iClever Himbox HB01 Bluetooth Car Receiver, Wireless Hands-free Car Kit with Built-in Mic, Dual USB Car Charger & Magnetic Base, Echo and Noise Reduction, Multi-Point Access, 3.5mm Aux Cable

What a great little device this is !I previously owned a 2005 BMW 5 series which had no auxiliary input and the only solution for me was to spend £350 having a Dension blue-tooth kit fitted in into the fibre optic audio system in order for me to be able to stream music to the stereo. Having ditched the BMW for a Range Rover Sport 2007 I was looking for a solution to the same problem as the RR does not do music blue-tooth connection. I found the Himbox and read the reviews and as the RR has an auxiliary input at the rear of the centre console I figured for under £25 I would give this a whirl. My one concern was whether the lead would be long enough for me to actually mount the control "pebble" on the dash. I plugged it all in which to all of 5 seconds, started up the car, paired to my phone in no time at all and away I went happily streaming my tunes.Another concern I had was whether there was going to be engine interference due to this type of connection (aux) and if there was going to be that annoying electrical "whizz" as the engine change revs coming over the speakers. While there is a minor amount of white noise when no music is playing (very minimal) it does not change pitch and there is none during music playback. Talking of music playback the audio quality is just great.The "pebble" auto connects each time I start the car up and if blue-tooth is already turned on on the phone I get a satisfying "Your device is connected" from a very soothing, non robotic, female voice. The pebble glows a steady muted blue colour when connected which is not glaring at all at night. After having the kit fitted for a little while just hanging loose in the car I decided to try and fit it properly for a neat fit. I am glad to say that, for my car anyway, the lead was just about long enough for me to hide the cable in the trim along the centre and upper console and mount the control pebble on the dash. I've made a couple of calls using the Himbox and those I have spoken to have said that the audio is very clear and multiple people speaking within the car at the same time can be heard without problem with no echo or other issues reported.In closing, for under £25 this is a great, inexpensive solution to my problem and the addition of 2x extra USB ports in the supplied charger for people in the rear of the car to use is a bonus. This product is well worth a punt.

The iClever Himbox is an absolutely fantastic product! The audio quality is fantastic and the inclusion of the three buttons (multi-function and skip forward and back) onto the control and mic unit works very well and makes changing tracks whilst driving much easier that when using a standard AUX cable. The sound quality of the output from this device is fantastic, especially considering it is being passed over bluetooth, and the delay from pressing play (or the multifunction button) and actually hearing music is minimal. The unit interrupts music when you receive a call and it's again very handy to be able to accept it with just a single press. This is made even better by the fact the magnetic plate allows you to position the device very close to where your hands would be on the steering wheel. I was even able to hide the cables within my cars trim! The call quality is also much better than other handsfree solutions I have tried (excluding headsets). People on the other end do sometimes complain that it is difficult to hear me, especially when driving at high speeds, but this is to be expected I suppose.I actually purchased this after having tried the Belkin equivalent, which I must say was absolutely abysmal. If you are considering purchasing this product my review is available here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-reviews/RRFGJN36SH8QT/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B004FNYQZ8. This product doesn't even compare!My only complaint would be that as my car socket is always on (i.e. power remains even when the key is removed from the ignition) that the auto connect feature doesn't work properly for me. If I move further than about 10 meters from my car, my phone disconnects and doesn't connect automatically upon my return. However I have been able to work around this issue by simply pulling the power adaptor out of the socket just enough to stop power running to it, which has the effect of turning the unit off. That way, when I return to the car, all I have to do is push the adaptor in and the unit turns on and connects automatically to my device.Bottom line: If you are considering purchasing an item such as this, I would save time looking around and just buy this one! It's a great little unit!

Product gives extremely clear audio. You get some electronic feedback from the usb power, this is common when using a cig lighter power point and aux. Purchased a bypass on eBay and works great. Only issue, the main button no longer presses so cannot answer calls or pause tracks which is pretty disappointing.
