Car version Out of Stock

Cheaper solution for ipod/iphone docks: $9 (ebay.com [ebay.com])

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....

Nice thanks op ordered 2

I'm trying to cancel mine so I can order the one on eBay. At least on eBay they're held accountable...

------

edit: side rant

Has anyone noticed the new trend on eBay for sellers to automatically send out tracking #'s for items after immediate payment?

Example: I ordered some nano SIM adapters on 11/20. Got shipping confirmation on 11/20.
Item didn't arrive until 12/10. Checked Tracking #, and the item wasn't even sent out to the post office until 12/7.

So that means, the sellers just print out a Tracking label, and then just sit on non-existent inventory until they get it, or ???
I ordered from them because they're a US seller (with US shipping). lThey sat on the label for 17 days!! lTurns out that they're technically only ~50 miles away from me.

I think its a bunch of crap.

OMG... this is exactly what I am watching to buy..
Bluetooth for car..

Thanks OP I got it for $15 ...

It's right. I noticed it recently when I ordered stuff from Ebay.

Be careful with this seller. I ordered mine on 11/28 but havent got any email from them yet. I tried to contact them a few times but no help.

What is the real advantage of the Auto version? how is it any better than using a audio cable in the Aux port and a power cable?

I came in here because I thought it said Xtreme Mac n Cheese.

I'm still hungry, but at least I'll have a cool new BT dongle soon. Thanks OP!

Thanks OP, Got one. needed the car one,really hate to plugin the wire into the phone everytime...i know i am lazy

how long is the audio cable in the car version? My 3.5mm is in the glove compartment. The cable doesn't look long enough. Running a 3.5mm extension cable looks ugly.

Does the Auto/Car version has mic inbuilt?
Spec says I can pick calls with touch of button.

TIA

Thanks OP, in for the home version.

It's because eBay has an upload percentage requirement for tracking now for seller metrics.

I'd love this, but my car stereo don't have an AUX jack. Too bad it doesn't have an FM transmitter built-in too.
If anyone see a FM transmitter deal let me know.

in for 2 home & car. Thanks op!

Yeah, but it's still a bunch of crap.

I'm gonna sell something, print out a shipping label, and then not send it out to you for a month! but its ok, you have a tracking #.

:vomit:

"please allow up to 10 business days for your order to ship" WTF tanga? even a 1 person ebay shop is faster than that!

got oneeee

Is there anything like this that has two connect? Like I have my speaker plug into my laptop via the 3.5mm. It would be nice if I can use the same speaker without unplug it then plug into the bluetooth in order to use my ipod with the speaker.

Guys ... any idea how good the charger is (InCharge™ Home BT, 10W) . I mean how long will it take to charge and how much will it charge the iPhone. I am assuming its like a storage device, that you can use on the road to charge your iphone.

Ordered mine two weeks ago and got this reply yesterday when trying to find out where my order is and when it will ship.

Hi John,

We're so sorry about that! We've been experiencing some issues with our supplier on that item and it might take a few more days to ship out. But I assure you that we're working on the issue.

We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused,
Jen

works with bose wave ?

is the home version better than belkin bluetooth audio receiver? I just got it from amazon...wondering if i should return that and buy this!

This isn't a portable charger, It has a USB outlet on it so you can charger your device while it's plugged into the wall.

i would like to know this as well.

also; will this automatically pair with my android when i come into range ???
thx

too bad my cars's aux are all hidden somewhere. and pickup button is build in with aux plug

To be fair, this "review" is little more than a press release from the manufacturer.

i too am waiting for my items to be shipped from the black friday sale.

Gogroove x2 advanced. Newegg has deal regularly for $35.

Taking such a long time? Surely it is not a Christmas selling or New Year selling.:eek:

Will the home version of this make a regular pair of wired headphones bluetooth capable like the go groove blue gate? Thanks!

Went to cancel my order from Black Friday and suddenly it shows as shipped! Took 20 days to get a tracking number, and UPS has no info on the number.

Awesome, I was looking for a car version in yesterday's deal, and today there it is. Thanks and repped

got one for home. thanks.

Want to buy the one for the car but almost -600 feedback. I'll pass

mine too. but i ordered something else around that time, and it had a similar order # . that order # works in UPS.

i went ahead and filed a paypal claim, it's obvious they just created a shipping label, but have no intention of sending it out.

There is a reason why sellers are doing this. eBay recently changed their policy for sellers to upload more than 90% of their tracking numbers to maintain status. I guess sellers are automating this process just to make sure they aren't caught by ebay. If you aren't receiving the items within the estimated delivery date promised on the item page, you should report this to ebay.


