PALOVUEBluetooth Aux Adapter, Audio Car Kit USB Adaptor with 3.5mm Jack for Car Music Streaming and Calling or Home Stereo, Built-in Microphone

Plug and play. It is actually CD quality and perfect fit for usb near aux socket on a Skoda Roomster where the socket is next to handbrake so no trailing cables to catch. Works fine with iPhone, just select in Bluetooth which turns itself off when you switch off. Good sound quality and sound level. Appears well made and packaging good indicator. Not tried hands free mic yet but we’ll see how that gets on in updated reviewUpdated review 10 February 23Great until yesterday when it made a loud noise like sudden radio interference and the volume dropped by more than 50%. Been using 14 days.Disconnected and un-paired and re-paired the link flow with my iPhone but the problem persists. Turning the volume up from 12 to 24 gives sound but the Linkflow is now picking up background noise from the car indicators and electrics so not really usable. Amplification seems to have failed.Emailed Paloview customer service to ask whether Linkflow failed or can I reset it but no reply so far.Updated review 13 June 23Given up with the Linkflows - 3rd unit spontaneously stopped working and couldn't be found. Very neat unit just some kind of manufacturing problem with the chips inside I suspect. Bought a 1Mii Bluetooth 5.0 Receiver for Car on bass that I have 1Mii for analogue hifi which works fine so wish me luck

Simple connection. Works brilliantly. Have played Amazon music and Greatest Hits Radio. Very pleased.

Whilst I can't speak for other cars, this little dongle is prefect for me. I recently upgraded to a rather nice BMW F20 and was sorely disappointed with the lack of a Bluetooth audio option. In these one series models, the USB and aux is located inside the armrest console and so it tucks away pretty seamlessly.Connecting to the item was absolutely flawless and took a couple of seconds, and sure enough, it connects instantly thereafter to my phone!In terms of audio quality, it is on par, if not slightly better then the aux in. Very happy. Only thing I would say is if you turn up the volume in the car too much there is a *very slight* static noise which you can hear if you pause the music - to counteract this all you need to do is turn up your phone volume and turn down the car volume and it's sorted.I can't comment on longevity yet but I've heard a few reviews saying it stops working after half a year , etc. For the price of this item, I would be happy to replace twice a year or so considering the audio quality and quality of life improvement!All in all - great product. Will do the job. Comes with an aux extension cable in the box in case your USB and aux inputs are further away.

This unit is small, discrete and works extremely well. Once setup, it connects to you phone quickly and transfers streamed music very well. I heard and saw it in my brothers mini and I had to replace the unit I was using for this one.

I have a mini countryman 2015 r60 with the cd boost radio (which has bluetooth connectivity for phone calls but not audio streaming). I didn't want to pay for a hifi upgrade and didn't like the look of some of the other bluetooth streaming devices available which had wires or buttons. This little device is brilliant - it just plugs into the aux in & usb sockets in the central rail (so i now use the cig lighter for charging when needed), pair your phone and voilà. In bluetooth settings I opted to use this for audio only, my car still handles calls, meaning I can still use the steering wheel buttons to answer and hang up. It connects automatically when I start the car up and plays seamlessly with great audio quality. A very simple and cost effective solution.

This is a bit of long term review I guess, because I’ve had ones of these in my E61 BMW for a good couple of years now. It’s a nice small item, so when fitted in the rear of the centre console, most of the time it’s out of the way. I only remove it when someone’s sitting dead centre on the rear seat, they could possibly knock & damage it getting in or out.The Bluetooth connects up immediately every time without fail, and as far as I’m concerned sounds great. It’s just about the easiest plug-in Bluetooth solution I’ve found. No controls on this item, so I use a decent in-car music player app, which shows big clear controls + stays displayed. VFM for a simple solution is unbeatable. 👍

After reading reviews for various Bluetooth receivers, I was a little worried about audio quality and, in particular, unwanted background noise. But having used this, I can say it sounds great and there is no noticeable noise when running off the auxiliary power (via a usb adaptor) in my Toyota Avensis. Sounds to my ears equivalent to connection via 3.5mm jack.Setup is a doddle. Plug into the 3.5mm aux audio input and into a usb socket for power. In my case these are both co-located in the central console (no more wires running through the cabin is a bonus). Comes with a longer cable for use cases where the two sockets are not right next to each other. The Bluetooth setup is very straightforward and, once done, the phone pairs automatic - very quickly - whenever the car is powered up.Last thing to mention is the mic. For many of the Bluetooth receivers I looked at, the mic gets bad reviews. I wasn’t expecting much, but when trying a few calls today, people on the other end said they could here me just fine (with the armrest open, of course). Not a big deal for me as the car has Bluetooth for calls which works very well (just not for music, unfortunately).All in all, an easy and effective upgrade for adding Bluetooth audio to a car without that functionality. Very pleased with the purchase.
