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.
