I typically stream audio from my iPhone to my car head unit (Pioneer) via bluetooth. Will I have to give that up to use this radar detector?

I just got mine and I am able to Pandora to my car radio via Bluetoooth as well as connect to my ODBII unit for Torque app and the Cobra app all simultaneously.

The sound comes from the unit, the display is your iPhone. You should be able to play your music just fine through Bluetooth

I use Spotify over blue tooth. You can use the receiver to skip through songs.

I use Bluetooth with my car's newly installed non-factory audio receiver and it works very quickly and efficiently outputting audio of the conversation through my car's speakers and microphone so that I don't have to use a hands free corded or a hands free bluetooth on an ear.

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

Yes. If there is a pending trap or warning it will stop the music give the warning then continue playing the music. It also works well if your phone is paired with the bluetooth in your car. I originally bought the escort without this option and quickly realized this was needed as it will give you advanced warning when approaching a spot where Laser has been detected.

no it only interface with your Bluetooth master, aka your phones. There are two ways to play through your car systems. By Bluetooth or hardwired in.

if the radar detection device is bluetooth, then yes. Valentine One has a bluetooth connection to the iPhone, so it might be something that can be done.

Yes if works with iPhones and any other device that uses bluetooth streaming. On your iPhone, if you answer a call, it automatically shifts sound to the handset. Any car with an aux in jack (looks like a headphone plug receiver on your car) will work with this device.

It only reads your cars computer functions and parameters when plugged into the obd port, has nothing to do with the radio so it won't work to stream music. You need radio with Bluetooth or an auxiliary port to stream your music from your phone

I don't know. My car does not have a browsing feature. I only streamed audio.

Hi Priscilla, I havent´tested it.... I read some place that it gives some issues, but since I use Android, cant tell for sure... I do not use the phone for streaming music to the car radio, I just use them with bluetooth for calling and receiving calls... If you ask me, it is one of the best options for 1 din radios........... If you have 2 din, then you should consider for example 2 din radios, for example i have a pionner..and it has apps for iphone

This unit is intended to broadcast Bluetooth so the only setup you can think about is plugin in to your iPhone and broadcast music. Still I think it would not work because the Bluetooth used in cars are primarily for phone calls.When I had an iPhone, I could not even use a regular Bluetooth headset to listen to music. I doubt it would work in a car.

Phone is off? Radar only alerts. Phone is on? Other things will be displayed/alerted. There are then choices about which device you want to hear the alert through. However, radar only if no phone attached at all. If it's just in your pocket, you MAY still be able to get other alerts if it's paired and on. However, I find that since I'm also connected to bluetooth audio and handsfree with my phone, lots of the alerts never make ANY noise, because my phone silences them.

There are many Honda/Acura vehicles that have Bluetooth for phone but do not support Bluetooth streaming for music. This unit would add the streaming but when in use would probably take over the hands free phone connection from the vehicle as well. Any comments from someone in that situation?

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.

Yes, but there might be small features that do not work with other vender equipment such as this. For instance I can not memorize locations with this one. If I want to do that I have to use the buttons on the detector. But everything else works. I love it and would not drive without it. So great for silencing the unit quickly and having more lights go off when radar is detected. Great unit for the price.

This is Kevin from ReplacementRadios. You can use a standard FM antenna connection or a 3.5mm aux input for this product. If your FM antenna connection isn't present on the radio, you'd need to use your aux input, so you'll have a cable coming out from behind the dash and running to that aux plug. Then you'll select your aux input button to listen to Bluetooth audio coming through the device.
