I have hands free calling in my Range rover 2008 already; just need a device that will stream Spotify etc. Will this interfere with car handsfree?

This will solely depend on your phone. Most newer phones can handle sending Bluetooth calls to one device and Bluetooth audio to another. So I'd say if your phone is 2 years or younger, you're in good shape.

this Griffin device will stream both phone and multimedia audio; however, the multimedia audio output has not bass at all. I had to replace mine with a Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth device which streams both phone and multimedia audio and i am very pleased with it.

I have a 2010 VW Tiguan and it has handsfree bluetooth. I never have interference between the two bluetooth devices. And Spotify works flawlessly. Had it for almost a year and it still works great. Enjoy.

Yes, it can hook up to hands free car kits, headphones, and speakers without any difficulties.I no longer use it as a phone; it is now a super-cool mp3 player that I use with bluetooth speakers.

Yes. The only problem is that sometimes it answers in the car when outside the car in range. You would have to shut the device off when near the car (right near the car only). Otherwise it works great. Good audio, good time on a charge.

I don't have a Iphone so can't definitively answer. But I have a motorolla and am streaming spotify and while using GPS it will break into the music. If your like me and like Rock and at high volumes TURN RIGHT IN 1 MILE over my amped speakers will get your attention. heh.

It can use the radio, but since I live near town the interference is horrible. The unit has it's own speakers. However, if you are driving and you don't want hear the video they are watching. I suggest you buy the cordless headsets, then they can watch and you can have your radio for whatever you want to listen to.

Does anyone with an iPhone have experience with using this product? I, like the original questioner, need this device just for media/music. My car's Bluetooth is set up for Phone calling/receiving. Apple iPhone does not allow you to set up "Phone only" and "Media only" profiles for Bluetooth like Android does. I'm curious to hear from someone who has used this and owns an iPhone.

Yes,you can make calls, and receive them, right through your stereo. Your music would pause and allow you to talk and also, once you turn your car off, the system would shut down, that's, if your stereo operates with the key (ignition) and your phone will pick up the Bluetooth automatically and your music from the phone will play once the car ignition is on again. Its really awesome! I'll give it thumbs up!

Yes it will announce who is calling and ask whether you want to answer the call or not. It will not interrupt or turn down the radio. You will hear the phone ring through the Motorola Roadster which will give you plenty of time to turn down the radio and then just say "answer" and you will be hands free.

Typically no, this unit will broadcast from the phones audio out and into this device that they outputs it into the car speakers. I've never tried it with my phone for a call, but they sell other units that handle calls through bluetooth that have a better external microphone, etc.

The rest have basically answered your question, it worked ok on my phone until I left the house which was the point of it. It could be my phone carrier but do you want to chance that with your car? I never really used its since I couldn't connect once I left the house.

Yes, Spotify works fine. Shows song data and you can control playback from the head unit.

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.

No, this device is a speaker that works with your phone. Reception is great, however at the other end everyone I speak with has difficulties hearing clearly, Holding the phone closer to my mouth (defeats the purpose of hands free really) works best. Pairing was easy and battery life is great otherwise. If you want something that works through your car speakers it will require professional installation from a place such as Car Toys. In short if I had known all this up front I wouldn't have thrown my money away on this particular device, you get what you pay for in this case.

I can only tell you that I plug in my I phone to play my play lists and the wireless remote will do the scan and song changes. I primarily use a receiver on mine that way I don't have to much clutter and it works great! Ground the system good it will eliminate any engine noise and improve the sound quality.

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.

I don't like to use it when is hooked up to the radio. The person on the other line will hear you far or not hear you at all. It will depend on how far is your cell phone for you to speak into it. I would purchase one that has an external microphone that you can install to your visor that you can speak into. Works well to listen, charge, cell/I-pod and great to use with navigation GPS. Good luck

I haven't had any problems with it. I talk to my boyfriend all the time on speaker phone and without it. If it's difficult to hear them while driving I recommend having a radio with an aux port. If the radio is Bluetooth compatible just sync it with you're smart phone or use a generic aux cable and plug it into your headphone port on your smartphone. Either way this patches it through your car speakers. This works really well especially if it's windy or bad weather. My bf says when I do that it sounds very clear.
