Default Bluetooth receiver recommendations

I am looking to replace my Rockford Fostgate RFBTRCA on my Road King because it chirps super loud and can’t be controlled. Does anyone (without a head-unit) have other good sounding recommendations for a Bluetooth to RCA reciever ?

How’s it sound? And to confirm, no chirp? The RF sounds great but the chirp scares the s**t outta anyone around when I turn on the bike.

I don't know if this idea would work or not but do you think installing a turn on delay for your amp might dodge the chirp? Maybe something like a PAC TR4?

Low Voltage Trigger Module

Well I timed it and the “chirp” series seems to last about 5 sec… and the retailer for the PAC TR-4 says it provides a 2-3 second delay…. So I think I’ll try the JL Audio replacement. I’ll post the results for others that have this headache.

I have had good luck wiring the relay listed below for an amp turn on delay. It will give you 10 seconds after power up to activate the remote on the amp.

Or you could run an RCA volume control between the BT module and the amp. If you have a location to mount the device.
