Easy to use - plug it in - connect Bluetooth and go!

Before trying this unit, I tried mini units from two other manufacturers, one of the manufacturers was a direct competitor to Ottocast.This unit is very easy to setup and requires about five minutes for pairing two iPhones. Once both iPhones are successfully paired to Ottocast Mini, here’s how it works.While iPhone-1 is connected and playing music or another CarPlay function, press the button located on face/top of Ottocast Mini. Pressing the button disconnects iPhone-1 and then connects iPhone-2. While iPhone-2 is connected and playing music or another CarPlay function, pressing the button will disconnect iPhone-2 and connect iPhone-1. Seems to have a “Round Robin” selection process, similar to how a 4-way stop sign operates with road traffic. I have only paired and connected two iPhones at the same time as I am not sure how it might work with more than two iPhones.This unit works precisely how I think it should work with two iPhones. This is the only unit that I was able to find that includes a button that switches control from one iPhone to another iPhone, once both units are paired.I am unsure of longevity/reliability of the unit since it was just installed today. However, if you have more than one iPhone that needs to be connected on a frequent basis, this would be my number one choice!
