Kinivo Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit (BTC450)

Installation: Easy to install. Open it, Fix the 3M tape and Paste the Multifunctional switch over it. Insert the cable in Aux input and another in 12V power outlet.Operation: This was one such unit where i have not read the manual and went ahead by pairing the phone by switching on the bluetooth. Remember to power on the car such that 12V cigarette lighter gets the power which turns on the multifunctional switch. The unit will be displayed as new device into your phone and then just click it. The unit will get paired and you will hear click sound. So simple.In order to test the unit, now call your paired phone from another phone. The phone will start ringing and you will also hear a beep sound from multifunctional switch. Now click the multifunctional switch by pressing it, the call will get connected. The caller voice can be heard through the car speaker (wow effect) yes !! Car speaker (i said). As you speak to the caller, your voice will be picked by the microphone situated at the multifunctional switch and to the caller it would be really difficult to identify that you were speaking using bluetooth handsfree, the call quality is so clear and mic is so good.I tested the mic sensitivity where in multifunctional switch was installed near my VW Polo cigarette lighter so that it stays hidden from everyone eyes but should work and to my surprise it work perfectly like charm. My voice was picked while i was sitting on driving seat and it was also picked perfectly from the back seat (as if i was on driver seat) No distortion or echo was heard at the caller end.I tested this myself by acting as caller and asking my friend to sit in the car driver seat and rear seat. Conclusion: The unit microphone is so sensitive and clear that you can place it anywhere (i would say hide it anywhere) and still your voice will be picked as if you are talking on the phone.Tested the music stream function and it worked great as well.Overall: Very much satisfied with the unit. My sole purpose to gets handsfree and hear caller voice from my car speaker got solved. Also i was able to keep the multifunctional switch near the cigarette lighter such that it stays in my reach and remains somewhat hidden :) Works great ...definitely recommended to everyone.

Initially, I received a defective product, which wouldn't turn on, Amazon promptly replaced it. Since then, I have been using this product for almost a month now, in my car. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product. Detailed explanation:1. Sound Quality - This product DOES NOT SUPPORT aptx, contrary to the seller's answer. That's not to say that the sound quality is bad, in fact, that's not the case at all. If I give 10 points to a good quality aux wire (I was using a Boat Aux Cable before this), I would give this a solid 9. One issue I faced was that for my main phone (Samsung Galaxy S7), the audio volume was sufficient, but for another phone that I connected to it (OnePlus 3T), the volume dropped significantly, and I had to turn the volume up by 3 times, on my audio system!2. Bluetooth Connectivity - When powered on the first time, it connects to the last connected device in under 2 seconds. But the issue comes when you restart the car engine. The device apparently goes into standby mode, and you have to power it on by pressing the main button. From there it continues smoothly, it connects to your device again quickly, then you need to press the main button once more to resume audio playback. Haven't tried during a call though.3. Call quality - I had no issues here, the person on the other end of the lead ne could hear me clearly and I was able to hear them just fine, too. Some reviews have been complaining about having to turn up the volume for calls, I didn't face this issue.4. Build quality - This little device is well built, it has been tolerating the intense sunlight and heat of Indian summers, in my car, which is parked out under the sun the whole day. The buttons' feedback is good and everything feels well put together. The only niggle I have is that the device is not perfectly synced with the size of the adhesive base, and wiggles around a bit. This adds a bit of cheap factor, not a deal breaker though. The adhesive tape is 3M manufactured.5. Price - I think for around 1.6k, the price is justified for the added convenience. Additionally, you get a decent car charger in the box.So, I would recommend that you pick yours, today :)

