Ideal for Discreet Bluetooth Audio Installs
I was looking for a clean way to add Bluetooth to my setup without installing a bulky head unit — this little device delivered exactly that. It connects directly to my amplifier, no display, no unnecessary buttons — just solid wireless performance. Great for stealth installs in classic cars, marine setups, or even ATVs. The waterproof build and solid construction give me confidence it’ll last. Pairing is fast, and the audio quality is surprisingly clear. Highly recommended for anyone building a hidden Bluetooth audio system.

✓ Verified purchaseWorks great, using it with a 5 channel JL XDM amp and 7 band Clarion equalizer with Kicker 3 way 6x9 enclosed speakers and Kicker L7T shallow sub to make a completely standalone stereo system in my '22 F150 in order to not mess with the factory system and get way better sound quality and not cause warranty issues.

✓ Verified purchaseMounted my car amp on the boat, added this module, and now the system powers up when my phone plays audio. Volume and track changes are all on the phone. I wired it through a switch to turn it off when not needed. Reliable and quick to reconnect whenever I power the boat on.

✓ Verified purchaseI like that it fits directly into the amp (no extra deck required), the whole system is hidden inside. The chassis looks durable, well sealed, and should work under tough or wet environment.

Before you ask.
How to add Bluetooth to an old car stereo?
Wire the CAR receiver to the head unit's RCA (aux) input and a 12V-24V switched power line; pair your phone once and it reconnects on every drive.
What's the best 12V bluetooth receiver?
For hardwired installs, the blafili CAR covers 12V-24V systems with dual RCA output, hands-free calling and BT 5.2.
Does the blue remote trigger wire keep my amplifier on whenever the vehicle key is on?
No. The blue remote trigger wire is audio-activated, not ACC-switched. It outputs power only while Bluetooth audio is actively playing. This helps turn on your amplifier only when needed during music playback. If you want your amplifier to stay on continuously whenever the key is on, the amp remote wire should be connected to the vehicle’s ACC or ignition-switched circuit instead.
Why doesn’t my amp stay on for navigation prompts when no music is playing?
The blue remote trigger wire turns on only when Bluetooth audio is actively playing. In navigation-only use, short spoken prompts may not keep the amplifier awake the same way continuous music playback does. If you need the amplifier to remain on whenever the vehicle is on, use the vehicle’s ACC-switched remote circuit rather than relying on the audio-triggered blue wire.
I connected yellow to 12V and black to ground but nothing happens.
Please connect the ACC wire to switched 12V (ignition). Yellow+Black alone won’t turn it on.
