1. Most cars are Bluetooth enabled, and many old ones have aftermarket systems that are.
2. Most people listen to music at their desk with their computers
3. That does seem a bit of an issue, but part of the point of the AirPods
- drinchev 10y ago1) Buying another accessory for my car isn't the solution. What if I drive a rented car? 2) Most people store their music on their phones though.
- chrisper 10y agoI just recently bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019RVZ138/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019RVZ138/ref=oh_aui_deta... It was on sale, so it was cheaper than what you see there. I have pretty good experiences with it so far. It would also solve your rental car problem!
- elliotec 10y agoIs there an opposite version of that, like one I could attach to my headphones and play through an iPhone? EDIT: found it - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HQ0UVTG?psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HQ0UVTG?psc=1
- chrisper 10y agoWell, the one I have does that. The silver thing you see in the image can be removed as it's just an adapter. Then you have the normal aux connection.
- sordidfellow 10y agoThanks for that! I was hoping something like this existed so I could do the car audio aux + gps + charging.
- tebruno99 10y agoI just ad the Bluetooth convo with a friend and there seems to be this assumption that "most cars that people buy have bluetooth" but it just doesn't stand up very well when you look at what cars offer bluetooth in their base trim. http://cars.axlegeeks.com/d/f/Bluetooth http://cars.axlegeeks.com/d/f/Bluetooth yes, there are 11 pages but if you click on say Dodge and filter by 2016 you'll find only 3 high end vehicles with base trim on bluetooth. This means people actually need to choose Bluetooth which sounds crazy to us why they wouldn't but most people have no idea.

- DigitalJack 10y agoHey cool, I've been looking at a few options for this but haven't seen this one yet. Have you used it?
- coredog64 10y agoMy computer belongs to my employer, my iPhone/iPod/whatever belongs to me. I think my employer would be a little pissed if I filled the 256GB SSD with nothing but my music.
- macNchz 10y agoI'm continually underwhelmed with the reliability of the bluetooth in my car and others I've used recently. Annoying pairing process, random disconnects, arbitrary limits on the number of paired devices...I usually just use an aux cable.
- elliotec 10y agoI actually completely agree with this, it has been a pain in the ass from my experience as well. The after market stereos are almost always better though.
