Does it auto-connect when a phone is within range?

Yes. But the device turns off to save power when your phone goes out of range for over 5 minutes. As soon as you turn it on it will reconect. And of course, there is an initial pairing that has to be done just like with any device.

No not once you go out of range for longer than 5 minutes. You then would have to turn it on again. Once paired though it remembers the device you paired it with.

make sure your phone has bluetooth on and it should pick it up with no problem

No. As I said in the review, it does not auto reconnect if you've been away for more than a few minutes. You have to press the terrible little button every time.

Only if it is already on, to save battery, if the device isn't active after about 15 minutes it shuts off. But if you turn it on your phone will find it automatically.

Hey...I have it linked to my blackberry and it connects to my stereo as soon as I walk into the house. It all depends on how you have it set up on your phone. I set it up so it automatically connects.

The unit does go into a low power 'sleep' after you've moved far enough away from it. If you're car is within 30 feet of where you are it will likely stay connected. This happened to me just the other day. Once you're back in the car just tap the call button and it will wake up and connect to your phone.

yup..turn the key on..and as long as the device's bluetooth is turned on, it will connect automatically in about 2 second's time.

Yes. Go to settings, turn on Bluetooth, click on wireless device once displayed & pairing should be automatic.

It will automatically connect. You only use app to change settings. You do not need the app honestly

The product has a sensor that will connect automatically upon re-entering the car. The device will say "attempting to connect" when you open the door or unlock the door to get in. Then - it will connect and say "connected". The device will go to 'sleep' after leaving the car. The only thing to watch for that if your car is very close to where you are with the phone - it will stay connected within a certain range...but you can always turn Bluetooth off on your phone.

i doubt bluetooth's security will even allow that to happen on any receiver. if that was the case, anybody that passed by with a smartphone would autoconnect.

Hi Mohamad,I have had the Mpow for about two months now. To answer your question, as long as the bluetooth on your phone is on and there is not any other bluetooth devices near that your phone knows, the Mpow should connect automatically.

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.

I just tried mine, paired automatically if nothing else paired with phone, but not if anything else paired with phone

Once you connect the devices (like you would pair a phone to any blue tooth device) it connects at the time of activation and stays connected. If a phone call comes in it will disable the intercom for phone connection. Once the phone call is over it will automatically reconnect to the intercom. I use this for extreme off road riding to stay connected with my son and listen to my I-phone. works flawless up to this point.

It does not auto play on connect. You have to press play on your phone, for me anyway. I have a Samsung S5.

After the bluetooth is paired with your phone you call answer the call by the button on the side ao disconnect the same way. The phone does have to be close to use because the range depending on any structures is around 30 feet

Yes, it automatically turns off and on when you leave and enter your vehicle. Not sure how it knows how to turn. About 50% I have to mess with it (e.g. turn on and off the switch, reconnect my phone, plug it in to the charger, ask nicely) to have it turn on and connect with my phone. I'm beginning to lose my faith in the product. Great idea but definitely buggy when it comes to automatically connecting to your smartphone.
