Bovee 1000 - Wireless Music Interface Adaptor Compatible with Audi, Mercedes, and Volkswagen car kit (AMI Adapter (for Audi/Mercedes/VW))

So, on my 20-year-old 05 Toyota Solara, on the old DICE iPod player I had installed maybe 15 years ago, this gadget connected instantly and seamlessly in May 2025, on the first try, without a hitch. Am now able to stream music from iPhone thru my car system, crystal clear. The DICE player was installed to transmit through satellite, rather than FM, station, so no static or distortions now, as you have thru FM transmitter. In fact, this appears amplified thru the BOVEE...Sound quality on my original factory system is pretty incredible, like you're listening in 4K, if that makes any sense. Don't think my car ever sounded this good, thru FM radio, FM transmitter, or CD or cassette player...my only regret is that I never found this way sooner! Thanks :-) UPDATE: worked terrifically for a few weeks and then died...no blue lights, no longer able to connect at all. Should have waited a trial period before writing the above review. :-(

Wow! Due to many poor reviews of this Bluetooth transmitter/received on blogs, I was not holding my breathe on this little device working properly.....BUT......I WAS SO pleasantly surprised!! This little gem works 100% as it should in my 2009 Audi Q7 MMI. I'm not really sure why people a few years back had so many issues, I'm guessing that it took several firmware upgrades on the part of Tune2air as well as maybe changes in the AMI within the Audi, but it works PERFECTLY! The sound is clear, there is NO delay or pauses for the most part Any slight delay or skipping was just poor reception, but it literally lasted less than a second and happened only two or three times out of 8 hours active use in my Audi while on a road trip. I have only tested this product for 24 hours, so we will see if anything comes later, but I'm expecting not. Here's a comprehensive summary as to what I experienced: -Pairing was INCREDIBLY easy! Plug in, find on device, pair, put in password....DONE! -No skipping or delay whatsoever with exception of normal hesitation that happens with any Bluetooth device -Music is SUPER CLEAR, rich and sounds like it does when transmitted through hard wire -FULL functionality of your ipod/iphone features such as listing on your playlists, all your iTunes player buttons, it's all transmitted seamlessly through to the MMI on board the Audi -Works perfectly and receives no interference from the on board Audi Bluetooth for your phone functionality! -When a phone call comes in, music mutes and the Audi bluetooth kicks in and when the phone call is done, music restarts! -When re-entering the vehicle after vehicle being off for a period of time, music starts back up where you left off! WAY TO GO Tune2air folks! I suspect it was years in the making, but I'm very happy I get to reap the rewards, because for any Audi owner who owns an older Audi (2007-2011), we ALL know how painful it's been to find a TRUE Bluetooth device capable of communicating properly with the Audi MMI module on board.

Rubbish - Just does not work - Bought this for my 2009 Mercedes with an OEM iPohone/iPod connector built in. The Bovie1000 just won't connect to my iPhone 15S reliably. Returned the first on and have identical problems with the replacement one - package seal was already opened on the replacement so it was likely somebody else's return with the same problems It took 15+ attempts to get see the Bovie1000 in the iPhone Bluetooth settings, when you click on it to pair, it just fails after a minute or so with an error message saying pairing was unsuccessful and to check the Bovie1000 is turned on or in range. The first Bovie1000 eventually did pair but would not stay connected, the car display still showed "No iPod", it also got too hot to hold in the hands - really bad design and a fire risk for something you keep in your glove compartment with no airflow. The second (replacement) Bovie1000 would not pair at all so am returning for a refund - this has been a total waste of time, this product is a piece of junk and does not work with a Mercedes 2009 OEM iPod/iPhone interface as it is claimed to. Don't waste you time, nice idea, awful design and execution and in my professional Electrical Engineering opinion is unsafe/unstable thermally. It's really hard to screw up Bluetooth product design these days with so many very low cost high performance modules available for integration into product designs but somehow these guys made an $80 product that just doesn't work.

Beemn using this for about 3 months now, and I have no complaints. Works great with the 20 year old Becker Grand Prix radio. All I had to du was unplug the ipod and put this in. Pairs up quickly with my Google Pixel phone and I can stream Spotify or you tube all day long.

Works great on a 2008 Mercedes CL550 with my iPhone 13 Pro using Spotify! I plugged the dongle into my glovebox cable, and it started blinking a blue light, quickly found BOVEE in my bluetooth, connected it using "0000" as my pairing code, set my radio to AUX (NOT MP3), opened Spotify, hit play and boom... music! In addition to playing music, it will also announce Google Maps turn by turn directions during the music like normal. The only thing it won't do is "listen" for my voice, so phone calls still go through my phone, and talk-to-text doesn't "hear" what I'm saying. Also, I don't think you can change the song on the car buttons, you have to go to your phone and hit next or pause. Otherwise, if you're just looking to have music and audible directions in your old car (the way an iPod used to work), this thing works a charm! It reconnects very quickly when I get back in the car and turn it on, starts playing music right away. Exactly what I needed, I don't need an Apple Carplay interface, I just need music. Thank you!

This is actually the second Bovee I now have. It worked so well in my Mazda SP23 that I bought this second one for my wife’s Merc ML500. Easy to connect, easy to pair with iOS or Android devices. Plays all apps (music, maps podcasts etc) through vehicle speakers. Mutes when a phone call is received. Brilliant!

Perfect for what I needed, works well, very happy with purchase, saved a lot of money instead of replacing my whole head unit

Works great with the MMCS unit in my 2008 Mitsubishi Pajero. Would've been excellent if it could display the names of the songs too.. still a big improvement from using my old ipod to be able to stream my spotify playlist and still be able to use my steering wheel controls.

Had high expectations but after setting up and connecting then going for drive the music interrupted and then the BT keeps disconnecting. Waste of money and certainly doesn’t do what it says.
