Will this device work or conflict with the existing bluetooth handsfree in my car which only handles phone calls and navigation directions (no music)?

Not sure. I do use it with a Bluetooth earpiece though. The earpiece seems to override when I get a call. I think you'll be fine, but I imagine it will only talk to one device at a time.

Yes, it will work along side your car's built-in Bluetooth. The way that I found that will allow both to work 100% of the time is to first turn on the car (so that it's Bluetooth is in the seek mode), then immediately turns on your phone's Bluetooth. Wait a few seconds or until the connection is made (which shows up on my car's display), then turn on the Mpow Bluetooth. It will then connect to your phone also. You can verify that by going to your phone's Bluetooth setting. Both should show as "connected." Then you can listen to music/podcasts, but when a call comes in, it will automatically switches to the car's Bluetooth to handle the call, while pausing your music playback. When the call is over, it will automatically switch back to your music/podcast. I have a Toyota and an HTC One phone. Your mileage may vary.

I would assume you are planning on plugging this into an existing aux input for the radio in your vehicle. You would then pair this with your phone as a media receiving device to transmit that media to your vehicle's radio though that aux input. Then if your vehicle allows yo to connect your phone for calls, you could also do that. My phone allows me to connect my phone calls to one bluetooth device and the media to another at the same time.

Try it and see. If the blue tooth interfers with signal it wont work. Read the paper that came with the parts.

This answer doesn't really answer the question - will this device interfere with other blue tooth devices?

If you have aux. In into your dash.. it will work. Even when installed into cd changer aux. Out... it can be installed. if so... will work!!!

I did not find it compatible. It would constantly disconnect and had to be reconnected which was not user friendly when driving the car and trying to take a phone call.

Yes. This unit is not for phone calls at all. As long as your phone can support multiple bluetooth devices simultaneously, you'll be fine. I use it in the same manner as you described - car for phone calls, Griffin for music. It's great! I don't even know it's there anymore.

Yes. It works. My car doesn't have Bluetooth either. I use it everyday from home to work and the other way around. Phone calls and phone GPS guidance. Paired with my two phones and take calls in both. The battery charge duration is months in my case. Very good product.

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.

Yes. It behaves like any OEM bluetooth based car phone system - which is appropriately prioritizing the call over the radio music.

If your talking about the built in microphone for the Bluetooth hands-free calling you don't have to plug anything in for that. If its not working the microphone is either defective or the setting in your phone are not allowing input from that microphone. What is the year make and model of your vehicle?

it does work with Bluetooth but it sucks because the other party will not be able to hear you no matter how much it's adjusted. it will stream via the iPhone if that's what you're asking. I have the Lexus is250 w/navigation and it works fine. the other path will be able to hear the navigation it you're speaking to them in the microphone. I hope this helps.

If your car already has bluetooth, you don't even need this device! Just use any bluetooth device like an iPhone, Android phone, tablet, etc. and you should be able to stream music to your car radio. I can't believe this hasn't been posted already!

No. You lose the factory Bluetooth hands-free controls. The Bluetooth functionality of the unit is below the OEM standard; disappointing. The only steering wheel controls that work with this unit are the channel change, volume control and Mode change.

I doubt it, I've only used the iPod interface so far and I have both steering wheel and on screen controls in my vehicle. The only thing that works correctly is the volume button. Every time I turn off the car I need to disconnect my iPod and reconnect it, to get it working back to where it was when I turned the car off. The installer I used told me these only work about 25% of the time, and rarely work as advertised. He was spot on with mine, it works to get sound out, but that's about it. I would look at other options, the only reason I didn't return this is that I paid to have it installed.

Yes. It will work with any Bluetooth compatiblle phone. And a professional installer simply hooks it right into your Stereo. It doesnt matter what kind of Vehicle you have. Your local Stereo shop will be able to install it for you in a matter 30 minutess or less.

I have a Nexus 5 and a Nissan Rogue with Bluetooth for phone calls only. I purchased this device and can confirm that this device will connect to your phone along with your car Bluetooth for phone calls. It worked flawlessly and also auto connects when i turn my car on. You might want to make sure your phones bluetooth is compatible because im not sure if all phone can connect to multiple devices at one time. Mine does and i love this thing. During phone calls it paused the music and after the phone call was over it started the music from where it left off.
