CHOOCL Bluetooth Car Audio Adapter for 2008-2012 Mercedes-Benz with AMI Port, Bluetooth Transmitter with aptX-HD Sound & AMI Cable

I have a 2010 Mercedes e350. I am the original owner. I love my car and have kept it in near showroom condition. My only issue with “my precious” is lack of music streaming from my phone. I have tried MANY solutions over the years, but none worked satisfactorily—until now. This product works flawlessly (so far), so long as you follow the included easy to understand instructions (took me two tries to set up because I did not read carefully the first try). Using an iPhone 15 Pro and Apple Music app, the Command interface on my vehicle works beautifully with music I have downloaded to my phone. THIS IS KEY—in order to reliably use your car’s Command interface to control music streaming, as well as to see the title and artist of the current track, search and select album names, playlist titles and contents, etc., it appears you must have the music you want to play saved on your phone (my phone has lots of storage, so no problem here), similar to an iPod of yesteryear. However, I can also stream other music from Apple Music and from Pandora (I don’t use Spotify, etc., though I assume those other apps would work similarly), but without the Command interface functionality. In other words, streaming music not saved to your phone, i.e., from apps, is controlled from your phone. Thus far, the sound quality has been EXCELLENT—better than my car’s CD player—the Bluetooth connection remains strong and the music is never (so far) interrupted by signal issues! (If you have tried other solutions, you will appreciate why this is a big deal.) I could not be more pleased with a product! Highly recommended. 👍🏻 P.S. My only question is how much power this device draws when not in use? Should I unplug it when not using my car for awhile so as not to drain my car battery? It appears to remain on even when the car is not in use.

It works great! Never thought I could get Sirius upper channels on my 2012 SL550. Saw a post on Facebook when Sirius moved my favorite station, Yacht Rock, back to 311. Saw someone recommend this Choocl Adapter and thought I would give it a try. Plugged it in, went to Bluetooth and it was there. Opened Sirius and instantly it worked. Next time I got in the car it immediately came on . Love it. This is a very high quality solution that solved a problem I had been told was not possible for my older car.

This was a great buy and well worth the money. I initially tried to use a generic/cheaper device which also needed a usb plug which did not work. After reading reviews I ordered this product. The steps to install are super simple and I appreciate that it auto connects as soon as I get into the car. I did read a review about leaving the device plugged for multiple days without use that caused me a bit of worry. So, when I am home for the evening or am not planning to go anywhere for a few days, I just unplug the device. When I plug it back in, it takes less than a minute for it go back online. Sound quality and ease of use are great! I have an Samsung phone and use Pandora to stream my music. I also use Google maps and directions are given through the sound system. I use both apps simultaneously without any issues. Small note: if you are planning to use wireless earbuds as soon as you exit the car, you have to be a certain distance away because it will auto-connect back to the device.

Was working fine, aside from some wackiness with the readouts on the tracklisting and play time right up until shortly after the product support window closed, for no discernable reason it just stopped being read by the car, and did test alternate pluggable adaptors to make sure it wasn't the cars hardware... will not buy again.

2011 ML350 1 week review. Plugged in and once the correct switch position was chosen on device it works as expected. Thus far I'm able to play music from streaming services. I can use controls on radio to forward to next song. radio does not display the song just that it's on a streaming service. It does try and default to apple music instead of streaming service maybe user error and would be my biggest complaint. So far I've been able to make and receive phone and appears to be seamless. I believe the phone is using the bluetooth with the radio as opposed to this device.

Works great, easy to set up and has given me zero issues with performance. Music sounds nice and clear in my 2012 Audi Q5. Well worth the price in my opinion. I am taking 1 star off because you do have to manually disconnect your device from the adapter. In my case, I often have to disconnect multiple times as if will reconnect on its own. Minor inconvenience while I work to save up money and upgrade to an Android Auto compatible radio.

Have 2014 E350, and this thing is excellent. On my navigation screen all the info pops up with the song information and everything. Sounds is excellent. CLEAR AND LOUD...

Simple and seamless installation and setup. Music starts the moment the car starts. Perfect in every way.
