide away. Would be nice if it came with an additional foot of cord for easier placement. Pairing with a phone is extremely simple. When you turn your car on/turn the key to the first position, it automatically starts the unit. Just make sure the bluetooth is enabled for your phone and accept it as a device, paired no problems, no password or special tricks required. Nice to use this unit and not have to fuss with settings. Works reliably, turn car on, pairs with phone, good to go. Audio quality is pretty good, not %100 as good as directly plugged in with an audio cord, but close enough that the difference doesn't bother me. The benefit of this unit is largely convenience, don't need to plug/unplug the audio cable every time you enter/leave your vehicle. Besides that, it has a microphone built into the unit, so you /can/ use it as a hands-free type of unit. The microphone (as reported by my friends and family) is of acceptable quality, the only minor problem being slightly reduced volume. So I tend to need to turn my volume up and speak clearly and a bit more loudly when using this. Not a big deal and not a deal breaker. Might be nice in a revision/different version if they had an AUX input port on the unit, so you could run your own microphone closer to the steering wheel. Doubtful that every user would want to utilize that, but I'd be willing to pay a few bucks more to get an AUX jack for a slightly better microphone option. Not a complain though, /for the money/ this unit does a perfectly acceptable job of playing audio, microphone, and phone calls. 5 out of 5 considering the minor flaws.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you launch Google Now via the button and give voice commands through the microphone? It's ok if this requires some apps/settings on the phone.**
A: As per prior answers, you can set this up.  I did this on a GS4 running lollipop.  In Google Now settings, under Voice, enable Bluetooth headset to record audio.  I use Google Play music, and didn't change anything there.  With music playing, press the button once, this pauses the music.  Then hold the button down until it beeps, you have to turn the phone back on to enable the bluetooth device to activate Google Now (from notifications).  Repeat the process, now you can activate Google Now voice input with the screen off with the long-press (remembering to pause music with the initial press).  I did have a project to enable my BMW BT, but I don't see the point now.  The combo of the BTC450, Google Play Music and Google Now beats what my car would be able to do.

**Q: How long is the wire from the BT button end to the power unit/aux ends?**
A: Dear John,Thank you for your question regarding our Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit. The aux cable and power cable lengths are 11.5 inches and the overall length is 48.5 inches.Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.

**Q: If I'm listening to the radio (not through the phone) and I get an incoming call will my phone still make a ringing sound?**
A: Dear Jeff,
Thank you for your question regarding the BTC450 Car Kit.  Whenever you are listening to your car radio (AM/FM), the ringing will not be heard. The car music system has to be set to "AUX" for the ringing to be heard through the car.

Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.

**Q: If  I have the device connected to power via the cigarette lighter, does it automatically turn on and off when the car turns on and off?**
A: Dear Customer, Thank you for your question in regards to our BTC450 Car Kit. As other users have mentioned, most cars will power off their cigarette lighter port when the car is shut off. This will power off BTC450 as well.We hope this answers your questions. Thank you,Kinivo Product SupportEmail : support@kinivo.comLive chat : http://support.kinivo.com | Mon-Fri: 9AM - 5PM PST

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Music output quality
*by D***N on December 20, 2024*

Everything about it is great with how it hooks up, it has a loop insulator to cut out all the humming, it turned my radio into Bluetooth so I can now play my music on my phone, easy to use, easy to install, functions great, great cord length was good for what I need it for! The only thing I noticed was it compromises my sound quality tremendously on my two 10 inch subs and amp. The subs still hit good but not as good as when I’m listening to the radio. However, my music is being played via Bluetooth on auxiliary. The radios output is being played through RCA cables directly connected to my subs. This could very well be the reason for my subs underperforming compared to when I have the radio on, which is why I gave it 4 stars. Overall, I definitely recommend this product! At the end of the day, it did what I wanted which is making my radio Bluetooth capable and that’s why I bought it!
