Read product description carefully
I ordered this for my 2007 Honda Accord Coupe to replace the FM transmitter I had been using. It was very easy to install on my car. I just had to remove the panel around the gear shift, remove 6 screws, pull out the coin tray, the cigarette lighter (or power outlet as it's now called), pull out the storage pocket, plug the module into the 14 pin plug that was right there in plain view. I mounted mine inside the pocket which did require cutting about another half inch out of the hole that already existed at the back of the storage pocket. I say read the product description carefully (because I misread them at first) because you CANNOT change the track on your iPhone/iPod playlist using the radio controls. According to the product description, that only works when using the USB port with a flash drive. I tried plugging my iPhone into the USB port and it charges ONLY. It's only been in my car for 2 days so I've only had 2 days to judge it's performance. So far I can say I've had no connectivity issues and the sound quality is perfect (in my opinion). I normally only listen to internet radio through my iPhone in my car so being able to advance up or down through my playlists on my iPhone was not a huge deal. If that’s what you’re looking for (as I’m sure most people are) you’re going to have to go to a more expensive unit.

Modernized My Acura TL (2004) And I am quite satisfied!
I purchased this almost a year ago and I will be honest I am so glad I did. The tape player / radio is buggy due to it's age and I wanted to play music from my phone with ease. For me unfortunately Acuras are not straight forward like regular Hondas. I had to get to the stereo and unplug the internet radio BS that no one uses anymore. I had to sort of stuff the device under the steering column but you really will forget it is there but if I need to it is easy to access but never had to.I want to add my cars radio is very old and sometimes glitches out and I swapped out my AMP I believe its called for a another used one since it was blown out. I mention this so in case your wondering if the device works check that your speakers and AMP etc is working properly or atleast not dead lol.Either way the device took me maybe 20-30mins to install and I watched a few youtube videos on how to do it. Again Acuras have extra steps you have to take. But this ways the only alternative because I would have to drop some cash to get a new radio since it is all "special" and not like a Honda Civic or something.Point is the device works!

Great sound quality! Easy to install!
Sound is great! No sound quality is lost from factory stereo and speakers! Also quick and easy to install. Truly recommend for Bluetooth listening.

It works good and connects fast.
I used this Bluetooth on an Acura tsx 2006.And it’s easy to install. Just remove the radio XM connector under the radio unit. install the Bluetooth unit and that is it.The blue tooth connects instantly and it sounds good.My only issue with this item is that it has a voice telling you it’s connected and disconnected. It’s pretty annoying after a while. This item would be a 5 stay if remove that voice and use a beep when connected or disconnect.

Easy
Taking apart the dash to access the back of the stereo was easy. I hid the Bluetooth/USB adapter behind the dash panels above the glove box. I connected a USB and 3.5 mm extension cable(purchased separately) to the Crux adapter. Then installed that extension cable inplace of the 12v outlet next to the ash try as seen in my pictures. Product installation was relatively easy and quick. Bluetooth connection works great and now I have a USB radio sync/charging port on my dash.Update 03/09/19After using this Crux adapter and USB extension cable for a week I noticed a few things I thought I would mention. First, the USB only works as a charging port. No matter what I tried including multiple file formats. Dissapointing but not the worst. Bluetooth streamiing works very good for me. Connecting everytime without failure so far. Sound quality is good through both the Bluetooth and 3.5 audio out. I also had to dissconnect the USB/3.5 extension cable and return it. The Crux adapter does not work properly when you have cables permanently pluged into them. Meaning it is not smart enough to know what output you are using and automatically switch to it. No big deal because I agree with another review I read. The USB charging output current is weak. I replaced the USB/3.5 extension with a BlueSea dual USB 4.8 amp charging port. Very good product with great charging output current. I now have the Crux adapter in my glovebox so I can manually switch between 3.5 audio and Bluetooth. I hope this helps!

Does it's job with good sound quality
Easy to install. I am not sure why a few report this as being low quality. (Might just be your audio set up in your vehicle). I am missing one rear speaker, and even with that I am pleased with the sound. A whole lot better than the direct aux cable. C'mon, this device is compatible with vehicles that were manufactured in 2002! I am happy with it. I think it's worth it if you're not looking to spend more money on a new head unit.One thing to note: Initially, my radio did not sync with the bluetooth device. The LED light wasn't turning on, the radio would not go into "CD Mode". I simply disconnected my battery, reset the stock head unit (Where you're forced to enter the security code) and just like that, it worked. I have a 17 year old car and I am very please with this bluetooth unit. It's hard to grade sound quality but it's definitely not "Low Quality". It does it's job.

Good Product, Easy Install, motor noise
Easy to install in Honda Pilot. Small and light make it easier to install. The Bluetooth connection seems a little slow but not bad. Really, the only issue that we have is that when the device is active, it introduces a motor hum into the audio. This takes its power from the radio and the only connections are via Bluetooth. It's unfortunate for an otherwise good product. As a side note, the 'volume' seems lower than any other source. We have to really change the dial setting to get a comparable volume with the CRUX.
