iPod Does anyone use the KOKKIA i10s Bluetooth Adapter

[apolloa]

Hi, just wondering if anyone uses the KOKKIA i10s Bluetooth Adapter? I am thinking of getting one to use with my iPod Nano 3rd Gen (the fatboy one) to use in my car.

I have a 2014 Fiesta ST so the bluetooth should work fine and allow me to change tracks etc, I just worry that I have a car that thieves like to steal now, so don't want to leave my iPod in it plugged into the USB port. The cars insured, but the iPod was a present I got once.

So was thinking of this little adapter as it gets good write ups but I would like to know if anyone has used it? Is it good and what battery life can I expect?

This is the adapter in question:

The alternative is to unplug the iPod all the time, but how will that affect the 30 pin connector over time?

That kokkia adapter is the bomb!

I bought one 2 months ago, but I have co-workers that
have had them for a couple of years now and they still
work great. I've been using mine for the last 2 months
almost daily when at work, connected to a 5.5g classic
ipod, transmitting the signal to a receiver on a bose
sounddock portable. I love it but the battery life sucks,
but I got a modded ipod, so that also is part of that.

In my case, the best thing about the Kokkia is that
it has an apple authentication chip built in it where I
can use the volume on the ipod when transmitting
the signal. Simply awesome, exactly what I wanted
to do using this bose dock. Couldn't be happier with it.

Depending on what actual battery life you were looking
to get with adapter hooked up, I'd say with you using a
3rd gen nano you probably get around 10-12 hours of
play on one charge. With the adapter, it'll probably
take you to around 7-8 hours off one full charge.

I'll try to take a pic and post it of my set-up if you
wanted to see it in action.

These are pics of my set up I use at work.

Kokkia bluetooth adapter plugged into bottom of
ipod 5.5g 128gb ssd mod. I got a bluetooth receiver
plugged into bose sounddock portable. Both work
great. The bluetooth adapter connects automatically
to receiver.

You cannot go wrong with this bluetooth adapter,
especially for it's size and what it does.
The volume authentication is the best feature of it.

Enjoy !

Thank you very much for the reply and the photos. I just took the plunge and ordered the tiny black one with the aptX feature. I'll come and post on here if it works with my car and what I think of it.

Nice!

I don't know what the aptX feature is for,
but more than likely you don't need that
feature for what you're using it for.

Was it the same price, $54.99 ?

aptX gives better sound quality over bluetooth and less latency, it cost a bit more but not much. Thinking of future proofing you see as I expect to still be using my iPod for a few years yet

Rats, I am going to have to send the adapter back. It's an awesome teeny tiny adapter, but it uses the 4 pin code for Bluetooth system and my cars useless system only uses the 6 digit code system so it won't work. And I can't change it, it seems if I was in America with an American spec car then it's simple to change the Sync system Bluetooth code to 4 digits, but with a UK spec car you don't have the option.....

Never mind, a good idea up the spout haha, I'll just unplug it all the time.
