First of all my needs:
I have a 5008 Peugeot that has no airplay or the recognition bluetooth function, listen to music wirelessly. So the idea of testing the product to meet this problem seduced me right away.
Most:
+ Simple connectivity: I plugged a jack (supplied) into the audio output BR02 and my car, and immediately, the bluetooth pairing (iphone 5s) is no problem.
+ It works. Once completed pairing, no mute. Just put on "Aux", and adjusting the volume of the music played from their smartphone.
+ Rather discreet and small. Do not take too much space, fits well in a pocket empty.
+ + Socket cigarette lighter jack provided.
+ No interference with other bluetooth products (I use the integrated handsfree function in the car for example)
Cons:
- And this is mainly why I retired 2 star: I have to press again on réappairage button every time I take the car. Why did they not foreseen an automatic detector or automatic ignition? This is mainly the only big flaw. Because it is painful to have to quickly pick up the case (we hidden by aesthetics), and press it again to listen to music.
This adds a frictional undermining the very principle of bluetooth.
- It's been a little "plastoc" cheap. A little weak as used materials.
- A cigarette lighter may not be far away.
- Contrary to their donut great listener. No design effort.
Verdict: Sound quality, very nice. Very few perdition. I do not know the scope of cons (having only tested the car).
This can make a substitute default cruel lack (and stupid) peugeot choosing not to incorporate airplay in this series of 5008. But it lacks small functional and aesthetic touches to really make a good product.
