## Description

Kinivo Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit (BTC450) : desertcart.in: Electronics

Review: Best Bluetooth Handsfree Indeed. - Installation: Easy to install. Open it, Fix the 3M tape and Paste the Multifunctional switch over it. Insert the cable in Aux input and another in 12V power outlet. Operation: This was one such unit where i have not read the manual and went ahead by pairing the phone by switching on the bluetooth. Remember to power on the car such that 12V cigarette lighter gets the power which turns on the multifunctional switch. The unit will be displayed as new device into your phone and then just click it. The unit will get paired and you will hear click sound. So simple. In order to test the unit, now call your paired phone from another phone. The phone will start ringing and you will also hear a beep sound from multifunctional switch. Now click the multifunctional switch by pressing it, the call will get connected. The caller voice can be heard through the car speaker (wow effect) yes !! Car speaker (i said). As you speak to the caller, your voice will be picked by the microphone situated at the multifunctional switch and to the caller it would be really difficult to identify that you were speaking using bluetooth handsfree, the call quality is so clear and mic is so good. I tested the mic sensitivity where in multifunctional switch was installed near my VW Polo cigarette lighter so that it stays hidden from everyone eyes but should work and to my surprise it work perfectly like charm. My voice was picked while i was sitting on driving seat and it was also picked perfectly from the back seat (as if i was on driver seat) No distortion or echo was heard at the caller end. I tested this myself by acting as caller and asking my friend to sit in the car driver seat and rear seat. Conclusion: The unit microphone is so sensitive and clear that you can place it anywhere (i would say hide it anywhere) and still your voice will be picked as if you are talking on the phone. Tested the music stream function and it worked great as well. Overall: Very much satisfied with the unit. My sole purpose to gets handsfree and hear caller voice from my car speaker got solved. Also i was able to keep the multifunctional switch near the cigarette lighter such that it stays in my reach and remains somewhat hidden :) Works great ...definitely recommended to everyone.
Review: Better Bluetooth kits available on desertcart - Bought this device more than a year back Installation is easy and takes barely 3-4 minutes ------------------------------------------------------------- PROS: 1) USB port included in the kit. 2) Bluetooth compatible with iPhone(including iPhone 7plus ) and android phones. 3) cute little device and sticks well on the dashboard. (Using it since 1 year but has never come out ). ------------------------------------------------------------- CONS: 1) aux input jack is weird and there is a constant disturbance in the background in low volume and at times even at high volume. Because of the faulty aux jacket using the device becomes difficult. 2) connecting to Bluetooth is troublesome and I had issues in connecting this to my iPhone a number of times. 3) talking to people via the device is not that great . 4) cheap quality for this price. 5) music sound quality is not good. ------------------------------------------------------------- CONCLUSION: I DO NOT recommend this Bluetooth device for your car because it is not worth the price you are paying for and much better devices are available on desertcart for the same price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you launch Google Now via the button and give voice commands through the microphone? It's ok if this requires some apps/settings on the phone.**
A: As per prior answers, you can set this up.  I did this on a GS4 running lollipop.  In Google Now settings, under Voice, enable Bluetooth headset to record audio.  I use Google Play music, and didn't change anything there.  With music playing, press the button once, this pauses the music.  Then hold the button down until it beeps, you have to turn the phone back on to enable the bluetooth device to activate Google Now (from notifications).  Repeat the process, now you can activate Google Now voice input with the screen off with the long-press (remembering to pause music with the initial press).  I did have a project to enable my BMW BT, but I don't see the point now.  The combo of the BTC450, Google Play Music and Google Now beats what my car would be able to do.

**Q: How long is the wire from the BT button end to the power unit/aux ends?**
A: Dear John,Thank you for your question regarding our Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit. The aux cable and power cable lengths are 11.5 inches and the overall length is 48.5 inches.Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.

**Q: If I'm listening to the radio (not through the phone) and I get an incoming call will my phone still make a ringing sound?**
A: Dear Jeff,
Thank you for your question regarding the BTC450 Car Kit.  Whenever you are listening to your car radio (AM/FM), the ringing will not be heard. The car music system has to be set to "AUX" for the ringing to be heard through the car.

Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.

**Q: If  I have the device connected to power via the cigarette lighter, does it automatically turn on and off when the car turns on and off?**
A: Dear Customer, Thank you for your question in regards to our BTC450 Car Kit. As other users have mentioned, most cars will power off their cigarette lighter port when the car is shut off. This will power off BTC450 as well.We hope this answers your questions. Thank you,Kinivo Product SupportEmail : support@kinivo.comLive chat : http://support.kinivo.com | Mon-Fri: 9AM - 5PM PST

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would Definitely Recommend
*by N***R on 14 May 2019*

Initially, I received a defective product, which wouldn't turn on, Amazon promptly replaced it. Since then, I have been using this product for almost a month now, in my car. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product. Detailed explanation: 1. Sound Quality - This product DOES NOT SUPPORT aptx, contrary to the seller's answer. That's not to say that the sound quality is bad, in fact, that's not the case at all. If I give 10 points to a good quality aux wire (I was using a Boat Aux Cable before this), I would give this a solid 9. One issue I faced was that for my main phone (Samsung Galaxy S7), the audio volume was sufficient, but for another phone that I connected to it (OnePlus 3T), the volume dropped significantly, and I had to turn the volume up by 3 times, on my audio system! 2. Bluetooth Connectivity - When powered on the first time, it connects to the last connected device in under 2 seconds. But the issue comes when you restart the car engine. The device apparently goes into standby mode, and you have to power it on by pressing the main button. From there it continues smoothly, it connects to your device again quickly, then you need to press the main button once more to resume audio playback. Haven't tried during a call though. 3. Call quality - I had no issues here, the person on the other end of the lead ne could hear me clearly and I was able to hear them just fine, too. Some reviews have been complaining about having to turn up the volume for calls, I didn't face this issue. 4. Build quality - This little device is well built, it has been tolerating the intense sunlight and heat of Indian summers, in my car, which is parked out under the sun the whole day. The buttons' feedback is good and everything feels well put together. The only niggle I have is that the device is not perfectly synced with the size of the adhesive base, and wiggles around a bit. This adds a bit of cheap factor, not a deal breaker though. The adhesive tape is 3M manufactured. 5. Price - I think for around 1.6k, the price is justified for the added convenience. Additionally, you get a decent car charger in the box. So, I would recommend that you pick yours, today :)
