Advantage of this over the Kinivo is you don't need to provide power - its draws from the usb plug and is tiny.. very minimalist install.
That’s a cool device worth checking out. However I would disagree that not needing power is its advantage over the Kinivo. It does require power...from the USB. So it is still plugged into two separate locations (USB and AUX) just like the Kinivo (12V port and AUX).
The apparent advantage of this over the Kinivo is that this doesn’t have an interface button. It simply adds BT to your vehicle which is the goal. That is an advantage as long as this device allows you to control your device from the steering wheel buttons; does it? I found the Kinivo convenient because I could easily (and without looking down) switch tracks, take calls, and summon Siri all by touch on a single button.
Bottom line, this seems to be a solid and inexpensive option for adding BT to “toothless” LR4s.
