Hard to get a good range in my home due to brick and needing to go around corners. It seems to be 30 feet. It works great in my living room and kitchen and upstairs bathroom.
Works perfectly with a GROM audio interface installed in my daughter's car and only $10. Just awesome. Bought 3 at the local Sprint store. Thanks for the great find.

Anyone use this with DICE products? Just tried the FIPO with it and it won't turn on... Any ideas?
I purchased this from a Sprint store today and it works great!
I'm using it in a 2007 Scion tC with the iPod connector. I plugged it into the connector, the blue light lit up, and I paired it with my phone. I then just set the head unit to use the iPod and the display changed to "Bluetooth".
I fired up Pandora on my phone and it played out of my car speakers. I also played mp3s on the phone and those worked perfectly too. I did not notice any sound cutouts and it was full stereo. Pretty impressive for $10!
Now I just need a good place to mount the phone so I can always see what's playing and this will be the perfect solution.

i saw this yesterday on sprint's website and i'm going to go to my local sprint store and see if they have them in stock. so excited based on what has been said in this discussion so far.
Well crap!
Don't work on OEM Toyota Ipod interface. Doesn't even come on.

So let me get this straight. This thing plugs into Ipod USB cable, correct? not an 1/8" headphone jack?
So music on phone gets transfered to this bluetooth adapter mimicking an ipod and then to the stereo? Does it transfer the text from the song as well?
So far this thing looks sweet.
But then again, if you tried the FIPO, it may not; being as they look like the same devices...

Hey woo. If the answer to my question above is true, and this thing connects through an ipod usb cable; then yes, it SHOULD work with DICE products. I havent tested it, but their products are controllable by both the ipod and the decks, meaning that the ipods have true control as opposed to the deck. Anyone use this with DICE products?

Yes, the iPod connector plugs into this device. The same connector that plugs into the bottom of the iPod. The device does not have a hole for a 1/8" headphone jack.So let me get this straight. This thing plugs into Ipod USB cable, correct? not an 1/8" headphone jack?

just Curious, does your oem iPod interface charge your ipod while you listen to it?Well crap!

Because here's what I'm thinking. this device probably gets power from the iPod cable.
(Current owners, please confirm this. this device does not have a seperate power adapter, does it? The power comes on when plugged into the ipod cable, correct?)
What I am getting at, is if the setup you have only streams your music from your iPod and doesn't charge it. There would be no electrical current going in to power this adapter either. Rendering it unusable it certain car audio applications, such as older DICE systems and apparently OEM toyota ipod connectors.
Maybe we should start a list of incompatible setups.
Be sure to list Year/Make/Model of car as well as Type and Model of Factory/Aftermarket Deck.

Yes, mine does charge it, so the power is provided through that iPod cable. There is not another power source fed into the device.just Curious, does your oem iPod interface charge your ipod while you listen to it?

Mine does not transfer the text from the song. On my head unit, it displays "Bluetooth" when I'm using the device.sweet. does it transfer the text from the song to compatible decks as well?

If you get a call, it stops the music and allows you to answer it. Once you hang up the call, it resumes the music playback.oh snap deff gunna pick one of these up for my pioneer avic d3!

Never thought to try Pandora. Excellent idea.
Im not seeing the page, maybe my internet connection.
Works perfectly with my cigarette lighter iPod adapter and with my Belkin speaker system. There's a problem with using my earpiece, because my earpiece is A2DP compliant. Thus, I have to keep headset off until I turn on the car, then connect for phone only on the earpiece.
Still working on getting this part right. Sometimes it's easier to just hear the music in the earpiece; but on long trips, music on the car speaker system is awesome.

I don't have an Ipod, but the instructions [factory unit in '08 Xd] say that when you plug in the Ipod and hit the button on the radio it turns on the Ipod.just Curious, does your oem iPod interface charge your ipod while you listen to it?

Not sure if it charges Ipod while in use but I came to the conclusion you did.
my pioneer avic d3 gives me an error 11 and after it pair's the light goes out on the adapter 
Thing blows.
Doesnt play the callers voice through the speakers and reception is very poor.
The female ipod > 3.5 mm cable works much better. I was kind of hoping this FIPO thing would work, but it is terrible, and the wire is 10x better, allows the callers voice too be heard through the speakers.
