Does Himbox connect directly without having to push a button each time you get in the car?

The device always pairs with my iPhone 5s as soon as I power it up. No button press needed.

I don't know if this is true for all cars, but in my case, no. However, pushing the button really isn't a big deal: just push the center once and you're instantly connected (after you've already connected Himbox with your device for the first time of course).

There is not one that comes with it. Most cars made these days have sound systems that can play off of iPods and iPhones so there's no need to allow the speaker itself to connect.

The product has a sensor that will connect automatically upon re-entering the car. The device will say "attempting to connect" when you open the door or unlock the door to get in. Then - it will connect and say "connected". The device will go to 'sleep' after leaving the car. The only thing to watch for that if your car is very close to where you are with the phone - it will stay connected within a certain range...but you can always turn Bluetooth off on your phone.

YES, this system as I have it connected does take a second or 2 to respond after the "Skylink" clicker button is pushed. Occasionally the 2000 Lexus RX300 built in visor button does not activate the box, but this may be a glitch with the vehicle transmitter, not the "Skylink". The "Skylink" clickers always get a response from the receiver within a second or 2. They have been wonderful so far. I did add about 8 feet of wire to the antenna "tail" hanging from the receiver box and that increased the range significantly. But yes, there will be a delay. I think ANY system will have a delay. Adding components/relays/ will increase the delay.

It works and is great to use inside when the connection for a car is not convenient!

I have not tried it this way. I have it on a speaker in my home to connect it via bluetooth. I have a bluetooth mechanism that is specifically for the car that has a plug that goes into the auxiliary outlet of the car.

Yes. If you buy BOTH a car kit and the home kit (you'll need to buy one separately, not with another receiver) and install both, you can then move the unit between the car and your home. The receiver plugs into either of their docks.

Yes. It turns on and automatically connects to the phone when you start your car.

Unfortunately, no. You have to push the button to activate and inactivate, which is annoying.

Yes it does, this is how I am using it in my car. Also it auto pairs (unlike other devices).

To the best of my knowledge, it does not. Just a USB port that powers it and allows data transfers (updates). I will carefully double check, however, next time I drive my car.

I don't think so, It gets confused when my car tries to log onto my phone and the phone ttys this. It works well by it self, though, kind if a cheap way to avoid upgrading everything to an iPhone 5 interface.

No, that is a button that ejects the screen. The port on the back can be routed via USB cable into you glove box.

Its all through the device. My husband and I both have one in our cars. My daughter has one as well. It is so easy to set up and use. The easiest I have ever purchased. Love it.

for us is not. once I try to initiate a call from my car it says the phone is not connected. i first need to press 'yes' to the question that my phone asks whether to connect with my car. if i want to use it in my car i need to open my phone first to connect it with the car every time.

Yes... I installed a new mother board on the garage unit last year. When I bought my new, used 2011 car I was able to connect so I just push the button on the rearview mirror to open the garage.
