You would have to have Bluetooth always enabled on your device, and your device would need to be set to automatically connect.

I use the MPow in exactly this way. It is plugged into a switched outlet on the back of my Sony Receiver (using my home theater speaker system). Switching on the receiver powers the Mpow along with the amplifier. My Andoroid Smartphone always finds it and connects to it as expected. If I another bluetooth has priority (such as hands free phone earpiece), I can take a call and then automatically fall back to the Mpow. Despite a jumble of devices and wires behind my stereo equipment (and the close proximity of Wi-Fi and cordless phone transmitters), it streams beautiful music without any distortion or background noise. In my opinion, it is an exceptional cords free cable with support for flawless Apt-X. I use the MPow in exactly this way.

This is going to depend on your device - the bluetooth connection is initiated by your phone. If your phone is set to always connect to the MPOW when it is available, then yes, it will work as you expect.

I also purchased one of these not too long ago. And I also had the exact same issues you are having. The only way I could get it to work is to turn off the car. Forget the device from my Bluetooth trusted devices in my phone. Then start car back up and re-pair tunelink with phone. ...I will say, I do recommend you return your Tunelink or have them send you another one because you will continue to have this issue.

No. It connects with your device through bluetooth, and then rebroadcasts the signal to a radio station. So, you just tune your car radio to the right channel.

It should turn on automatically when you plug it into the tablet. It didn't work with my tablet even though the description said it was compatible.

Here's my lo-tech response: The tuner takes a digital over-the-air (OTA) TV signal and sends it to a TV that is not equipped with a digital tuner. Usually, a digital antenna is connected to the tuner and then the tuner is connected to the TV. Most SMART TVs these days have a built in digital tuner, so this tuner is often used with older TVs that don't have a built in tuner. In my case, I use this tuner to grab over the air HD TV signals and connect the tuner to a projector for showing outdoor sports games. If you do this, you will also likely need an AV receiver as a middle device for sound. Hope this helps.

It will automatically power up when connected, no button to turn it on. I leave mine connected to the power source in my car. It powers up when I start my car and is ready for streaming immediately. You will need to do your initial pairing to connect it to your device. After that, everything is automatic.

No, you need an FM Radio. The device converts the output to FM Radio. You just need to select an Open Frequency and set the device and you car radio to the same frequency then plug it in. Works best if you fully charge it before you play too.

No, It will automatically pair when you turn on your device. Yes you can use while charging but it is tricky to setup first time. Then you have to leave it on charge continuously.

A few seconds after its powered on it will become discoverable. If your other paired device is set to automatically connect to it, then yes it will. If your other device doesn't automatically make the connection, then no it won't. Its pretty much up the "other" device. I run mine with an i-Pad. When I want to use it, I pick it from the list of available bluetooth devices and it connects instantly but it does not automatically connect if the system has been off. I have also run it from a Panasonic plasma TV. In that case, the TV will auto connect to the device when I turn the TV on. ALSO, you may not want this little gadget plugged straight into the switched outlet on the back of your receiver. You may end up blocking most of the rf signal and getting very poor or no signal. I have mine connected to a short extension cord and then "remotely" connected to the receiver. The Wi-fi signals from the TV (bottom mounted transceiver), blue-ray box, and media streamer box were interfering strongly with the Bluetooth device until I moved it to the top of the TV. Now I have no problems with interference. Hope this helps.

You will have to manually select the dock for input. It also has selections for "aux-in" and "radio" for the built-in tuner. You have to read the dimly-lit LED window in order to know which input is selected. The LED lights on mine quit working after several weeks making it impossible to see what input I was selecting. Mine is now sitting in the garage and no longer in use. I have purchased a Bose Mini-Link Bluetooth speaker as a replacement and it is wonderful.

I don't believe that is true. My husband said it just has a dial to tune it in. Sorry but I've never messed with them.

It will connect automatically if you have Bluetooth enabled when you enter the car. It is a good system, you just have to get use to how to control it.

No it is weather on whenever you turn on.you can tune into different frequencies manually.

Yes it does. The tuner has a cat 5 connection which goes to your router. All devices connected to that network wired or wireless can see the tuner. And if you start up WMC it will see it. If I recall currectly I had to run a setup from the included cd tho. Before that setup it didn't see the tuner.

It will be have to reconnect to the internet source each time it is plugged in. This is not a big deal. I WOULD NOT BUY THIS RADIO DUE TO HAVING TWO AND BOTH OF THEM QUIT WORKING AND AFTER SIXTY DAYS YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

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.

I have two of these. The one I use in the car will connect automatically as it powers off with the ignition key. The one I use in the house is plugged into a wall outlet to usb power supply and I need to unplug/plug in the usb with each use to work. :(
