Phonocar’s Neat Nugget Keeps You In Touch With Style

A small self contained Bluetooth hands-free module that can upgrade any car stereo with a 3.5mm aux input – even directly on the front panel! Called a 6/854, it’s a cute dongley-thing that sticks in your 3.5mm socket, or else it has a neat stand and extension for the 3.5mm aux-in connection that it needs. It simply uses sequences of flashing LED’s like so many Bluetooth ear clip devices do – to let you know what the status of the thing is.
The unit can either sit directly on the radio’s facia or on the dash via said extension lead and the supplied stand. It routes all audio via the aux input and therefore through the car’s speakers. The stereo’s aux input is also still retained via a pass through socket on the module, which is damn clever..
