Hi forum ,

I bought this high quality version ( link below ) from aliexpress.

it turned out to be a one board blob-chip 1.5 version .

It does work very well for a WHILE only !! but can even quit working after 10 seconds ……..

so NOT advisable !!

I've also found adapters that require a continuous data transmission to keep the connection alive. These are low quality adapters, despite they work well.

I can confirm KONNWEY quality, but I just have one piece and few reports from users.
Another discrete quality adapter is Vgate iCar. I bought versions 2 and 3, they work well and I have many positive reports from users about the version 2 bluetooth.
Carista is a very good quality adapter.

In some week, I'll send my personal report about all adapters tested in last development years.

KONNWEI -- Works on Samsung S24/S24+/S24 Ultra series // Does not work on Samsung S22/S22+/S22 Ultra series

I haven't checked other phones (the problem is that Konnwei won't connect via Bluetooth to the S22 series phone only through the application and this application only connects to a device already connected via Bluetooth (the application itself won't connect directly to the device, unfortunately, so it won't work). This isn't a problem with the S22 phone because the Chinese manufacturer clearly writes that it only connects via the application / The S24 series works, it will connect without the application, and the S22 won't do anything even after a factory reset.

Interesting, I didn't know some adapters couldn't connect directly to some smartphone.
It's probably something related to the smartphone bluetooth stackup that's usually customized by the smartphone manufacturer.

Even on AliExpress showing won't connect (but as I wrote, it connects to S24 & Tab S8, and S22, as in the picture, unfortunately throws an error)

So it's related to the adapter itself.
Unfortunately the APP now doesn't implement the bluetooth pairing function, so that adapter cannot be used.
