This product (Avantree Cara) is awesome at streaming music to your car stereo and also taking hands free calls while driving. However, I have tried to use it for Google Hangouts video chat AND Skype and even though I can hear the other party they cannot hear me. After further investigation I found out that it is not the Avantree product that has the problem, but in fact it is the Android operating system on my phone that has this bug that needs to get fixed. I cannot speak for Apple products as my experience has only been with an Android phone (HTC Droid DNA) and tablet (Asus Transformer Prime). Hope this helps.

You flip it open to answer it. We have Bluetooth in the car, it automatically connects.

No "special" harness is needed to use the Bluetooth features of this unit unless YOUR vehicle has controls on the steering wheel that integrate with Bluetooth features. This unit's Bluetooth is well with phones, tablets and ear devices.

I only used the feature once when I first bought the device to see if it works. None on my phone calls are important enought that they can't wait until I'm not driving. I know it had a lot to do with the phone, and nothing to do with the Motoroal Roadster so a lot would deoned on what kind of phone you are using, and I would not be able to help you there.

Try adding your car under bluetooth devices on your phone as well as adding your phone on the car's bluetooth. My sony flip works well with the 3 cars I've tried it in.

I don't think these guys understood your question. I was wondering too about this as my car has bluetooth built in for calls, but no a2dp technology for the audio. I searched thru the reviews and I guess it does work with your factory builit-in bluetooth. See copy and paste below. "Works in conjunction with the bluetooth phone headset built into my car, so able to pair audio output & phone interface once I turn on BT on my phone. I rarely have to click the single button on the clip to get it paired."

yes, a phone can connect to one device for A2DP stereo media playback and another device for Phone calls. My car has Blutooth phone capabilities, but not media. I have successfully had both connected at the same time.

Yes you can today - the only problem is that Skype claims the phones will not be functional after December 1, 2013. Not sure of what the change in functionality will involve.

Not necessarily. When calls come in on my 2011 S5 it stops the music, but the call comes in on the phone, not the car speakers. if you switch it to speakerphone it automatically switches back to regular phone. It's really annoying so I just turn off bluetooth at that point and use the speakerphone. It also periodically drops the bluetooth for 10-15 seconds maybe once every 15-20 minutes.

Hi Harvey,I'm not sure. My car doesn't have bluetooth capabilities. Other than a cell phone repair shop, the best thing to do might be to contact Consumer Cellular Customer Service directly(888-345-5508). Good Luck! Steve T.

I hope your bluettoth transmiter has an option to select to which device to connect, because it may happen that transmiter confuse the connection. I use these speakes in my car and with my phone there pretty fine.

i would thinks so. as long as your phone is paired with the braven and paired with the car bluetooth system. i would call the braven people to make sure

the belkin is designed to give non blue tooth equiped vehicles the access to bluetooth. so if you have bluetooth in your car already you do not need this

There should be no difference in audio quality as the Bluefusion utilizes your car stereo's system. As with any Bluetooth car kit, the troubleshooting is as follows:1. Delete the current pairing and re-pair the Bluefusion with your phone, sometimes a bad Bluetooth connection can cause issues. 2. Pair the Bluefusion with another (different) phone to see if you can duplicate the problem, if you can, it is likely an issue with the Bluefusion, if you can't, it has something to do with the phone and it's pairing with the Bluefusion, it might need an update on either the phone or/and the Bluefusion. If there is still issues, you will need to contact Scosche Tech Support. There should be no difference in audio quality as the Bluefusion utilizes your car stereo's system.

There is a review of this MPOW Streambot Y at (http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/review/mpow-steambot-y-delivers-bluetooth-for-older-cars?utm_campaign=tmo_home_sidebar) which states that you can do this by pressing a button on the Streambot. If this meets your criteria for "hands free" then, yes; you can do a full conversation hands free.

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.
