Decent sound, great connectivity, no interference. Really great little transmitter. The blue circle light is cheap and annoying, especially when you have to turn it off each trip, bit otherwise pretty good. The skip track feature is useful but over complicated
Impressed with this,
– plug in
– find it in my phones Bluetooth
– tune radio to that station
Done, no messing around. After that, it Connects to my phone automatically so I just need to hit play on my phone when I get in the car and that’s it
It means I can charge and play music at same time too since no aux cable.
I have an old car without an audio jack so needed this radio transmitter to play music through bluetooth on my phone. After a lot of researching and trying out different alternatives I settled on this – I think its a good solution. I’ve used it for about a month and some change. After finding a channel (I used 95.5 which seemed very stable and clear) this device works every time I switch on the car, automatically connecting to my phone and can play Spotify through it. Clarity is good, fiddliness isn’t too high (apart from a bit of setting up), the rotatable dial works well to select the channel and the unit isn’t too big. I found the set up a tad annoying as the “do-it-all” call button seems to scroll through a menu of options but it isn’t clear from the instructions what they do. Eventually I figured out enough but clearer instructions would be great. Some people reported issues with volume and fuzziness but I think that might be due to how it was set up for them – the channel you choose is very important so spend some time experimenting as each region will have a different optimal channel.
3rd one I bought all still working great play music and take calls turns old radio to a dab through your phone I own a minibus company so is being used daily 5sta
For the money I can’t fault it. Being using it for a good five to six weeks now and it’s not let me down one. It’s allowed me to transform my car radio into a Bluetooth device and works really well for hands-free telephone calls as well. I wouldn’t look anywhere else other than here if you need a bluetooth device for your car just buy this one it won’t let you down. Set up instructions or poor but it’s easy to set up – a two minute job. Very much worth of purchase price.
Bought this for my car after realising that my old one wasn’t powerful enough to charge my prissy new Pixel phone.
I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and had no problems with it. The quality is good, it’s sturdy and neat, and it was very easy to set up.
I have 2 cars, both can’t play music over the inbuilt Bluetooth. One is 2.5k to upgrade the head unit and the other needs an outdated pcmcia to sd card etc. I bought this as a last attempt before having to spend money on outdated technology and I WAS BLOWN AWAY!! The sound quality is amazing, it’s easy to set up, program your radio, connect your phone to it, and hit play. It automatically reconnects when I get back in, it keeps the same station tuned. It fast charges my phone and the bass boost is brilliant. I will be buying another.
Edit: they replaced my faulty device and it does work fine. A bit of let down is the noise that interferes with the device audio.
This works great for getting your vast music library off your mobile phone onto your cars sound system though there is some audio quality lose due to transmitting the music from the phone via bluetooth and then converting it to an fm transmission.
I would recommend using the bass boost to help counteract the audio loss and the sound of the road.
It happily charges two devices fast via the usb sockets so no excuse with having your phone battery run flat.
It has controls for adjusting volume, pause/play and changing tracks forward and back.
It also has functions to work as a handsfree device to answer the phone but since I dont use the phone at all while driving I have not tested this.
If I had any criticism for this it would have to be:
1. It has an always on pulsating light which is dim during the day but depending on the car maybe distracting to the driver while driving at night.
2. it should switch controls for volume and track forward./back. Currently you can just twiddle the dial and it changes the volume but if you press the play button twice and then twiddle the dial it will change track. This is pointless as realistically speaking you would use the big volume knob on the radio to change the volume after setting the FM transmitters volume to a balanced volume with the in car radio and cd player. This would make it alot easier to play and change tracks while driving as double pressing the play button is destracting. It doesn’t really bother me as I remove all songs from the playlist before I set off.
All in all I think its a great bit of kit with a few shortcomings but well worth the purchase.
