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.

As Google's Android operating system continues to increase in popularity, GROM Audio continues  to bring customers the best quality adapters to fit their needs. Known as the first car audio company to deliver direct connection of Android smartphones or tablets to factory car stereos, GROM Audio strives to give drivers the ability to use their mobile devices on-the-go.

The GROM-USB2P car kit gives drivers the ability to not only listen to their own music library straight from their smartphone or tablet, but it also gives users the best sound quality through direct digital connection.

Because safety on the road is the most important factor of driving, this feature allows users keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road at all times.

GROM Audio's: What is your favorite app, contest winners announced!

Submissions are in and smartphone users have weighed in on their favorite smartphone functionalities and applications. From GPS capabilities to music streaming, users submitted countless entries informing fellow GROM Audio fans of their favorite applications.

With the convenience the Internet at our finger tips, smartphone users have the ability to access much more than their favorite playlist or Internet radio station—now users can play games, read the news, or even watch TV. These powerful devices allow people to maintain their busy lives, while on-the-go, giving people more mobility than ever. 

Our three winners introduced unique ways they use their smartphones, sharing how apps they use regularly, impact their lives.

1st Place: Jordan Cambra

My favorite app has to be C:GEO. It's an open source app that uses your built-in GPS and locating services to help you find geo-caches! Geo-caching is a global hide and seek game where you use GPS coordinates to find hidden containers placed around the environment. If you live in an urban area like me, then there are handfuls of geo-caches within walking distance. However it is more fun to drive to less familiar places first and then start hunting. Of course I also use my phone for music with my GROM audio input, it makes the drive to my geo-caching destination just as much fun as the activity itself.


2nd Place: Peter P.
MINT because I can link my financial accounts and check it all on my phone. I can edit each transaction and do budgets. It really keeps me in check with my spending. It also gives me alerts when I have a bill coming up.


3rd Place: Chris M.
Channel app. Pro version. Watch just about any tv show or movie without popups. Works great with vizo co-star and after downloading The vplayer app and adjusting the settings works great on my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 as well. It destroys Netflix and free except for the pro version of the app which allows you to view movies.

The first place winner receives a $45 Amazon gift card, while second place receives a GROM t-shirt/cap combo and third a GROM t-shirt. Stay tuned to gromaudio.com and facebook.com/gromaudio for our next contest!