P.S: it kinda helps to work for ebay ;)

Got this one as well for my car.

so.. you.. can... help.. me?? ;)

Agreed. Do NOT buy this if for a xmas gift. I haven't received mine yet from 11/29 order.

I'd start a PayPal dispute if I were you. It's clear that they do not intend on sending these out anytime soon.

I placed 2 orders, lets see if they actually "ship" within the 2 days it has stated for handling time...

PM me...

Actual Review
 

Agreed. Here is an actual review [missingremote.com]. You know, one that isn't a press release.

will this automatically pair with my android when i come into range ??

dang. give them negative feedback

Seriously? It's bluetooth, that's what the advantage is... It's all about convenience. Plus you don't have to deal with the internal phone/ipod amp giving you all sorts of distortion for reasonable volumes with bluetooth.

Can quite tell, is this compatible with the iPhone5?

I posted the following on the last thread for this bluetooth audio receiver...

I recently purchased a USB powered Bluetooth audio dongle, a 10ft usb male to female cable, and a usb charger

Cable - 2.34
Charger -.99
Dongle - 6.76

Total 10.09 shipped

All items received and works like a charm. Dongle comes with short 3.5mm cable but I use a 3.5m to RCA for my stereo. Love playing music from iphone or ipad while laying on couch or in bed.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/170938766...1439.l2649

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271003017...1439.l2649

Yes, it connects through Bluetooth, which the iphone 5 has.

BAH it's out of stock for the auto... oh well.

broken links.


I ordered a trimmer from Daily Steals on 11/23, shipping label created on the 5th but nothing simce then.

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).

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.

Edit. i suppose it you be slick if you could hard wire it into your cars stereo and power in glove box or under dash

Anybody know if one of these will auto connect?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth...2578baa4d8

seems perfect to stash in the center console where the aux in and power outlet is located.

I have one of these and it does auto connect with my iPhone, but only if it is not in a continuously powered socket. I have it in my car (plugged into a cigarette lighter USB adaptor) and it will auto connect as I turn on the ignition. I did switch it to a rental car once that had a continually powered socket (ie. it didn't go off when I turned off the car) and it did NOT auto connect in that case.

Saying that - I am buying this one because I get some cyloning and static. I'm hoping this one has better sound quality.

Belkin Alternative..
 

I went with this one from Belkin - $19.99 Currently

http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F8Z4...=F8Z492TTP

It is Belkin and seems to have good reviews. It also comes with several cables for connections. I wanted to get the XtremeMac, but I am a bit wary given the number of reviews on the net. The Belkin seems to be a bit more popular and is smaller. However, a slight mod of removing the metal plate from inside is required to get the best range. Seems quite easy though..

WRT the Belkin, how to power it in the car?
It comes with a wall wart.

Got excited and then realized my G37 doesn't have a AUX port and only a USB plug in...

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

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.

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)

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.

edited: yuck same DAILYSTEAL on ebay lol

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

yes; just writing back to say they shipped mine today as well.

since they shipped before my deadline, i will consider buying from them again in the future.

they cut it real close tho.

Damn, auto version is sold out. Was going to try it for the price. I have a situation where I'm unsure what will happen though. My CR-Z has bluetooth handsfree for calling but no bluetooth audio streaming. It has a USB port and AUX tho for ipod or whatever. I wonder how the iphone would handle calls if it's synced to this for music.

I'm not totally sold on bluetooth audio. Heard it in a friends car lately we switched from BT to USB and the sound difference is severe. ..but I'd give a shot for 15 bucks.

I was just looking at this the other day and almost pulled the trigger for $40. Glad I waited. I just home it arrives this year... Got the auto one so I don't have to deal with cables.

Ordered this and received the Home version. Just tried it out and it skips or stutters every few seconds.

Looking at their returns it says it has to be in same condition as it was received? I opened it so it isn't in the same condition. Anyone know if I can still return this?

Received my auto version a few days ago and tried it out this morning with my IP5. Setup is pretty much a breeze, but the sound quality is abysmal. I'm getting ridiculous levels of distortion in the signal. Not sure if this is due to poor internal amp to the product, or what, but there's really nothing I can do about it. Adjusting bluetooth output volume on the iphone doesn't help, of course, since there's no distortion in that signal anyway (other than minor loss of fidelity due to AD2P protocol). Distortion is also there whether I turn my head unit (OEM BMW 135i) down or up, so it's not an amplification issue on that end.

There are no volume controls on the unit itself, so I'm about to give up on this one. The audio is really that bad. Oh well, at least it was only $15...

If youre thinking about letting it go, ill gladly buy it from you and cover shipping. Deal is over and they're out of stock

Asked for he aut one. Got the wall mount version. I was not proficient about this. Did not realize the difference :( and even trashes the box it came with. Now not sure what to do with this...
