We used to have earbuds that don’t need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn’t get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k
You can still do that if you want. My car’s bluetooth is finicky, so I just have a USB C->aux cable adapter I use. You can share between people and have them share their music. It doesn’t help with the password issues, but you absolutely can still use an aux cable with modern phones. You just need to use a USB C->aux rather than an aux->aux.
So glad the Europeans finally broke Apple and their ridiculous charger shenanigans. A coworker just got a new iPhone and asked me if I had an iPhone charger, I told them no all Ive got is USB C. They said they didn’t know what they had and showed me the bottom of their phone and, sure enough, it’s USB C. They had no idea that only Apple kept making their own charge connector and that basically everyone else had settled on one charger/data port like two or three standards ago.
I love my car but it DOESN’T HAVE AN AUX JACK. Insanity. This fancy ass infotainment system with insanely delayed Bluetooth and I can’t use my amazing Bluetooth-to-3.5mm adapter that connects INSTANTLY and doesn’t lag two second behind when I hit pause and ughhhh
Well, then that is truly bullshit. I wouldn’t even buy a car without one. Have you checked your manual? Maybe there’s a hidden wire somewhere that you can attach an extension cable to.
I have indeed read the manual :c it’s wild too, cuz it’s a super high end stock system with a million speakers and a subwoofer hahaha. Checked forums and yep… USB and Bluetooth ONLY :c
I could swap it out but it’s whatever, it’s not worth the effort and money. It sounds excellent, I just wish the BT was fast like my cheap BT-Aux adapter…
