PLUG IT, PAIR IT, PLAY IT, SHARE IT - Your music, wherever you are!

Tunelink is the most advanced in-car audio interface that provides a wireless Bluetooth audio link between your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and your vehicle’s sound system. TuneLink is universal, operating over FM or direct connect to your auxiliary (AUX) input.

Incorporating a best-of-class Bluetooth transceiver, FM transmitter and advanced fast-charge isolated USB charging port, TuneLink brings real innovation to a digital audio accessory market that is crowded with clunky docks, cabled solutions and poor-performing dongle-based FM transmitters.
