## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug & play heaven!!!
*by P***  on 2 October 2020*

I love products like these, that genuinely solves a problem and does so in the easiest and proper way possible. My 2001 e46 has a tape deck up front and a 6cd changer in the book, neither of which I or anyone uses these days. I'm an avid user of Spotify for my music and Waze for navigation, which in itself is nicely integrated. I only foresaw two option to get the audio from my phone to the car; change the head unit to a Bluetooth one or use an FM transmitter. Both options had their problems.1. The head unit would've been ideal but if I was going to do it, I was going to do it properly, which to me meant installing a double din android OEM looking head unit (£250-£350) that can load up car play to use with my iPhone. But with that came additional costs like the double din repositioning bracket to move the AC controls down which costs like £135. Plus I'd have wanted to wire up a rear camera and dashcam at the same time, so a lot more time, effort and money would've been needed. As much as I would've loved carplay, I just couldn't justify spending ¼ of the price I paid for the car just on the head unit when I could spend that money elsewhere on the car to make sure that it's running smoothly mechanically.2. So an FM transmitter seemed like the ideal option then. Lots of fancy and funky ones on here ranging from £10-20. BUT I really didn't like their functionality. There would always be that ugly thing plugged into my 12v socket. I prefer my interior to be as clean and clutter-free as possible. Also, I wanted to be able to use the steering wheel functions to control music, skip tracks and answer calls etc.So I began thinking about and questioning my options. I knew there was a cheap AUX adapter that you can plug into the back of the head unit to get AUX input. But again, I'd have preferred to use Bluetooth and be wireless and have less clutter (I only charge my phone on long journeys in the car). I also knew you could get Bluetooth adapter that can plug into an AUX input to make the speakers wireless, i.e like an old bookshelf speaker. But again this had the issue of powering the Bluetooth adapter using the 12v socket. I went through all this to think "I'm sure someone must've thought of this and made a Bluetooth adapter that can plug directly into the head unit just like the AUX adapter", which led me to randomly google "e46 Bluetooth adapter" and the rest is history!! Moral of the story is to ask the internet your questions because it's very likely that a whole lot of people have also had the same problems and has most likely resolved it already for you to know and use. So a big shout to BlueSpeak, thank you!!I hope you understand how much I appreciate this product by the size of this review. You guys have saved me a lot of time, a lot of money, all the while still giving me all the functionalities I wanted.I'd say it's fairly simple to install. The instruction manual isn't the most helpful but there's plenty of videos on youtube that'll visually show to do each part. The only thing I'd note is that there's isn't enough space behind the head unit itself for the original harness and this to sit so you will either have to route the cables underneath the head unit and behind the AC controls or above the head unit and below the centre vents. I went with the underneath route and routed my mic cable through behind the trim to the back of the head unit for the cleanest look. Although a bit fiddley, it worked like a charm. I tested everything before securing the screws and putting the trim back. Bluetooth paired to my phone easily (no passcode), audio played, steering functions worked, mic worked. At first, the audio only came from the speakers in the back and there was static noise so I took out just the bottom part of the harness cable going into the head unit (the wire that sends the signal from the Bluetooth adapter to the head unit) and switched it around which solved that restored crystal clear audio. So note that the direction that connection goes into matters and if you have the same issue, double-check that first. I only knew that straight away as I had seen the same thing on the youtube tutorial I watched.Now, I hope this has been able to help someone who's debating purchasing this product or someone who's unsure about fitting it themselves. I would recommend 100%, no complaints, no issues, simply plug & play!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great device works well and easy install!
*by S***N on 26 February 2025*

Great device really easy to set up and works really well. Turn the key and instantly connects and is ready to play. Also some people say you can’t have the bracket in because of how big the adapter is but I took the top vents out so I could push the wires into the left so I could still keep the bracket.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems to work BUT I had an issue
*by S***S on 19 December 2023*

Purchased to add bluetooth to a factory Business CD unit on my 2004 E46 BMW. It plugs in the back of the headunit and mimics a CD changer which is optionally installed in the boot of some BMW's. As a result you need to select CD on the headunit for it to function. Easy to install, bluetooth connects as expected, music and phone calls work as expected, sound quality is good. Steering wheel buttons work as described.I had an issue where after a few minutes the headunit would display "no magazine" error and would switch back to FM radio automatically. No matter what I did I could not get the unit to stay in CD mode and not switch back to radio. I have contacted the seller who verified that it was installed properly. I also returned it and received an exchange unit thinking that it was faulty but the problem was still there and I couldn't get it to work. No other reviews mention this and the manufacturer was not aware of such problem so it seems this is something specific to my particular car or headunit.
