My car has dvd player and Bluetooth calls even built in MP3 hard drive and sat na e , but no Bluetooth music audio so I ordered one for my car maybe 2nd for my truck

Hi new subscriber here. I have a few questions. My car has no aux port. I do have a stock car stereo that has Bluetooth. I use this to connect my phone to the stereo to play audio via the Bluetooth through the car speakers. I noticed this device has a power cord with two USB ports that connects to the cigarette lighter port. What I really want to know, if I use use the 3.5 cable to connect to one of the USB ports on the power cord via a USB aux adapter, will I hear the audio via the car speakers? The adapter i am looking at getting is the DUKABEL USB to 3.5mm Jack Audio Adapter. The idea is to use this adapter and connect it to one of the USB on the power cord and have the 3.5mm cable connected to the aux. My last question is, will the mirror mode work with my phone via Bluetooth, that way the audio comes from the car speakers since it is also connected to the car stereo? I apologize if I am confusing you lol. Thanks!

So easy answer is for the wireless android auto is yes, it connects via Bluetooth/wifi magic. For the audio for usb to 3.5mm jack…. Good question and can’t confirm that one to be honest with you. You technically can have it transmit via FM radio to your speakers, which may be an option.

@@JamesMontemagno Thank you for answering my concerns! 👍

I have a dash cam and the micro sd reader is perfect for watching back the video without having to take the sd card inside to my computer lol

[@ramcholan2034]

what operating system is that?

[@JamesMontemagno]

Probably some custom Linux thing that they built to support the different features

[@TheMan-si4iu]

Windows CE
