Ampire BTR200-HD - Bluetooth Receiver Adapter

If you want to be able to listen to your music, audio books or navigation from your Apple iPhone or Android smartphone wirelessly via Bluetooth® in maximum sound quality in your car, then the BTR series Bluetooth receivers with aptX(TM) are the solution. You can retrofit wireless A2DP Bluetooth audio streaming on most navigation and car radio systems using the Bluetooth receivers from Ampire.
The connection is easy to set up and is automatically re-established via Bluetooth®. 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 BTR200-HD Bluetooth® receiver has been developed for navigation and car radio systems with a 3.5 mm jack input and a 12 volt on-board power supply. Listen to Bluetooth® in CD quality with aptX(TM)? As an alternative to the standard Bluetooth®, we also have receivers. with the Bluetooth® aptX(TM) 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(TM)?

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

Which smartphones support Bluetooth® aptX(TM)?

Not all Android smartphones support the Bluetooth® codec aptX(TM). You can check whether your Android smartphone is compatible in the technical data of your smartphone. An Apple iPhone does not support the Bluetooth® codec aptX(TM) in principle.
