Replacing old car radio by the easiest (minimum buttons) bluetooth device ?

[NaDu]

hello,

 

I am looking for the easiest bluetooth device (no interest in any other function as everything is controled by smartphone) to replace an old car radio.

 

I cannot find something really simple without tons of useless buttons.

 

Have you found something ?

 

thank you.

Nakamichi?

Isn't it paradoxical that if you get seen/caught making a call on your phone you can get done (in UK as well as Thailand), but you can control all your music & radio from it, via Bluetooth, and use it as your Sat Nav which possibly distracts more from your driving than a phone call.

I guess it's all down to whether you are holding the phone or not.

You dont touch the phone, it works from all those dam buttons on the steering wheel, i often chat with the Cruise Control or GPS, that Woman never listens.

$10 bucks on dhgate, probably same on alie and lazada. Seen simpler, cheaper ones around 200 baht in Tesco-Lotus autobits aisle as well.

You answered your own question, if your phone is hands free no problem and if you like me put your phone in a holder for GPS also no problem.

Why does he have to like you before using his phone holder?

Never figured you for a language teacher. I should have used a comma, or its English humor not sure.

 

and if you like me put your phone in a holder, means that i put my phone in a holder and if he does the same  there is no problem with the police.

 

Just explaining what i meant here as i don't know if its an attempt to humor that i missed or that you really did not understand me.

FYI -

pedantic

The nitpickery of the english language that drives the less detail oriented insane...often mistaken as a tool to impress others when in fact it is annoying

If you like me = if you do what I do.

If you drive a black Vios, and I drive a black Vios, you drive a car like me.

Can You understand Alex Ferguson?, London is easy, just ignore the F Word every sentence. Be  an Accord or Civic Turbo owner soon, had enough of GERMIM overprice. The Toyo isnt that good on Hiways power the tests say.

Just having a jest. I'm Scottish so English isn't my first language either.

 

Try, "...and if like me, you put your phone in a holder, ..."

 

No worries, I still like you.

If I had used an emoticon, would it have helped you lighten up a wee bit?

 

PS. Your grammar is atrocious. No emoticon intended.

I tried a similar device and it really wasnt very good.

 

So I drove to Bangkok one Sunday, had a nice lunch and then went to a Bangkok car audio dealer who fitted a very good Pioneer car stereo with BT and USB for about 6000B, which included fitting an extra dashboard USB socket and a dashcam that I bought elsewhere. I went to Bangkok because shops in Pattaya had no stock or were way overpriced.

So theres a Cloggie, Jock, Canadian,  Old Cockney and Viking, all we needs a Yank and no one can get a word in.

Oh I totally agree how these things aren't the best and some are just plain rubbish. I faffed around with a couple of them in my last pickup that wasn't BT enabled. Ended up buying the gadget below from Halfords in the UK when I was home and it was  a great way to integrate streaming internet FM on a smartphone via BT with a hard-wired 'line-in' auxiliary input on the OEM music box AND enable hands-free phone use. Still in a box somewhere.
