Car Bluetooth Receiver with Qualcomm aptX for HiFi Audio and Hands-Free Calling

If your car stereo lacks built-in Bluetooth, this Ugreen CM125 car Bluetooth receiver provides a straightforward way to stream music and take calls wirelessly. By plugging into a USB power source and connecting to the auxiliary input, you can enjoy Qualcomm aptX-enhanced audio from your phone. The built-in microphone with -38dB sensitivity supports clear hands-free conversations, making it a practical upgrade for older vehicles.

Features and Construction

This compact receiver combines Bluetooth connectivity, a 3.5mm output, and a power-efficient USB design in a small 50 x 50 x 48mm package. It uses Bluetooth 4.2 and supports several profiles for both audio and phone control.

Qualcomm aptX Support

The receiver supports Qualcomm aptX, a codec that delivers HiFi-level wireless audio performance. This means less compression and better sound quality when streaming music from compatible phones compared to standard Bluetooth audio.

3.5mm Stereo Output

A 3.5mm stereo jack allows connection to virtually any car auxiliary input. The cable measures 1.2 metres, giving enough reach to position the receiver conveniently on the dashboard or centre console.

Bluetooth 4.2 and Profiles

With Bluetooth 4.2, the receiver offers a stable connection up to 10 metres. It supports A2DP 1.3, AVRCP 1.6 for music control, plus HFP 1.6 and HSP 1.2 for hands-free calling.

Uses and Placement

This device is designed for in-car use, specifically adding wireless audio and call capability to stereos that only have auxiliary inputs. It can also be used in other settings with a 3.5mm input and USB power.

In-Car Hands-Free Calling

The built-in microphone enables hands-free phone calls while driving. HFP 1.6 ensures wide compatibility with most modern smartphones for answering and ending calls without touching the phone.

Wireless Music Streaming

Stream music from apps, podcasts, or navigation prompts directly to your car stereo. The aptX codec delivers near-CD-quality sound for compatible devices, making it suitable for audiophiles on a budget.

Everyday Commute and Travel

Ideal for daily commutes or long journeys, the receiver plugs into USB ports found in many modern cars. Its compact size means it doesn't clutter the dashboard.

Benefits and Buying Value

This product provides a simple, cost-effective upgrade for cars lacking Bluetooth. It avoids the expense of replacing the entire stereo unit while adding the two most requested features: wireless audio and hands-free calls.

Plug-and-Play Installation

No wiring or complex setup is required. Plug the USB end into a power source, connect the 3.5mm jack to the stereo auxiliary input, and pair via Bluetooth. The entire process takes under a minute.

Compact and Portable

Measuring just 50 x 50 x 48mm, the receiver is small enough to leave plugged in or store in the glovebox when not in use. It can also be moved between vehicles if needed.

Why Choose This Model

The inclusion of Qualcomm aptX and a -38dB microphone sets this receiver apart from basic adapters. It offers noticeably better audio and call quality at a modest price point.
