Upgrade Your Vehicle With a Bluetooth Aux Adapter
If you want to upgrade the musical experience of your vehicle, a Bluetooth auxiliary adapter is for you. Browse through the wide array of affordably priced Bluetooth aux adapters on eBay to find just the right device to meet your needs. Here is some basic information about Bluetooth aux adapters to help with your purchasing decisions.
Can you add Bluetooth to an older model car?If you would like to add Bluetooth to your older model car or truck, there are several ways you can accomplish this, such as by upgrading the entire stereo system in your vehicle. The most inexpensive way is to add a Bluetooth auxiliary adapter. Bluetooth auxiliary adapters are made to plug into various car stereo ports to accommodate your specific needs. These ports include the following:
- Standard auxiliary port
- Cigarette lighter port
- USB port
From either end of the aux cord, you have options. In addition to the versatility of port options on the adapters, Bluetooth auxiliary adapters also have a huge variety of optional audio device compatibility depending on which specific adapter you choose. The most common devices used with Bluetooth adapters are the following:
- Smartphone
- MP3 or MP4
- Streaming FM channels
- SD cards
On eBay, you can find anything from the most standard Bluetooth auxiliary adapters to top of the line models packed full of advanced features. Some of the optional features available on select Bluetooth auxiliary adapters allow you to live stream FM frequencies and even make hands-free calls through your car's stereo system. Many adapters with hands-free calling also feature echo cancellation, so those calls don't sound like you're talking through a tunnel as is common with speakerphone conversations. Optional, large LED screen adapters allow you to view incoming calls, music volume, the title of the song playing, and even the battery voltage level of your car.
Do Bluetooth aux adapters drain your car battery?Auxiliary technology in and of itself uses absolutely no electricity, so it will not drain your car battery at all. Bluetooth technology does require some power to run, but it is very minimal and usually comes from the source of the Bluetooth signal itself. The majority of power that your sound system requires when using Bluetooth auxiliary adapters comes from the use of your speakers, subwoofers, or amps that would be using electricity from your car battery regardless of them being connected to your car stereo or a Bluetooth source. Many Bluetooth auxiliary adapters do have LED lights to indicate charging levels, incoming calls, and other types of notifications. Most adapters either come with an easy-to-change battery or an adapter port that collects power from the car battery although it is very little. The majority of adapters can be left plugged into your car without affecting your battery voltage level.
