I'll Start by saying that I own several different types of these bluetooth receivers. I build MP3 players, speakers, ect.. in my spare time. Sound quality (to me) is the most important factor when choosing a device like this. Out of the 3 models that I currently use this is by far the best. High fequencies are typically exagerated and distort at high levels with most bluetooth receivers I have used. The Aluratek's sound surpasses all of them. I will be using this going forward for all my projects. Agree the cable is a little whimppy, Get some Velcro, secure it and you're good.

I got this device so I could listen to podcasts over my Incredible 2 in my vehicle. I was using a patch cord, but the headphone jack on my phone was wearing out (down to one channel of the stereo). This type of device is a great solution.The only issue I have with the device is that I have to pair and connect EVERY TIME I want to use it. I wish it would "remember" my phone. Even when my phone shows the device in its listing of available bluetooth devices, when I do go to pair the I-Stream, it drops off the remembered device list of my phone. I then have to put the I-stream in discovery mode, and scan with my phone. Even then, it's not always a sure pair. I can get it to work with effort and then it's smooth sailing once connected. Good for one drive at a time essentially. Also did get it to work with some speakers in the house.

One of my friends is able to stream music around his house, and I thought it was the greatest thing. So I decided I would also go wireless in my home and my car. I bought this unit in the hopes that it would work in the car. The problem is that you have to turn it on each time the power source is interrupted. And it's a little black switch on black plastic that you have to hold for about 8 seconds. So this didn't work (I bought a Belkin F8Z492TTP Bluetooth Music Receiver that is always on when power is on). Then I thought I would try it at my office desk and just leave it plugged in all the time. Unfortunately, it still turns off after some period of time. So when you come back a few days later expecting to connect seamlessly, you have to find the little black button and hold it down for 8 seconds. For this, you might as well plug in a cord.Honest reviews on Aluratek AIS01F I-Stream DockFree Bluetooth Audio Receiver with RCA
Tired of fumbling with cables when you want to stream music from your smartphone to your car stereo? This little device is the answer.It's a lot smaller than the images make it seem; about half the size of a credit card. The output cable is hard-wired into the unit, and feels a little flimsy, but so long as you're careful plugging and unplugging it, you shouldn't have any problems. Pairing is easy and the standard for bluetooth devices just hold down the power button until the LED blinks red and blue, and you're ready to pair.
Audio quality sounded just as good as running a wire from my smartphone to my car's AUX jack. Volume output is more than sufficient, and where I'd normally need to turn my car stereo up to 11 or 12 for FM radio, and 8 or 9 for my iPod, with this little unit I barely had to go above 5.
Battery life was also good, though I would recommend picking up a generic USB car charger to go along with it, or better yet a dual-charger to keep both the Bluetooth receiver and your audio player topped up for long drives.
Although it comes with a headphone-jack-to-RCA-plug adapter, it does not come with a wall charger, so if you want to use this to stream music to your home stereo you'll probably want some sort of wall-jack-to-usb doodad.
Overall, I feel this little device was well worth the price. Toss out those extra wires and give it a try!
