Does the bluetooth pairing on the Automatic interfere with the car's built in "hands free" pairing, or do both work at same time?

No, it uses the newer Bluetooth low energy protocol, not regular Bluetooth so both can be used at the same time. I have confirmed this in my vehicle.

No reason it should be a problem. This isn't just an app--which you can download from the App Store for free by the way--it's a device you plug into your car and it transmits the readings from the engine to your smartphone, basically turning your smartphone into a 'black box' for your car.

You need to turn it on with the switch. Once you do that it will connect to the last bluetooth device it was connected to. In case if you leave it on and it goes in standby sometimes you need to press the switch on the front side. So far I was able to connect it automatically although I used it for home purpose and not in car.

It does auto connect each time I turn the truck on. My truck can handle phone audio already, so that's already paired up. I only see media audio as an option in the settings.

You can connect one phone at a time. If there are two phones with Bluetooth in the car it will connect to the first phone it happens to see. For example, if it sees my phone first it will not drop the connection and reconnect to my wife's phone if she gets an incoming call. To get that to work I would need to turn off Bluetooth on my phone and wait for it to attach to her phone. Then it may attach to her phone. As far as I can tell there is no 'prioritization' scheme for it to connect to more than one phone in response to events like the phone ringing or to select a preferred phone for outgoing telephone calls.

Hi Cary I have a BlueAnt Commute in both my cars. I like the text to voice feature which keeps it completly hands free.

Bluetooth work good. Watch out for the steering wheel control. It ll stop working after some time. I contact the seller. He told me to do master reset which I did couple of times but didn't work. Apart from that it works great.

Normally it turns on automatically when you approach the vehicle. Sometime I have to touch the "on" button; or use the I-Phone settings to connect. But most times it automatically connects.

The Bluetooth connects to the phone as soon as you get in the car. (I don't have a BLUETOOTH button on my steering wheel) You have to click "Answer" on the screen when a call comes in As far as the steering wheel controls. In the SET UP menu there is a STEERING WHEEL CONTROL that you several different code options/configuration. It took me a few minutes to find the right one and they all work.

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.

I know nothing about what you are talking about. I use bluetooth in my car and this works excellant.

I don't particularly like the FM radio feature as you have to manually change the radio channel to answer a call. Doesn't work like the factory Bluetooth built into the car, it will not shut off music and switch to phone. With that said, it does work with any FM radio and it works well as long as there are no radio stations on the frequencies you use with the Roadster. Should not be a problem with either phone you listed, pairing is super easy.

Yes. It works with two devices(one at a time). When you get in your car it auto pairs. On few occasions I have seen it will not auto pair until you re-plug the power.

I will clarify by saying you must manually connect Bluetooth every time you turn it on and I am constantly having issues with my steering wheel controls. These features are important to me.

Yes. You have to set up the blue tooth in your car or input a code (if your car has one with the manual), once set up, it's automatic

As long as both devices are powered on and the Bluetooth is on, it will auto pair.

Nope, it connects to both. If a call comes in, it will automatically connect with the cars bluetooth phone. Not tune2air
