Good idea, some improvements needed
I was looking for a good quality way to connect my iPhone4 to my 2007 Subaru Outback and have a bluetooth speakerphone without sp ending too much money (I have a Pioneer AVH3200BT in my STi and it is perfect but pricey). The Belkin Aircast is a good alternative. Set-up is easy, there is plenty of cord to connect the power and Aux-in cable to the center console and have the Bluetooth speaker on the dash. When powered on it automatically connects to the iPhone4 and plays the last audio track instantly (which can be a pain since I have the Alarm Clock app set to certain music and that's where it starts off). The sound over bluetooth is excellent without any hissing and calls are clear, no complaints from the person on the other end either. However, if you want to listen to the car's radio or CD you will not hear your phone if it rings (you need to turn the Belkin off to hear it or switch to Aux)! I guess you could stream radio from your iPhone but that means you have to rely on 3G streaming. Or keep your iPhone in line of sight with a Proclip Dash mount (which is my plan). Overall a good product for the money. …

Sounds Awesome
Hooked this up to my 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid with my iPhone and it sounds great with both calls and (especially) audio. This is t he third bluetooth option I have tried for audio through my speakers with stock stereo.. This is the FIRST of those options that produced ZERO static. HIGHLY recommended! …

Track skip DOES work!
To all of you who have stated that track skip does not work, the trick is to not double press to go forward too quickly. If you pr ess DA_DA rather than d-da, so a small gap in between, it will work. Trust me, I use this method all the time.
No issues with my unit either, but placing circular receiver carefully will pay dividends for interference avoidance on phone calls. Some modern cars have electronics in the cabin which will interefere with the bluetooth bandwidth. Take your walkabout landline in the car, turn down the car stereo and listen to your cellphone through the landline phone, moving receiver to optimum position for accessibility and interference.
Music over A2DP Bluetooth in Volvo C30 High Performance Audio is very acceptable indeed.
Hope this all helps. …- Written by Guy M from WINCHESTER

Bluetooth mono... Not stereo!
Had high expectations for this device as it was going to replace my blackberry music gateway in my lexus is250. However i was diss apointed due to poor quality mono audio for iTunes music tracks (not stereo) and phone calls on my iphone5. Think it needs a few bugs working out of it. …

Unacceptable microphone
This device does not work as a hands free device. The sound quality on the receiving end is so poor that the other party needs to concentrate very hard to understand the words. I have a 2009 Subaru Forester and it is not excessively noisy. Not recommended for hands free. …

Would i still need to get the Apple Adapter from lightning to 30-pin?
- Asked by Brian J S from Springfield
- Oct 21, 2012
Answer
You connect your phone to this adapter through Bluetooth, and then the adapter is plugged into the A ux input on your car so no 30pin or lighting cable is required. If you'd like to charge your phone the Cigarette lighter adapter has a USB port on the back for your cable. …
