Anker ROAV - SmartCharge F2 Pro FM Transmitter - Black

Q: What is the difference between this model (F2 Pro) and the regular F2? Is this one worth twice as much as the regular one?

A: I don’t believe it’s worth twice as much. However, the F2 Pro has two auxiliary buttons on the left side, one for turning it on and off, and the other one for automatically changing the current station to a “better” one. Although I feel like it just picks a random station, it can still be useful. Another difference is that this version has two IQ fast charging ports, one for USB-C and the other one for regular USB-A, while the regular F2 has only one port with IQ charging and both ports are for USB-A. I’ve read that the sound quality was improved in this version, but can’t quite confirm that information.

Q: how do I pair this device to my car and my phone?

A: Plug the transmitter into your car, turn your radio and transmitter to the same station, (the instructions told me to turn them to 88.3 FM), then turn your bluetooth on your phone on, then find the device name on your phone, connect, then play music from your phone and you can answer calls through it as well.

Q: Does it turn on and off by it self when you start and turn off your car? I recently got one of the newer iphones and i have an older car and I just want to know if it turns on and automatically connects to your phone and turns off automatically.

A: I have a 97 Honda CRV and it does turn off automatically when I turn off the car. When I turn the car back on the decive will connect to my phone if Bluetooth is on I have a Note 10+, and It will make a sound to show it is connected.

Q: Does this have a microphone

A: Yes it does. It also has noise cancellation built in. I use it in a 96 Mustang GT convertible and the people on the other end couldn’t even tell that I was driving down the interstate while on the phone with them.

Q: If left plugged into lighter/charge port after turning off car, will this F2 Pro drain battery over time?

A: So far, it has not drained my battery. Plus, the F2 Pro actually turns off ENTIRELY once your car is off. I have left my charger in the port with my phone connected still and when the car's lights turn off after taking my keys out the ignition (you know, when your radio cuts off and everything), the juice stops flowing to my phone immediately.

Q: can i pair 2 cell phones to one unit.

A: Yes, but in my personal experience, not for both of them to play at the same time. If that's what you were asking. If not, then yes, you CAN connect two to one unit. What will happen though, is that you may be gambling a 50/50 as to who connects to it first. It turns off when your car is off, and on when the car turns on. It will make a sound if your volume is up to let you know that it has connected to ONE of the two devices.

Q: Can you play music off of a flash drive via the usb port?

A: No it uses Bluetooth to stream the music from your device. The usb is just for charging your phone or whatever usb charging device you use.

Q: does it have find your car and battery power like the F2

A: No. Those features are only available on the F2 model. I personally don't mind it since that's one less app I have to use. Plus having the USB-C charger is more worth it if you have a newer iPhone or another phone which has a cable that needs to be connected to a USB-C port.
