When my truck was broken into, and my dash was ruined, it was replaced with, you guessed it, the same darn old tape deck. I can stream my music from my phone via Bluetooth and setup is nothing, all you do is plug it in, sync to it through your device, and adjust the station on it and your radio."
"The calling features are limited, you press the big volume button to dial the last number, but Siri works through the Bluetooth which is huge but you have to use the home button on the phone to activate it. I had music playing and route directions came to me from Apple Maps and the music volume dropped but didn't mute when directions came over. Phone call quality is crisp and loud both for the driver and the person on the other end."
"Regardless of their annoyance, telephone conversations were as clear as putting the phone right up to my ear, maybe even better having access to the in-dash sound system to control the tone."

"We have an older van with no CD player, but we use Spotify on our phones to stream music in our other vehicles. The only negative I have for this device is that it doesn't automatically shut off when the vehicle is turned off."
"I bought this to replace a different blue tooth FM device where the volume setting had to be really high on the radio in the car to hear, and was having difficulty with tuning in the station, even on unused ones."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought this for my wife's Mazda after the factory Bluetooth module went bad for the fourth time since we've owned the car. The first three times it was replaced under warranty but the fourth failure occurred after the warranty elapsed and Mazda wanted to charge me $600 for the module part alone. There was no way I was paying $600 for a part that had already failed us four previous times, so I started searching for alternatives."
"I also wanted to place it on the drivers left hand side by the window because the microphone for phone calls picks up better over there but the cord is too short so I have to add an auxiliary and USB extension."
"Edit: Three months later still as good as Knivio BTC450."
"When IPhone got rid of the headphone jack it meant my wife had to choose between playing music in her van and charging her phone."

"No static and my husband and my phones automatically connect, unlike others I tried."
"Update Jan 19, 2018: After a month, the device overheated and no longer functions. The device beeps when connect, beeps when the volume is maxed, beeps for notifications, and, the worst part, beeps every time a song is skipped."

Find Best Price at Amazon"You can use the charging cable to charge the device with your computer's USB port or any AC USB wall charger that you own. The transmitter comes with a 48 inch long charging cable that you can use to charge it with using your computer's USB port or the USB AC wall charger that comes with the unit. There is also a charging port on the top and when you plug in the charging cable the LED on the unit turns red and indicates that the device is charging. Turn on the Bluetooth receiver unit and then press and hold the transmitter on button for 5 to 6 seconds until the LED begins to flash blue and red. When I turned the unit back on it automatically paired to the last device that it was connected with as long as that smart device has not been paired to any other Bluetooth item. The Bluetooth transmission distance is about 33 feet but when pairing it is best to have the unit within about 3 feet of your receiving device."
"It did take me a few tries to pair it - it ONLY worked once I had the device plugged into the record player's aux output (I tried pairing it without being connected to anything and that's when it wouldn't work)."
"My only recommendation would be to pack in a two-sided sticky pad so a buyer may fasten it to the device of their choice. I personally would stick this device to my iPod so they stay snug together in my pocket, but that does not at all detract from the quality of the device or its usability."
"Transmit volume seems adequate, although it will begin to distort at a relatively low radio input volume, so you need a good Bluetooth receiver-amplifier on the receiving end if you plan to use it in a noisy environment such as a motorcycle headset. Considering the other ones that some of my friends bought and what they paid for them and the performance they got, this one exceeded my expectations due to the low price. I marked it down a star because of the low tolerance for distortion when the volume is too high on the input."
"I hadn't heard of TaoTronics until fairly recently, but I've found this company to be leading the curve in developing cool useful gadgets."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"First, I did not like the ‘fish eye’ lens on the P2 vision as I don’t have time to do the correction afterwards. I was not too hung up on the range because at 1000ft in daylight, you probably won’t see the quadcopter so you’d have to rely on the video, which cuts in and out around 700ft and sometimes drops out. Welcome to the DJI Phantom 3 Advanced with improved range especially video, rectilinear lens and gimbal, added features over its predecessor at a price no one else can beat and it’s ready to fly right of the box. Physical dimensions of the quadcopter are about the same as the P2 except with the addition of the vision position sensor and gimbal [non-vision plus]. It is the Inspire 1 remote controller [form, fit and probably 90%+ function]- Contoured rubberized edges for comfortable grip, tablet support capability, video transmitter built in the controller, built-in Lipo battery and camera controls plus the “PAF” mode switch neatly tucked on the side for unintended operation. I also liked the fact that all of the aircraft and remote controller settings can be accessed directly from the tablet/mobile device as opposed to its predecessor where it has to be connected to the computer - very smart move DJI. I’ve been flying outdoors to make sure I get all the practice and not crash this thing. I also love the built-in director app to quickly edit and compile your videos and watch or send them. Using this thing under sunlight can be an extreme killer so I’ve ordered a sunshade. You’ll probably need a lanyard as the controller with the tablet will have some weight and after prolonged use, your muscles will start to twitch. I pretty much used this thing about 3-4 times within a week and the battery indicator did not go below 75% which is solid. Don’t go disabling the GPS [unless you have a license or permission] to make life difficult for the rest of us plus you could lose your bird. Update on 11/10/2015. So I've flown this bird now for over 5 months and I must say that I've matured a lot in flying and using the functions or the quadcopter. Feature added for RTH function to come back to remote controller instead of last take-off point. I don't like the built-in video editor due to the time limitation and a bunch of stuff."
"The new controller rocks and with the built in lightbridge the wifi range is now MUCH better and the FPV being put out on my phone is amazing. 3.). They can now be flown inside (If the area is big enough) due to the new "Sonar" type sensor on the bottom. The phantom will take off and then hover wherever you leave it so that you can control the direction or camera much easier.. Also, DJI offers e very good collection of videos (Found on their YouTube) that really helps you learn how to fly this quad safely and quickly!! The FPV, I found to be nearly HD quality and I noticed its range was amazing!! I still have my quad limited on distance (I choose 400 FT high and 400 feet out) but the quality of the FPV was amazing the entire time.. If your android phone (Or Tablet) doesn't have the DJI pilot app, you can find it from their site if its not in your market.. I found my issue to be the USB cable that came with the phantom wasn't working with my phone for whatever reason.. It comes with extra decals (Like previous Phantoms) in case you dont like gold or silver.. **This review will be updated as I fly and learn my quad**."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"This battery is 3.7V 380mah vs the stock 3.7V 200mah."
"These batteries are definitely larger than the stock battery for the Hubsan X4, but they still fit into the battery compartment without issue."
"That being said, the larger battery size does give me longer flying times, so the trade off is very minor for me."
"These are solid batteries that are behaving very well in use."
"If you own an X11 these are supposed to be a drop-in, but if you have an X11C, you absolutely have to clip up the front of the battery tray and the body mount for the camera so you can push the battery far enough forward to center it in the chassis. With an intact battery tray and body, all of that weight is over the rear and will make it almost impossible to pitch forward vs backward."
"Also put some electrical tape over the flight controller so that the battery doesn't snag on the SMD parts and wires. Also note that it will start to feel sluggish when the battery gets closer to the battery cut off voltage due to the additional weight of the battery."
"Do not store them dead always store them half full if you're going to store them for a long time. My original batteries wore them down past where they were blinking almost dead and a diminished the charging performance dramatically."
"My problem is these batteries are wrapped so loosely that they are very difficult to insert into the battery slot."
