Dont you have to take it inside and charge it every omce in awhile?
Base on some reviews online, you cant. Because the charging port is too low when the cassette is inserted. You can always bring it inside to charge. Should last throughout your drive time. I am still debating. Judging from amazon reviews, there are a few small downside. Bluetooth re-pairing, it doesnt auto pair each time you turn the car on. U must manually push the button on the cassette to pair (Hass, please correct me if im wtong on this). Require recgarge. Cant charge while being use. No mic. Cant use hand free calling (may nit be issue for others). Built in battery may not be as good down the road.
Now these are all base on reviews from users on amazon. Actual experience may differ.
On the other hand, it look cleaner. No extra wire hanging all over the place. Work as intended. If you dont need hand free calling or just put your phone on your lap when needed.
BTL3.0, it's $40.. Trust us, it's $40 well spent. Believe me, you will thank us. Radio Shack also has a liberal 30-day return policy if you don't like it. I don't drive my NSX everyday but the times I've used this, it has worked perfectly for my needs (which only included listening to a few of my favorite playlists on my iTouch). The iTouch goes in the ashtray, and if I REALLY need to answer a call while driving I have my LG HBS700 bluetooth headphones I keep in the center console.
Update. These things are awesome!!! I ran a test to see how long this thing could go without charging... I've had mine in my car for over three weeks now without charging and it still works..
Obviously I don't drive it every day or for very long, but nice to see...
The sound quality from CD to this thing is very minimal and depending on the download it is unnoticeable .....
Best $40 bucks I've spent in a long time.....:smile:
Hey 91 X - You bought the Radio Shack model, right? If so, I am curious if the Ion has the same level of build quality and an inexpensive alternative.
Anybody buy the ION yet?
