Does this automatically connect after initial pairing? I want to get in the car and on my phone simply turn BT on and it connect each time. Will it work?

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. :(

For me, with an iphone 5, it does reconnect when I turn the car on. My power outlet is powered off when the car is off, not sure if that makes a difference.

You need to have your bluetooth set to 'on' on your phone. The 1st time, may take 1 or 2 tries. After that, no problem.Then you can connect the radio. I've found the BT to work very well. I enjoy the Pandora & the phone works as should. Good luck & enjoy.

I have a similar adapter that I have used in a car. It removes the step of plugging in a stereo connector. I got software for my android that connects the bt device to my phone and starts the music player when the bt device is turned on. The missing step that OEM infotainment systems do is connect your device automaticlly when it enters the vehicle.

It will connect automatically , but it won't start playing . You have to hit play either on the screen or on your device. The player will put the song on pause when you turn off the car and unless it's playing when you connect it you have to unpause it.

I just tried this while it was connected to my ipad. When I plugged the BT into the charger it turned off. But when I pressed and held the button while it was charging it reestablished the connection and worked while charging.

I leave the Bluetooth on my phone all the time, and when I get into my car, I turn The Tenergy on, and it links with my phone immediately. I don't have to search or pair every time. I have to search/pair about once a month, and that's probably due to my own switching Bluetooth on and off on my phone.

Yes until you change it but don't understand why. After u sync your phone. Every time you get in and start car your phone automatically connects and when you get phone call it interrupts any other source. If you put phone on Bluetooth audio it automatically play whatever music is on your phone so maybe that helps

Same problem. Except that I figured out how to connect to another BT phone but not to other devices that you can't tell your "code" to. Can someone explain to me how I'm supposed to connect to an automatic kiosk, like the Kodak digital printing machines at the mall? There's no place to enter your made up "code" into the kiosk so this phone won't conenct. !!?? My father's Samsung flip phone works fine. !!?? It doesn't ask for any damn code. Any ideas? Can you turn off the "code" requriement for BT connections?Help!

This is not necessarily a problem. If you have an Android phone, after pairing the device, you can go into Bluetooth settings for the device and uncheck the box for "Use for phone audio". Make sure the "Use for media audio" box is checked. This will allow you to still use your car's BT calling features while retaining the ability to stream media through this receiver.

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.

I have tested that function this morning. It will NOT automatically "Connect". However, it does remember that it is a device that you have previously "Paired". So you will need to go into the setting/bluetooth and manually "Connect". Or just click on the name and it connects.

Hi Mohamad,I have had the Mpow for about two months now. To answer your question, as long as the bluetooth on your phone is on and there is not any other bluetooth devices near that your phone knows, the Mpow should connect automatically.

The device will be in "ready" mode as long as the power button is turned on. The logo on top will flash slowly while in this mode. Once you have paired the first time your phone should auto connect while in range as long as your Bluetooth is turned on. Anytime you are connected to the device the logo will be solid blue.

I've not used the app much since I downloaded it. The manual pairing works fine and friends and family use the pair of speakers by the manual approach: connecting to the first speaker, then (bt and +), turning on the second speaker, then hitting the bt button on that twice.

As the others have mentioned, pairing any iOS device needs to happen once only. I am using it with multiple iOS devices including iPads, iPhones and iPods. If the device auto shuts down, you can just reconnect to it from your iOS device. It will wake up the speaker and connect to it automatically. I have never had to pair any iOS device more than once.

Hadn't tried it until you asked. Yes, it connected the first time with no issues. The previous answer you got that you have to use the 3.5 earphone jack is incorrect. It most certainly does work via bluetooth, but as other users suggested, just make sure it is not paired with another device such as an iPhone or iPad when you establish the connection.
