There is a option to use Btr5 microphone instead headphones built in microphone? I'm using Btr5 + Sony Mdr 1A for calls and I want to try Fiio microphone.
Dear friend,

You could try to turn off the wire function option via the FiiO Control app for help:

If your car stereo accepts bluetooth then why would you need a mediator between your phone and the stereo? No, the BTR5 is not a transmitter, so it can't re-transmit the signal received. There is no point in doing so anyway. Even if the BTR5 was a transmitter, and if the car stereo does not accept LDAC, then there is absolutely no advantage in having LDAC in the BTR5 since it wouldn't transmit to the stereo anyway. You can only connect the BTR5 via cable to your car stereo if there is an AUX input. Or simply connect your phone to the car stereo via bluetooth without looking for a mediator in between. I'm still thinking whether I've actually understood your question.

May old stock stereo sounded way better with my phone 📱 via dac connected to aux port. Now my new Sony car 🚗 stereo with Android auto 🚘 has no aux port, only usb. Music does not sound 🔉 good as it once did with ⌚️ the dac. Im trying anything to make it sound 🔉 better. I think as is only paying in aac codec which sounds horrible as I'm used to hi-res

If your new Sony does not have 3.5mm aux input, I would check if it has RCA input in the back of the device. Phone LDAC-> BTR5 -> BRT5 3.5mm out -> RCA.

If wired AA or playing directly from USB thumb drive does not sound sufficient, I would question the sound system as whole.

No. The device you connect via bluetooth is a source material. Connecting our car stereo would mean it's the source material and you're wanting to use headphones, which is most places, having both ears covered while driving is illegal.

If you wanted to connect to your stereo via USB, 3.5mm, or 2.5mm and connect your phone to the BTR to be able to play through your stereo, sure. There are more elegant solutions, but it would work that way. This situaton is very dependent on what kind of inputs your car stereo has.

It seems the USB-C port on my BTR5 is very wobbly and any movement causes it to disconnect. I don't think it's the cables fault!
I guess bluetooth is not an option for you? Is it still under warranty? If you are very handy, I suppose you can pry it open and replace the usb c port. Offer it on classifieds for trade with usb dongle?

Dear friend,

You could check via other usb cable and connect to other device. If the issue remains, you could try to contact support@fiio.com or the seller for help. Thank you.

Best regards

I have owned the BTR5 2021 for almost a year. Thanks for the last update of the firmware so that it can be recognized by Tidal app in android device. Recently, I have change my android phone to Samsung S22 Ultra and tried to connect the BTR5 2021 through the USB-C cable. The Tidal app cannot recognize the BTR5 2021 and cannot do the MQA decode. However, if I using the USB Audio Player Pro app in the phone, it can successfully connect with the BTR and do the MQA decode.

The Tidal app version using: 2.72.0
Android version: Android 12

Grateful if you could have advice on my case.

Thank you.
