I've been so happy with the Jagcd-hf unit i purchased and installed that I've been recommending it every time one of us asks about a Bluetooth conversion.

As mentioned in a recent post, this item is showing back ordered on the website. I don't want to recommend something that is Discontinued or unobtainable so i gave them (it's sold by discount stereo) a call to ask about it.

as always they were nice, here's the scoop:

if a product gets Discontinued it will be removed from their website. This is still available, but they are dealing with heavy demand.

demand exceeds supply and manufacturing capacity. As of today, august 25, 2018, There are 17 units on order, they just got 10 of the modules. They are filling orders in order of request .

they told me that given demand, it's probably going to be on back order on the website - no end date in sight.

I asked "backorder - what does that mean? 6 months, 6 weeks, a year?" They responded "Oh no, 6 weeks should be more than enough to fill any order. Any one who orders one on back order may cancel for full refund anytime."

well if your like me, 6 weeks is a long time to wait, but at least we have an answer.

I figured that this update will help current owners understand the status for warranty claims, and help those trying to decide their best Bluetooth options with better defined status.

That's good to know; I've been considering getting something to replace the tape adapter I'm currently using.
