I was also concerned with the fact that bluetooth being a wireless technology, I will be loosing quality of the sound when streaming music over bluetooth. I zeroed in on this one after reading some excellent review on desertcart.com (US). Kinivo may not be a very popular brand but this product is well worth every penny. This product is an excellent fit for any car. I have been using this well over a month now and can say I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. Pros: 1. If you own an AptX supported device like the Xperia Z3 look no further, this bluetooth device is AptX compatible, and gives an extremely superb audio quality when streamed over bluetooth 2. Auto connects when the car is started 3. Good in-call voice quality 4. Supports voice commands with Google Now (Use the BTNow app to switch from voice dialler to Google Now) to speak commands to get directions, play music etc Cons: (Nothing major. Works perfect!!) 1. Wires are a quite thin & delicate, but if you install the kit with care, they shouldn't bother you much. You are not really going to wire on and off this thing every time. Its a car kit. It just stays there once you install. Review: Better Bluetooth kits available on desertcart - Bought this device more than a year back Installation is easy and takes barely 3-4 minutes ------------------------------------------------------------- PROS: 1) USB port included in the kit. 2) Bluetooth compatible with iPhone(including iPhone 7plus ) and android phones. 3) cute little device and sticks well on the dashboard. (Using it since 1 year but has never come out ). ------------------------------------------------------------- CONS: 1) aux input jack is weird and there is a constant disturbance in the background in low volume and at times even at high volume. Because of the faulty aux jacket using the device becomes difficult. 2) connecting to Bluetooth is troublesome and I had issues in connecting this to my iPhone a number of times. 3) talking to people via the device is not that great . 4) cheap quality for this price. 5) music sound quality is not good. ------------------------------------------------------------- CONCLUSION: I DO NOT recommend this Bluetooth device for your car because it is not worth the price you are paying for and much better devices are available on desertcart for the same price. ## Features - Hands-Free car kit designed for answering and receiving calls with any Bluetooth smartphone - iPhone, Android, Blackberry etc - Seamlessly stream music from any Bluetooth (A2DP) capable device; supports aptX for CD quality audio - Built-in microphone and easy to use music controls - Provides audio through your 3.5mm input in Car Stereo when playing music and answering phone calls - Requires 3.5mm audio input in the car stereo ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009NLTW60 | | Audio Input | 3.5mm AUX | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo | | Audio Output Type | auxiliary | | Bluetooth support? | Yes | | Box Contents | Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Car Kit, Adhesive Pad (for Mounting) and User Manual | | Brand | KINIVO | | Brand Name | KINIVO | | Colour | black | | Compatibility Options | Smartphone, Tablet, MP3 Player, Car Stereo System | | Compatible Devices | Car Stereo System, MP3 Player, Tablet | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth, USB | | Connector Type Used on Cable | Auxiliary | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | music control | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 9,468 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00609465954585 | | Hardware Interface | Bluetooth, USB | | Human Interface Input | Touchscreen | | Includes Remote | No | | Installation Type | wired and wireless | | Item Weight | 32 g | | Item Weight Unit of Measure | 32 g | | Manufacturer | Kinivo | | Number of Channels | 2 | | Number of Ports | 2 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Features | Built-In Microphone | | Rechargeable Battery Included | No | | Special Feature | Built-In Microphone | | Supported Application | Music Players, Podcast Apps, Streaming Services (e.g., Spotify, YouTube) | | Supported Media Type | CD | | Supported Standards | aptX | | UPC | 609465954585 | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer warranty | | Wireless Compability | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KINIVO - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth, USB - **Item Weight:** 32 g - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Special Feature:** Built-In Microphone ## Images ![Kinivo Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit (BTC450) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oT3AMktVL.jpg) ![Kinivo Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit (BTC450) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713W9MIPB7L.jpg) ![Kinivo Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit (BTC450) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sF8lVK1eL.jpg) ![Kinivo Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit (BTC450) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719Xx2leH5L.jpg) ![Kinivo Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit (BTC450) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8164jt1Tq0L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you launch Google Now via the button and give voice commands through the microphone? It's ok if this requires some apps/settings on the phone.** A: As per prior answers, you can set this up. I did this on a GS4 running lollipop. In Google Now settings, under Voice, enable Bluetooth headset to record audio. I use Google Play music, and didn't change anything there. With music playing, press the button once, this pauses the music. Then hold the button down until it beeps, you have to turn the phone back on to enable the bluetooth device to activate Google Now (from notifications). Repeat the process, now you can activate Google Now voice input with the screen off with the long-press (remembering to pause music with the initial press). I did have a project to enable my BMW BT, but I don't see the point now. The combo of the BTC450, Google Play Music and Google Now beats what my car would be able to do. **Q: How long is the wire from the BT button end to the power unit/aux ends?** A: Dear John,Thank you for your question regarding our Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit. The aux cable and power cable lengths are 11.5 inches and the overall length is 48.5 inches.Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.

Whenever you are listening to your car radio (AM/FM), the ringing will not be heard. The car music system has to be set to "AUX" for the ringing to be heard through the car.

As other users have mentioned, most cars will power off their cigarette lighter port when the car is shut off. This will power off BTC450 as well.We hope this answers your questions.

Here is a summary of some of the ones I tried out. I got a Blaupunkt BT Drive Free 311 unit with the car as it was part of the combo kit I purchased - it used its own speaker and had a lot of static, needed me to reach out to the sun visor to control it, would freeze often and needed to be charged every 2 days. It's found its place on a shelf and I'll never look back. I also explored a Leoxsys system that I got off another site for 1300, sounded good but again same problem frequent charging and did not snuck in neatly somewhere. Gave that to a friend. so i got this one then after reading rave reviews..i must say the build quality except for the cables are top notch. the cables seem too fragile. speedy set-up in less than 40 seconds to my nexus 5. I made a few calls and the person on the other side couldn't tell i was on a bluetooth car set-up. there was no echo and voice was crystal clear. Pros starts up with the car turns off with the car since it uses the cigarette lighter port it makes up by providing an usb point which is great if your Bluetooth is on when you enter the car and start up - boom it connects seamlessly and plays music if your media player supports that feature(power-amp on my nexus 5 does) comes with two 3M patches to stick the unit Cons cables are fragile cables are of predefined length 3.5 jack would have been better had it been flat head and L shaped I was able to snuck the extra cable and tie it alongside the charging port - got some images of the same on the following links. http://imgur.com/A9nmbhF http://imgur.com/SlEkm1v ## Frequently Bought Together - Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Car Kit (Hands-Free, AUX Bluetooth Adapter for Cars with Ground Loop Noise Isolator, 3.5mm Aux Input, Apt-X) - 3.5mm Stereo Jack to 3.5mm Stereo Jack Female to Female Adapter Connector Gold Plated (3 Pack) - VCE 3.5mm Female to 2 RCA Splitter Male Stereo Audio Y Cable 2-Pack, Gold Plated Adapter Compatible for TV,Smartphones, MP3, Tablets, Speakers,Home Theater (8 inch) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/83576772-kinivo-bluetooth-hands-free-car-kit-btc450](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/83576772-kinivo-bluetooth-hands-free-car-kit-btc450) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
