If you’ve ever wanted to play music and phone calls through your car’s speaker, the good news is that your car doesn’t need to have built-in Bluetooth. Connecting your phone to your car via an auxiliary cord still works, but it’s not always ideal. . Also, with rumors swirling around that future iPhones won’t have a headphone jack (and at the time of reading this, that day may have arrived), even the extra cord option has become a thing of the past. past.

What you need is a car Bluetooth adapter. This provides a means for your car to receive a Bluetooth signal and then transmit that signal directly to your speakers. There are several different options for the type of car adapter you might want.
Wired Bluetooth Adapter
A wired Bluetooth adapter mounts somewhere on your console, wherever you decide, and usually has a few controls along with a built-in microphone. The microphone is for calls or voice control and the buttons for making/receiving calls and playback, so the adapter should be within reach.

An extra cord plugs into your car’s 3.5mm audio port, while another included USB cord plugs into your car’s power source.
Extra cards and USBs are always plugged in so they are constantly drawing power while you’re driving. As such, the wired Bluetooth adapter never needs to be charged.
Tip:
You can buy a solid car Bluetooth adapter for no more than $50, and some are often much cheaper. Recommended is the Belkin car Bluetooth kit which is currently on sale for $48 on Amazon. It also features multi-device pairing so you can connect two smartphones and switch between them. More affordable options are SoundBot’s car kit for just $17 on Amazon or Anker’s SoundSync Drive for $18. The former two include traditional car chargers.
Wireless Bluetooth Receiver
If you just want to charge your Bluetooth adapter separately so that cables don’t get squished through your car’s dashboard, wireless options are also available, often for the same price as wired or cheaper.

Wireless Bluetooth receivers plug into your aux port like a wired receiver and essentially dangle out of that port when they run out of battery. Just plug your power in, turn it on and you’re good to go. These are less obvious, but need to be recharged. Most tend to get between 5 and 10 hours on a single charge.
Tip: One downside is that wireless tuners often don’t have a built-in microphone, so making phone calls isn’t ideal.
Most of them are charged via a micro-USB cable. If you have an Android phone, then you probably have a lot lying around. But even if you don’t and your car has a USB port, you can charge the receiver directly from your car without having to bring it inside the car.
A solid Amazon pick is the best-selling Mpow Streambot for $16 with 10 hours of use, 120 hours of standby, and 1.5 hours to fully charge. Another popular alternative is the Mediabridge Bluetooth Bullet for $20, although it only has five hours of battery life.
