Cigarette Lighter Bluetooth Audio Receiver

... from having to get two cigarette lighter adapters for my car

I use the Aluratek ABC02F Universal Bluetooth Audio Receiver and Transmitter connected to the Optical Audio output on my Sony TV. It pairs with a set of Sony Bluetooth earbuds to provide a separate channel for audio for my aging ears while the TV's audio continues to function independently for the rest of the family. The optical connection to the TV was simple and the ABC02F paired quickly and easily to the Sony Earbuds. The ABC02F is plugged into a USB port on the TV and is always on so the earbuds are reconnected within the time it takes to remove them from their charger/case and insert them into the ear.

I have an older truck with no USB Ports, only the old fashioned cigarette lighter. This little device allows me to charge phones etc.. in my vehicle.

I can finally run my 22 monitors in the field. And the Cigarette Lighter adapter allows me to power my lights or recharge my batteries.

The item is compact and snugly fits to the car cigarette lighter socket. There is little extrusion once plugged in so it is also a bit 'difficult' to unplug (i.e. remove) which requires a bit of finger power. Tried to use both USB outlets to charge two devices simultaneously. There is no problem. One needs to know that this charger does not charge if the car is not turned on.

If you do not want to tether your Nikon Coolpix P1000 to a charger, get one of these. Also can be used with a car cigarette lighter jack and comes with a European plug adapter.

I was using an inexpensive receiver and did not know I was missing so much in the Audio Spectrum. Now everything is top notch! The answer to my Bluetooth Problems.

Interface is simple and basic. Advanced settings are not available in the OSD so you have to use the receiver's. Audio over Bluetooth is good but is not recommended if you care about sound quality (default codec is SBC, AAC if you pair from the phone directly) . You can manually config your audio setup but configurations are not that advanced. Build quality is excellent, didn't expect the price.

I used this box to interface an on-stage Bluetooth audio receiver to the sound system at a week-long conference. It worked great and didn't have any issues!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little Bluetooth adapter to connect to my audio system. Although my receiver has built-in Bluetooth, it is very finicky to connect to. This unit solved the problem. I like that it has an optical cable connector to make the connection to my receiver.
