Can I use it to connect my BT phone to my car speakers? If so, will it stream phone calls too? Lastly, does it auto connect or do you have to manually pair each time?

No. As Boston Bean Answered it is a BT transmiter not a BT receiver. I use it to transmit / convert my conventional receiver's headphone output to my Bluetooth headphones. To transmit BT audio to a conventional audio input I use Belkin F8Z492-P Bluetooth Music Receiver that uses A2DP stereo Bluetooth. Both of these devices only support BT Media audio profile not BT Phone audio profile. Meaning in the case of the Belkin BT Music receiver you can use your phone only to transmit music.

So no it won't you would need to find a Bluetooth receiver if your car stereo has an auxiliary in headphone jack.You only have to pair it once.

Re first ?: this device plugs into a headphone jack an sends sound to a Bluetooth enabled speaker or headphones.

I have not used my phone on it but I'm sure it will work. As for auto connect, yes it does.

The auto connect feature Is a phone feature. So if you program your phone it will auto connect . As far as hooking to your car speakers, that would really depend on your car connection and features of your car. If your car is not equipped that way, I don't believe it will work.

I own this "transmitter" (it's Not a "receiver"), and use it to send the audio from my iMac to my Bose BlueTooth headphones. It works with ALL of my "non- Jaybird BlueTooth devices", as well as my JayBird headphones. Your car's audio system would have to have blue tooth installed in order to stream phone calls to it. If that be the case you wouldn't use this item, which is a transmitter not a receiver, and you'd have to use your phone's blue tooth and stream the call to the car's audio. Basically this JayBird bluetooth streams (transmits) sound from, say your computer, to your Bluetooth headphones , or BlueTooth phone. To stream sound from your phone to your car's audio would require a blue tooth receiver, like the XtremeMac Receiver adapter. You plug this XtremeMac into your car's audio system and transmit from your BT phone to the car's audio. As for pairing with this unit, you pair it once and it then would connect automatically each time after that. Here's a link to the XtremeMac: http://www.amazon.com/XtremeMac-Bluetooth-Connect-Audio-Receiver/dp/B00B9NATUI/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1389046983&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=xXremeMac+bluetooth+audio+receiver

If I understand what your questing no it will take it an sync to the speakers in the car. According to the manual it does stream phone calls, but I have never used that function. It will auto connect automatically. Sometimes after charging you do have to re sync, but that is infrequent.

I don't think these guys understood your question. I was wondering too about this as my car has bluetooth built in for calls, but no a2dp technology for the audio. I searched thru the reviews and I guess it does work with your factory builit-in bluetooth. See copy and paste below. "Works in conjunction with the bluetooth phone headset built into my car, so able to pair audio output & phone interface once I turn on BT on my phone. I rarely have to click the single button on the clip to get it paired."

why can't it connect to any bluetooth device? What's different about bluetooth cell phones than any other bluetooth device?I'm thinking of pairing it with my Oticon bluetooth streamer which gives me audio in/out to the hearing aids to/from the landline phone system. Why not?Once the streamer is paired it should work.

It works for me. One thing weird about the dock is that all audio is sent to the the aux jack EXCEPT for phone calls. No sound comes out of the phone speakers unless you make a phone call. You can use the speakerphone function, but the call may not be loud enough for you. So, if you have the phone connected to the dock, you need to have either the AUX or Bluetooth selected on your car stereo and the unit turned on, or you will hear nothing.

This has nothing at all to do with your cart radio and add such well not help you stream Music via BT. This device connects to the car or truck through the OBD2 (On Board Diagnostics) interface port and allows your phone to communicate with the cars computer system for diagnostics. This will not assist you in playing music, for that you would need to buy an aftermarket radio with BT capability or there is the option of buying one of the little devices that plug into your phone headphone jack and put out the music to an FM frequency that you can then tune the car stereo to.

I have not tried it this way. I have it on a speaker in my home to connect it via bluetooth. I have a bluetooth mechanism that is specifically for the car that has a plug that goes into the auxiliary outlet of the car.

I have not had any direct experience but I would assume it is similar to pairing with a bluetooth mobile phone. I would read your owner manual for the landline phone to see what it says about pairing with a bluetooth device. Between the two instructions (phone and speaker), you should be able to get them together.

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.

If you have paired this item before, and the phone is in the range of bluetooth receiving ; so it can auto connect to your phone when you open. However, it cannot auto start music playback, which need operate by hands.Thanks a lot.

Yes I bluetoothed it to my phone to connect the two. I can also connect it to my computer and tv. You can connect it to your car to play music on your tablet. But it is not a phone where you can stream without a wifi connection,

It can. I have it paired to my iPhone and iPad. When I turn the speaker on it will link to a random one if both are discoverable at the moment. I usually turn BT off of one or the other depending on which I want sending a signal. Never tried the experiment of seeing if both will sync simultaneously and receive competing signals. Hmmm...mad scientist moment coming up...hopefully a wormhole won't form.

If your car already has a bluetooth receiver it should already be able to do what this device can do... This is made for cars who don't have bluetooth already or to make conventionnal speakers into bluetooth speakers.

No, no way to pair it. Both are receivers. You can use it to turn corded headphones into cordless (sort of) with the male to male RCA adapter, then your BT transmitter (phone, or computer with a BT Dongle transmitter) can pair with it.

I have a similar adapter that I have used in a car. It removes the step of plugging in a stereo connector. I got software for my android that connects the bt device to my phone and starts the music player when the bt device is turned on. The missing step that OEM infotainment systems do is connect your device automaticlly when it enters the vehicle.

It should not have anythi g to do with speakers. The audio broadcasts through the same channels. Its either your phone or the headunit. I know this is simple, but have you installed the hands free mic? May want to also check in the settings and make sure BT hands free is turned on.

You have to select the BT Speaker on your phone and wait for them to connect. The speaker will announce "bluetooth connected" and then your ready to play your music. If the speaker doesn't announce it's connected it won't play. That's how I've noticed mines works. I have 2 of them. One for my restroom and one in the kitchen, I'm a music addict. Lol. Hope this helps!!
