does it support BT for music transfer in my car?

it does, sorta. I have connected it to my 2014 Dodge Ram 1500, 2012 Mercedes SL 63 AMG, 2011 SLS AMG, 2014 GL and my 2014 S Class. All of them... ALL. When connect, sputters, stops, plays, skips, etc. When it does work, it's a joy. It's a nice device. Needs software refinement desperately.

Do work for me, on a few cars..If you with transfer mean playing music from the AK240.Do not think you can do file copy over Bluetooth to internal storage if you have that on the music system in the car.Also its about protocol compatibility, if your car is very old, it will maybe not work (A2DP) support should the music system have.Bluetooth 4.0-compatible (A2DP, not recommended for files with sampling rates greater than 48kHz)So happy listening. :)

It only reads your cars computer functions and parameters when plugged into the obd port, has nothing to do with the radio so it won't work to stream music. You need radio with Bluetooth or an auxiliary port to stream your music from your phone

IMHO, yes. I have a Galaxy S3 which uses BT 4 technology and I'm pretty sure the radio does too. I use it for Pandora, playing music off the phone, listening to YouTube etc, sounds great to me.

Yes. You need a converter or adapter for anything besides the basic car stereo functions to work. Great Unit thou. Can connect lots of difrent gadgets to it. Not to mention the software is upgradable.

This is not necessarily a problem. If you have an Android phone, after pairing the device, you can go into Bluetooth settings for the device and uncheck the box for "Use for phone audio". Make sure the "Use for media audio" box is checked. This will allow you to still use your car's BT calling features while retaining the ability to stream media through this receiver.

If your car stereo supports bluetooth, then yes, you can use this to transmit audio from a computer to your stereo while in your car!

I don't imagine there's much difference from car-to-car. I have a 2012 Accord and the music quality is atrocious. Absolutely awful. The music comes out very tinny and warbled. I asked customer service about it and got an unhelpful answer about Bluetooth music quality being lower than wired. Do not get this item if you care about music quality.

Should be compatible with any car that has FM or Bluetooth however sound not on other person cell or house phone

Yes, it will only connect to the old iPod/iPhone connection. There are other connections that will support androids but depending on the software in your car it will not be able to display and use the iDrive knob to pick songs

No, I doubt it. Using this Bluetooth adapter would be just like physically plugging in your phone through your cars 3.5 aux mini jack. (some models or head units may allow for song /artist data to be transferred this way but I know my car won't) I put my phone in a cup holder and rely on it for song info /selection. If you were really serious I guess you could get a dash mount for your phone.

It's a receiver. I don't think the buttons on your stereo would send a signal to your phone to change the song on say, pandora, if you are using your phone to transmit the music to your car stereo aux input

If your car has an usb slot, and you correctly install your car files & download your music onto that file it should work. But just downloading music and plugging the drive in your car wouldn't do anything

Yes - although I use it just as a holder and play music through the Bluetooth function of the car.

It should work, it worked in my Cruze. It kept all of the functions I had before (bt mike, Usb music) but added streaming music. Your best bet would be to search to see if others have attempted.

no. this is fm transmitter with Bluetooth if you have a car with Bluetooth ,you don't have to buy this device

No, your car doesn't have to have bluetooth capabilities. The connection works like this:Phone to Tunelink via bluetoothTunelink to car/stereo via FM transmitter or AUX in port

Yes but the rest operates poorly. The only BT device that works with this radio is the MS-BT100. It only allows you to pause, play, FF, song display etc from your smartphone ONLY! It renders those buttons on your radio itself useless. The only thing you will be able to control from the radio face is the volume basically turning that 5" radio on your dash into nothing more than a volume button. Before this I had an iPhone 4s that worked great with the 30 pin adapter but after upgrading to the iPhone 6 this is my only option. If you have a iPhone 5 or later buy a fusion radio that is comparable with the MS-bt200 thus allowing you full control of your music from the radio dash.
