Ampire BTR200X - Bluetooth receiver

If you want to be able to listen to your music, audio books or navigation wirelessly via Bluetooth in your car, then the Bluetooth receivers from the BTR series are the solution. You can retrofit wireless A2DP Bluetooth audio streaming to most navigation and car radio systems using the Bluetooth receivers from Ampire.

The connection is easy to set up and is automatically restored via Bluetooth 4.0. The BTR series uses the Bluetooth protocol for headphones on your smartphone and does not affect the functionality of your Bluetooth hands-free system.

The BTR200X Bluetooth receiver has been developed for navigation and car radio systems with a 3.5mm jack input and a 12 volt electrical system.

Listen to Bluetooth® in CD quality with aptX®

As an alternative to the standard Bluetooth®, we also have receivers with the Bluetooth® aptX® codec. This codec is becoming increasingly popular. If you use devices with the aptX standard, you can significantly improve the sound quality of your Bluetooth streams.

What improves Bluetooth® aptX®

The aptX® codec uses a more efficient method for compressing audio data, which makes better use of the available bandwidth. The prerequisite for aptX® streams is that both the playback device and the transmitter also support Bluetooth aptX®. The function can be recognized by the aptX® lettering on the device. The codec supports common audio formats such as MP3 and FLAC.
