Zio Bluetooth Music Car Receiver

Screen Shot 2015-01-16 at 4.16.21 PMThis small and effective device promises to turn your older car’s audio system into a true modern Bluetooth enabled phone calling and music center. After taking it for a test, I can vouch that it certainly delivers on its promise.

Pairing of this device with your smartphone is fairly straightforward. You just turn it in initially and look for it under the Bluetooth menu of your smartphone. I was able to connect it to both Android and iPhone smartphones.

The audio quality of the music that I was listening to was very satisfactory. You will not be able to get the highest quality audio from any Bluetooth receiver, no matter how advanced, but within the limits of this transmission standard this small receiver performed admirably. I’ve used it to listen to both the classical and modern radio stations on Pandora, and thoroughly enjoyed e experience.

Of course, one of the main features of this Bluetooth receiver, is its ability to turn your car’s audio system into a hands-free speakerphone. This feature worked as advertised, but I’ll admit that I am not a big fan of Bluetooth headsets to begin with, so I don’t anticipate to be using this device for that purpose a whole lot.

One of the main selling points of this set is that it includes a nice little USB car charger. So even when you are not using this receiver you still have a convenient charger that can help you with your other small electronic devices.
