" ... This Bluetooth Adapter for "Audi" is fine is you want to reinstall it every day. ... "
" ... When I go to the gym I have to not only disconnect from bluetooth but actually "forget" the device to get my headphones to work or it will constantly override them and turn them off thinking I am in my car (even when I select "disconnect from BT" upon arriving, it just keeps auto-connecting). ... "

" ... (Basically the same as the Nano without actual song information so no complaints), and operated using my steering wheel's controls. ... "
" ... It's a little quirky with the steering wheel controls--starts playlists from the beginning when you first press the forward button but works fine after that point. ... "
" ... Works like a charm with my Galaxy S8, and I can control the music with the car (from the radio itself and from the steering wheel controls). ... I guess the only shortcoming is that song/artist/album info doesn't display, but that's probably unavoidable. ... "
" ... So easy to set up, immediately started playing my music, yes it shows your song title and artist on the screen. ... "
" ... It also works well in my Tiguan which doesn have the aux and MDI input, and I can see the songs on my screen, and the sound is great. ... "
" ... I can easily control the music selection via the Audi AMI, no need to use your phone. ... "
" ... As soon as I press pause it resumes playing a few seconds later. ... "
" ... Song info and steering wheel controls work as if straight from factory. ... "

" ... I would update the playlists every now and then using iTunes. ... However, once I started using streaming music services like Apple Music / Spotify, I was no longer able to transfer music to the device. ... "
" ... The music sounds much clearer streamed from the iPhone than it did from my Android (Google Pixel) which had a tinny sound to it and and was not as crisp. ... "
" ... Audi is very Apple friendly, but not so much with Android. ... "
" ... When navigation software or radar alerts or anything important also play on your phone? ... I don't know how much of that is done by Coolstream and how much is done, or enabled, by my Android music app (dbPowerAmp, a great app that has many settings for music interrupt/resume, etc.) ... "
" ... So, I tried buying an old iPod on eBay, downloaded some free live music from the web, but quality of those recordings was bad and the iPod frequently disconnected from the MMI interface, and I didn't really have the music I wanted to listen to anyway. ... "
" ... It lets you see the songs you are playing, plus your folders for artists, playlists, podcasts, etc. ... "
" ... - GPS sounds from google maps or whatever will play through this device as well (as lease on android) ... "
" ... Google Maps verbal instruction and phone call comes through just fine even when using the Coolstream to listen to music. ... "
