Tihebeyan Bluetooth Adapter Bluetooth Music Audio Receiver for 30pin-Enabled Sounddock Dock Apple Speaker(Black)

I bought a Sony Bookshelf Stereo System that had an original 30 pin iPod dock for my Second Gen iPod Touch. After a few years my iPod pooped out, well after cracking the screen and dropping it in water, etc. Only way to listen to music other than AM/FM and CD's was to use the 3mm jack. And if you had a bad cable, it would sound terrible. SO I found this and thought I would give it a try. It works good enough to give my stereo new life, and bring it into the 2010's, LOL, as I bought it in 2020.

Works as described

Apple went from the 30 pin socket to the lightning socket obsoleting docks, boom boxes and car stereos that commonly used the legacy socket. A way to connect the lightning device to the older 30 pin is needed and the wired adapter was first tried. That works some places, not others and it needs to have the case removed from iphone to allow the adapter to seat. What if there were a way to connect the 30 pin device to the newer iPhone wirelessly?Well that is what this Blutooth adapter promises to do! Just plug it into your boom box, dock, car stereo and automatically pair with your Blutooth iPhone and play your music just aS you did before! This one came without any instructions, just a plastic envelope. It was mechanically difficult to plug into the dock receptacle because the socket was pushed against the case of the blutooth device. When plugged in it immediately powered up as shown by the very tiny blu light. Blinking indicated it was searching and a chime in the Car Stereo indicated it was connected to the Stereo. It shows as "iPhone dock" in the phones' blutooth list and linked easily, indicated by another chime and "connected" in the phones list. Pressing "play", first thing noticed is the music playing at low volume. This can be helped by identifying the Adapter as a Stereo, not headphone, but it is still a weaker output so the stereo ;has to be turned way up. Played nicely with good fidelity. But, after a few minutes, a high pitched whistle could be heard in the background, then a buzz as well. Probably wouldn't notice it with music turned up high, but for a speech or a movie, it gets annoying real fast. Then, later, had a lot of trouble getting it to link again. For these reasons, I can't recommend it . Returning it today.

Works great.

Compré este producto para un Soundock Bose pero no pude utilizar! Pues, ninguno de mis moviles reconoce el Bluetooth de este producto. Necesito me cambien el equipo o devuelvan el dinero por favor.

Didn’t work at all

Not good

I bought a used car with an aftermarket Sony headunit. It had an ipod cable for 30 pin but no bluetooth. I was able to purchase this product and attach it to my 30 pin ipod dock cable and now my headunit has bluetooth. This receiver works every time and plays good quality. I would highly recommend this product especially for the price. 5/5
