Summary:
A quality Bluetooth audio receiver by Mpow, combined with a car locator that is monitored using an app from your smartphone.
The receiver allows you to play audio using Bluetooth-less devices and make hands-free phone calls. In addition, it operates as a car finder (or device finder) using a designated app.
The brand: Mpow
The model: MPBH093AS
The pros:
- As a receiver it works well, great audio quality, strong Bluetooth connection with no flaws up to 10 meters, including obstacles.
- Offers a built-in microphone that can be a good solution as a hands-free speaker for your smartphone.
- The car locator feature works well and is easy to operate.
- The car locator can be used for other purposes (place it inside a house, luggage etc.).
The cons:
- More expansive compared to a simple Bluetooth audio receiver.
- The “Car Finder” app crashed several times, including when I try to open the maps.
- The “Car Finder” seems to be more accurate when you get far from the car, and less accurate when you’re near it.
- As a speaker the sound quality is good but people complained sometimes that they don’t hear me well, so as a hands-free speaker it’s a good but not perfect solution for everyone.

FAQ :
Q: Where can I download the “Car Locator” app?
A: Here are the links to download the app “Car Locator” –
- iOS version
- Android Version – It appears the app was removed from the Google Play store, so I advise trying to use the device with a different app. In addition, I contacted Mpow to learn what happens with that.
Q: Does the “Car Finder” works using Bluetooth?
A: To pair the device with your smartphone it should be connected via Bluetooth connection, but when you enable the “Car Finder” app, and go away from your vehicle, it is using GPS signals, so your smartphone must have a built-in GPS that is turned on.
Q: Can I pair this device with more than smart device at the same time?
A: Yes, this device connects with up to two smart devices at the same time (i.e. smartphones, tablets, computers, etc.).

A: When the battery is low the red indicator will be flashing quickly
Q: What happens when the device finished charging? How do I know the device finished charging?

Q: How to turn on the device in “Car Locator” mode?
