JL Audio Weatherproof Bluetooth Receiver - MBT-RX

It works great. Hooks up super easy. Red, black, and RCA cables. Only thing I wish it had was a "remote wire". So it won't stay on all the time.

Good product. Not perfect but good

Very easy to install and connect to Bluetooth. This will not turn on and off your amp so if you don't have a head unit you have to wire in your remote turn on wire to a switch. Says 30' distance for transmission but mine breaks up between 15-20 feet. Other than that the unit is great. I would buy again for sure

Just what I wanted

I originally bought this for a cooler boom box. After I received it with a few more parts from Walmart I now have a bluetooth radio in my truck. This is an easy install and I would recommend this for anyone who would like to use Bluetooth in a car that's equipped with a Aux port but not Bluetooth.

Loud & Clear

I been through several Bluetooth receivers and this one by far blows others out of the water. I installed this on my STX 1100 jet ski.I have two "6.5 in the front with two tweeters & two "4 in the back with a NVX 400WATT RMS Amplifier. My system is loud but when I install the JL audio receiver my system went 5 times louder. It sounds clear and loud plus its waterproof and compact. I would recommend this Especially for BOATS and PWC.

Easy install and great sound!!

It's super easy to install, with only power and ground needed in addition to connecting the RCA cables. Great range for Bluetooth. Great value!!

Simply Amazing

This is by far the best, most affordable Bluetooth receiver I have ever purchased. I have it connected to a Becker Traffic Pro head unit in my Mercedes and the ease of connectivity, lack of interference and shear clarity are worthy of mention. This unit outperforms the much more expensive Becker branded Bluetooth dongle that I had been using for years. I will buy another unit to do a modification in my other car. This is an excellent product.

Connects easily

I have always liked JL Audio products, and this BT receiver is excellent. It connects automatically even when I have an earbud on. I mounted it so that I can see the blue connected light which is incredibly helpful.
I definitely recommend this product.

JL Audio Weatherproof Bluetooth Receiver - MBT-RX

Awesome product! As always JL Audio has went above and beyond in designing their equipment. I installed this in place of the AUX jack in my factory Cadillac head unit and the Bluetooth range as well as the sound quality are very impressive.

JL Audio Weatherproof Bluetooth Receiver - MBT-RX

I ordered this one because the NVX Vubt was on backorder. I ordered the NVX a few years ago but the JL Audio is much clearer and has about ten feet more range through walls in a house.

JL Audio Weatherproof Bluetooth Receiver - MBT-RX

This is a perfect unit for someone who wants to use just the Bluetooth function to connect your phone . Perfect solution for using rca and the sound output is top notch .

Works perfectly

I installed this inside the fairing of a Harley Street Glide. Easy install, crimped a piggyback terminal connector to the power wires and attached to the cigarette lighter. Used a Y adapter to convert from RCA to 3.5 MM to connect to my rear mounted AUX input (Modified HK radio).
The thing that impresses my most is that it connects automatically and I have had none of the connection hassles I see riders with stock HD radios dealing with.
So far it passes the durability test as I have ridden some poorly maintained roads since installing. I'll see how it holds up to the Texas heat in the next few months.
Overall I am very pleased with this unit.

Great product

I bought this for my boat that already had a great sound system but no bluetooth. Easy to install just power and a ground. Plug into aux rca jacks and that’s it. Two screws to mount it or you can peel and stick it with the already attached 3m tape. Once connected through Bluetooth I could use my playlist. Awsome

Great little unit.

I have this split to make a 4 channel, and still sound great. If you need a direct connect, this is the way to go..

Superb Sound Quality

Connects automatically each time I turn on the ignition. I don’t have to pair each time. The sound quality is so much better than what I had before. Excellent quality.
