Belkin CarAudio Connect FM Transmitter and hands-free (LC display, Bluetooth, USB) (Electronics)

Customer Review

Set Up:
- IPhone 4S, in a
- Volvo V50 / S40 Momentum (basic sound)
- Since 1.5 months in use (good enough that I enschlossen me against returning)

Pro:
- Very simple setup
- Very fast "light-off" of the device after pressing the ignition
- Talk and music transition when boarding / disembarking works without problems (jumping of the art during the call / music between Bluetooth transmission in the car and "normal operation" outside - is whether (outside) the phone with earphones or directly on the iPhone / part)
- Jumps as been intended in Bluetooth mode of music playback on call and Back
- Good call quality
- Call answer / end a button very good

Cons:
- Sound quality ok, but now and then slightly distorted (metallic, "robot-like" echo, especially in spoken word -> For audiobooks recommended less)
- Slight background noise / Fiepsen that one then perceives between songs at full volume
- The already (in my experience) weak voice recognition via Siri (announcements contacts and receive calls) works via the built-in microcomputer of Belkin even worse than it already
Also be taken Proper click interval of the push button for double (for "next song") only after exercise and not always -
- Rare (1 time per week driving a lot) "depends" the device - either loses Bluetooth signal or no longer transmits to the car radio. An approximately 2-second press of the push button allows the device restarts and reconnects properly (so far made only with music, not during a call)

Assessment:
- Suitable for simple / loud music enjoyment
- Excellent for the "Reachable-being" in the car
- For audio books to poor sound quality (please setup - could be because)
- Unsuitable for dialing by voice recognition (but in iPhone 4S anyway not particularly good)

CONCLUSION:
- Does not replace the permanent installation of a hands-free system and iPod interface, but is 75 EUR a valid alternative for the budget-conscious upgraders
