It connects to my phone in seconds once I turn it on. Sound quality is fine too playing from Pandora and 8tracks. Range is fine too as I've walked out of my car with my phone in my pocket without any interruptions.

Best of all, the only wire in the cabin is a short 6" one that goes to the adapter. It sits in the ashtray next to the aux input plug anyway, so if I got creative I could even get the whole thing out of the way.

I'm talking about 8tracks, the music app. There should be no reason why the app doesn't work as it just is a music player through your phone. As long as the bluetooth adapter is A2DP compatible, it will play any type of music from your phone just fine.

And one more benefit that I've found out from using it. When I have a navigation app opened (such as Google Maps), the sound goes through the car speakers also and not through the phone speakers, which would sometimes happen if I had just my aux cable plugged in.
