When on the auxiliary input. If you shut off the car and then restart, does this unit return to auxiliary input or does it go to Bluetooth?

it will not resume music. you have to switch to music and select music again. it does really good job on voice call but the music quality is better then fm radio. if you buy this as music player. you need to ask more people.

For me, with an iphone 5, it does reconnect when I turn the car on. My power outlet is powered off when the car is off, not sure if that makes a difference.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to get the device to reconnect automatically without user action. But read my review below for help making this a car audio device.http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F8Z492TTP-Bluetooth-Music-Receiver/product-reviews/B0047T79VS/ref=cm_cr_dp_synop?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints;=0&sortBy;=bySubmissionDateDescending#R4VGY3GCATF8P

I just turn it off when I leave the car, and on when I get back in the car. It says 'connected" and you are good to go!

Yeah you can, just go to your Bluetooth settings and it should be an option to change it. But I recommend you get the gogroove Bluetooth audio aux receiver, its way better for the car. I made the switch!

This amp remembers multiple devices. You do not have to re-pair the phone or whatever Bluetooth device you are using. You can reconnect to the amp either manually on your phone or you can power cycle the amp and it will automatically reconnect. If multiple devices have been paired with the amp it will attempt to reconnect to the most recent device and then work its way back.

No you should still be able to switch back to sat radio. And use the bluetooth. That's how it work with my infiniti. .

I have and iPhone 5s and if I have music playing it will automatically switch to playing through this device when I turn my car on. When I turn my car off, the music is paused (although this takes a few seconds). If I'm not already playing something on my phone when I turn my car on, it will not start playing anything on its own. For example, it won't remember where I was last time I was in the car and automatically resume playing.

yes it will turn off engine goes off a cigarette lighter but either way the Bluetooth devicedoes not take up nearly enough power to drain your battery and if it did stay on the whole time even with the engine off the Bluetooth device with automatic shut off after a few minutes of inactivity

The auto off takes very little time to shut off when there is no signal (Aux or Bluetooth). Even if there is a signal it has to be making sounds or it shuts off, so don't turn down the volume of your source. It also frequently shuts off even with a signal, so keep the remote handy and be ready to be frustrated. I don't understand why it has any auto shut off feature anyway since it is not battery powered and must be plugged in all the time to work.

You dont have to turn it on and off every time you get in and out the car, unless you plan to be out of your car for long period of time like work, gym, ect.. After so many hours it will turn itsself off to conserve the battery, and you will have to turn it back on. Just make sure you have your Bluetooth connected to it at all times while in and out of your car and remember to keep it charged for optimum usage. It sounds great in the car and is very convenient. The only thing I dont like is when you have to answer the phone...me personally I dont like to answer the phone via Bluetooth. Other than that its a great product. I have 2, one for home and another for my car.

No, the OnStar is completely disconnected. The Bluestar uses the wiring harness formerly connected to your OnStar to connect to your overhead Mic and speakers for Bluetooth calls. It also lowers the fan speed on the AC / Heat so you and your caller have a clearer call. Finally it uses the wiring from the OnStar to answer calls from your steering wheel and the Onstar lights and Buttons on the mirror as visual indicators and to make and end calls. I love the convince the Bluestar gives me. I use the factory GPS so I don't lose on that function. My first issue is A2dp isn't supported to listen to your music using the car speakers and each time I get into the car I have to select Bluestar as my bluetooth device. For some reason it discovers the Bluestar it just wont connect on its own. Your only other choice is BlueFusion BFGMK by Scosche This device keeps the Onstar and bluetooth at the same time. Only issue I had with this device was on VERY cold days I would have to wait for the car to warm up for the device to function properly. I think that adding electrical tape to keep the connections tight would have resolved this issue as it only happened in the extreme cold -10 or colder.

All I can tell you is that it has two pairing modes. I was able to pair it with my Bose bluetooth mini. I have not tried it with my car bluetooth, but I doubt that would work with that application.

Yes it will auto connect once you turn your car on as long as you left your Bluetooth on and haven't changed any settings. I don't think there is an auto music feature but it's really easy to turn on via the top button of the device.

I have two of these units and Zero issues with either. I have one that is used in my car so that I don't have to connect a headphone cable to my smartphone to play music thru the car radio. It automatically connects each time as it should. The other unit I use in my home to play music from my phone thru home stereo. I manually create the Bluetooth connection to this unit since I have another Bluetooth receiver nearby. As to the volume being low.. I suspect that issue may be related to the bluetooth device you are connecting with. With my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 volume seems to remain where I had last left it..

I believe it was advertised as having this feature, but it doesn't seem to work that way. It does reconnect with your phone automatically when you re-enter the car if you leave it on, but it wore the battery down the one time I left it on for more than a day. Also, if I park the car in the garage, the BlueAnt answers incoming calls in the car when I and the phone are in the house and if I try to make a call from inside the house the outgoing call goes through the BlueAnt, so I have to turn it off manually when I am at home.
