For those who don't have in-car bluetooth:

Came across this as a recommended device. It pairs with your phone (doesn't have to be Samsung, CNET tested with an iPhone), and then connects via 3.5mm jack to your cars AUX-in jack for streaming music and answering calls (without touching your phone). Not as great as the premium bluetooth integrated setup, but nowhere near as expensive either.

Oooooh interested!!!
have you or anyone you know tested this? I've bought a few different devices that always fail me so I'm ready to give up.

Well I actually read a mini-review on Engadget of a brand new HTC device that does this, but a few posted in the comments saying that this Samsung device does the same for for about half the price (they were happy with it). I have 9W3 bluetooth (which doesn't have music streaming) but then I have all my music on the RNS510 HDD or play newer music via the MDI.

I would imagine the battery life and the need to recharge this thing being the major downside to this product.

Also would it switch automatically to AUX input on your unit for you, if say a phone call came in? Or is that a manual operation?


Have not had any purpose to plug anything into the AUX input to date. So don't know how it works.