Brilliant device. Very simple and easy to install. Just takes a few minutes to do so. All you have to do it pair the device with your smart phone, next insert the 3.5mm jack into the aux port of the car's audio system & plug the powering port into the lighter socket - and you are set! The sound quality is superb - both for voice calls and music.Pros:Made a few calls with the device and the voice clarity from what i understand is as good as speaking through the handset / phone. No disturbance was noticed during calls - even while driving in traffic.The music quality is equally brilliant. As good as connecting your phone through an aux port. You can change tracks and pause and play through the physical device. Very convenient, as you don't have to use your phone to change tracks all the time.It also pairs well with phones and remembers your device every time you get into the car and turn on the ignition.Cons:The only issue with the device is the quality of the wires used. They feel weak and poor in terms of build quality. Feels like they will rip of any time. So secure the wires properly while fixing it with the 3m tape. Ensure that no wires and passing through sharp sections or cutting into edges.But for the last point - great product. Surely worth the price - Go for it!

Cela doit faire 1 ou 2 ans que je l'utilise, vraiment presque rien à dire,Le récepteur fonctionne super bien pour 2 téléphones, l'appairage se fait assez facilement, automatiquement sur un téléphone, manuellement pour le second (il faut juste ouvrir le menu bluetooth de son iphone et lui demander de se connecter).L'appareil a un peu de mal à s'appairer de temps en temps (je dirais une fois tous les 4-6 mois), mais il suffit juste de le reconfigurer (ce qui prend littéralement 2 min) pour qu'il fonctionne bien à nouveau.L'astuce est de connecter le téléphone secondaire en premier, puis le téléphone principal (enfin celui qui doit se connecter automatiquement).Bien lire la notice pour comprendre cette petite manipulation, qui n'est pas très intuitive.Sinon le produit est top, les câbles sont relativement longs, et les boutons fonctionnent bien,Bref, ça marche et c'est déjà bien (j'en ai mis plusieurs à la poubelle de ces récepteurs bluetooth).

Sencillamente perfecto.He estado usando un dispositivo similar los últimos dos años, pero ya fallaba al conectarse y generaba mucho ruido de estática, a pesar de usar un filtro para filtrarlo, así que decidí cambiarlo.Estuve mirando varios modelos y me decidí por este y bendita la hora, es de una calidad muy superior a la media y, al contrario que con mi anterior conector, no necesita el filtro antiestática para evitar el ruido, así que, perfecto.Invertir unos pocos euros más ha dado un gran resultado.

Rapporto qualità-prezzo ottimo. Montato e connesso in 60 secondi. Si accende e spegne con l'auto e si connette in automatico. Buona qualità audio.

Ich habe so einige Freisprechlösungen ausprobiert, die mein iPhone an das Radio anbinden sollten (das Autoradio soll das Originale bleiben, das ist mir ganz wichtig). Darüber sollen Radio- und Spotify-Stream laufen, idealerweise auch Telefonate. Das Autoradio dient dann 'nur noch' als Soundanlage, komplette Steuerung übers Smartphone. Der Einbau einer Parrotlösung scheiterte daran, dass das Soundsystem eine 5-Kanal-Anlage ist und Parrots max. 4 Kanaäle bedienen können.1.) iPhone direkt an AUX: Viel zu leise, flacher Musik-Sound, Freisprechen via iPhone auch zu leise2.) Jabra Freeway: nach etwa 1/2 Jahr immer schlechter werdende Sprachqualität, Musik via FM-Transmitter mit vielen Störgeräuschen. Zudem, wenn mans abzuschalten vergisst, verbindet es sich immer wieder mit dem Handy im Haus...3.) Kinovo BTC 480: Bestmöglicher Musiksound, gute Sprachqualität, super schlichtes Design, einfach zu bedienen, Telefonate laufen über die Anlage im Auto, schaltet mit der Zündung aus. Mit ein bisschen Mühe kann / sollte man die Kabel verstecken, dann fällt das Gerät am Armaturenbrett kaum auf. Damit hats mein Saab 9-5 Kombi (eines der letzten Baujahre) doch noch ins digitale Zeitalter geschafft :) Das perfekte gerät für genau diesen Zweck!

Great Value. Great performanceNow have hands free bluetooth in our 2008 Land Rover Discovery 3
