HOW TO ADD STREAMING MUSIC TO YOUR CAR
If your car is equipped with an Auxiliary audio input jack this solution will work for you. My car actually supports Bluetooth phone use, but did not support the A2DP Bluetooth Profile required to stream Audio. All that is required is that you have an aux input jack. You then change your car radio's input source to the aux jack, power up the Aluratek AIS01F, use your phones Bluetooth menu to connect to the Aluratek device, and then start enjoying your streaming audio or music from your cell phone. You could use it to stream any application accessible on your cell phone... like Pandora, YouTube, Navigation directions from Google Maps, or Mapquest, or just enjoy your MP3 collection on your phone via your car speakers. I use this in my Buick Regal to stream music and android trapster or google navigation information. It works great!
This unit includes a rechargeable battery so you can use it for portable applications... you can essentially plug this device into any speaker that has an input jack and make any speaker Bluetooth accessible. Personally I combined this unit with a USB car charger like the Energizer car charger you see above. Alternatively you could purchase or utilize a USB wall charger for your house, and use the built in rechargeable battery to supply your power when using it in your car.
NOTE: If you need Bluetooth Phone and Streaming Music/Audio (A2DP), and a solution that works even if you do not have an auxiliary input jack... click here.
