XtremeMac InCharge Bluetooth Audio Receiver and 10W Charger $14.99 shipped *It's Back*

Just noticed from pics on Amazon that the Belkin uses 5V in. Maybe a USB to DC in jack might work then?

Quote from duff1856 : I have no issue with distortion using a straight audio cable. Just dont turn the iphone volume to Max. Also, you then have to keep bluetooth on all the time(runs battery down faster), plug it in anyway to power if you want to charge your phone, have a bulky setup at your cigarette lighter(most cars).

Fair enough, but keeping bluetooth on all the time has a completely negligible effect on the battery, from my experience. Also, at least in my car, keeping the iphone turned down to the point where it doesn't distort (about 70% max) gives me such a low voltage output signal that my signal-to-noise is atrocious.

Quote from duff1856 : Not thread crapping. I would still love to use this thing, but an audio cable for cheaper can do the same thing and be a lot less bulky.

Bulky, yes; but certainly tidier. I've been using a cable up until now and I hate having it lay on my passenger seat all the time. (yes, I'm anal)

I also like this particular model (if it works) because it charges via the cigarette lighter, as opposed to USB. I use the USB port in my car to play high fidelity audio files directly from a thumb drive, so I don't want to lose the use of the USB just to power the bluetooth module.

I hear what you're saying - it's not like it's a necessity, and there's no way I'd pay the $79 MSRP the review quoted for this thing, but for $15, I'll jump.

does anyone know which version of bluetooth it uses?

My 09 Odyssey EX-L has power and audio jacks at the 3rd row seat. The home version should work very well and will be out of sight. Hope the product delivers.

has anyone's item actually shipped ?? (from yesterdays selling, not black friday)

Quote from vsiev : Still haven't received mine from DailySteals that I ordered on Black Friday 11/27....They need to get their orders fulfilled before selling more....

Yes DAILYSTEALS sucks over 15days still no shipping on mine too. I would never buy on this site again, ordering one and here and rejecting that delivery.

I got the tracking number the next day, but no updates. From the most current ebay deal. Suppose to arrive before Christmas. Crossing fingers!

already started a paypal dispute and escalated it. that fake tracking # they gave you will never work. you're not getting your product, ever.

hopefully ebay will hold them more accountable.

Yea the tracking number doesnt look like the usual ups style. Really hoping to have in time for Christmas presents. Hopefully I wont have to find out how a paypal dispute works..

It's UPS Innovations - they hand it off to USPS (its their tracking # system).

Either way, it's supposed to show up in UPS and USPS. But it doesn't.

Thanks for the info. I'll keep checking this thread to see if anyone received theirs.

i sent them a 'grumpy' email threatening to report them to ebay / paypal if it wasn't received withing the delivery estimate (what else can i do?.....). have not heard anything.
still hasn't shipped.

if it doesn't update tomorrow, i will never order from dailysteals again.

Product has shipped. Hope everyone else's will also. Can't complain here.

Got the belkin, it didnt connect on several tries and then it worked (go figure!)..
Belkin and extrememac have 1 yr warranty, the logitech has 2 yr warranty.
Belkin...while the advertised range is 33 feet, dont think it goes beyond 20 feet..havent done the mod apparently newer stock the plastic is hard to take apart...there is a limit of 8 devices that you can pair with belkin, not sure about xtrememac
