L5hunter Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I have a few concerns about the knockoff bluetooth adapters on eBay. Ones like these: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1311.R3.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xalpine+blu.TRS0&_nkw=alpine+bluetooth+adapter&_sacat=0 It says in bold lettering on most of these listings that control of playback like play/pause or next track is not possible. This can mean only one thing: that the bluetooth adapter is using a cheap internal DAC to convert the Bluetooth signal into a aux input, essentially. Am I correct in assuming this? If so, I imagine the quality of them is pretty terrible. Anyone have any experience with these? Current "budget" setup Car: 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 bone stock other than some pimpin wheels.

Yeah yeah, I'm not expecting much either. Just seeing if anyone had any positive or negative impressions. I could buy 5 of these for the price of the poorly-reviewed and hard-to-find KCE-400bt or it's sister models. Current "budget" setup Car: 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 bone stock other than some pimpin wheels.
