Default Cheap, good quality Bluetooth adapter for HU850 etcs

I've just fitted this which i bought a week or so ago.https://www.ebay.de/itm/264446441173

I had previously had an aux in cable plugged into the 10 disc changer slot but this is a lot more convenient, and turns android auto on my phone as soon as I get in the car with spotify etcs all ready to go.

Plugs straight into 10cd changer (round) slot on back of head unit, pair it with your phone and off you go.

Sound quality is great, steering remote works to skip tracks etc.

Recommended for those who like myself, want to keep the factory 13 speaker system and amp but have better connectivity.

Edit
Forgot to add, yes it comes from Germany but I'm in the UK and it took less than a week to get here!

If you mount your phone on dash you can as it uses phone microphone, but it doesn't have its own.

Would sound muffled if your phone is in your pocket etcs.

I have just bought and installed this, based on your reccomendation, and am glad I did. Only limited testing, but sounds nice and bloody easy to install. Took about 5 days to arrive from Germany. Thank you. Steering wheel controls are a great bonus.

I was going to get the version with a bluetooth microphone, but for the number of calls i get, though i'd save the bother of positioning the mic and just shout at the phone.

Previously i bought the Yatour, which had (seemingly unresolvable) issues with engine interfearance.

Recommended, they are available on Amazon too

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07VYTXR34/

This version has the mic for phone calls, which you can accept with the >> button on the steering wheel.

I have the MKi9200 Parrot setup, this accepts a wide range of media, including my Echo Auto using an aux 2.5mm (i think it is) socket. The only thing that lets it down is that anything played through the parrot does not use the center dolby prologic speaker, it does bug me a little. So, my question is, can this device use my phone and echo auto at the same time?

It has no physical ports so wouldn't accept any other input than Bluetooth.

Now that is a good find! Gotta be worth a try for £35 I reckon
