Use Your USB Device to Listen to Music in the Car

Many European cars come equipped with a USB output, making it easy for drivers to listen to media stored on a mass storage device. This is why it is common practice for European drivers to use USB devices, rather than a MP3 players or mobile phones, to listen to music while driving. Since USB devices often have much more space to store music and media, users can free up space on their mobile phones to allow applications to load faster and phone battery to last longer.

But many car makes, both American and European, do not come standard with the use of USB. Therefore, drivers must adapt their vehicles in order to use the luxury of using a mass storage device to play media. GROM Audio designs and manufactures USB adapters with add-ons to cater to drivers audio needs. Car audio adapters such as the GROM-USB2P give drivers not only the ability to listen to music on a flash drive, but also direct connection Android devices and the capability to add Bluetooth, aux input, and iPod/iPhone connectivity (all sold separately).

GROM Audio Aux Adapters for Cars Create Hands-free Calling for Users

The Best Aux and Bluetooth Adapter for your Car 

It is important for drivers to feel safe on the road and one of the easiest ways to do so is through hands-free calling. Bluetooth capabilities not only create the safety drivers are looking for, but also give them the ability to stream or enjoy their own music library wirelessly. Unfortunately, not all cars come equipped with Bluetooth capacities, which is why GROM Audio creates aux adapters for cars without these features.

Since drivers are looking for aux Bluetooth solutions for their vehicles, GROM Audio developed the GROM-BT3. These Bluetooth and auxiliary adapters are simple and affordable solutions for many car makes and models, giving drivers in-car Bluetooth hands-free calling and 3.5mm input for MP3 player and smartphone connection. The BT3 adapters give drivers an aux cable for their cars, allowing features that make the driving experience safer and more enjoyable.
