Bracketron - Roadtripper Car Audio Bluetooth FM Transmitter - Black

Poorly designed user experience: The display is upside down! The designer of the device apparently thinks that 12V cig lighter port would be to the left of the driver. But unless you are in the UK or Hong Kong, 12V ports are to the right of the driver. So when the device is plugged in, you have to read the display upside down. See attached picture. Poor quality output. The levels coming from the device are considerably less than say, the nearby radio stations on the dial would be. So if you change away from the FM transmitter to a regular station, be prepare to be blasted out of your seat. Low charging output. The trend of including two USB ports on 12V chargers even though the combined amperage is only 2A is also just stupid. An iPhone needs 2Amps to charge. So what is the purpose of the second port if it can't supply the juice? Oh, and one other thing, the display LED started failing about 6 months after I got the unit. It doesn't display the first digit of any 3 digit radio station frequency. Of course, I know that the first digit will either be 1 or nothing, but still, I assume that the rest of the LED indicators will fail soon. All in all, these is just a cheap, poorly made Chinese product. P.S. If you think the station I've got the device tuned to is 85.0, you would be wrong. It's set to 105.8.

I absolutely love this item i use it every time I'm in my car!!

Love this simplicity to pair with my iPhone and radio works great I highly recommend this product for hands free taken a phone call on the go

I needed a different option to listen to music from my phone in my old car apart from a hard wired connection through those old cassette tape adapters or the strange hybrid of a blutooth cassette adapter that needed to be charged ever other day to use...so I took a chance on this and apart from the occasional fuzzy signal due to tunnels and airports, it's exactly what I needed. It has a mic built in which I've tried a few times but have been told it can sound a little muffled. And if I wanted to hook up my old iPod or mp3 player (for whatever reason) which don't have a blutooth adapter built in, the device has an option to hardwire it in with a 3.5mm cable included. All in all, no regrets on this purchase.

Excellent option for those who don't have bluetooth built into the car. It is a great device for that reason however a few drawbacks. If plugged in, stations around it will become static-y. If you are using it for calls, its not the best from what I gather if not in a great range. I would be on the phone and get the other person would have a hard time hearing me saying it sounds like wind or static on my end. Overall a good pic but if for calls, better off investing in a bluetooth system for the car.

My old fm transmitter finally started going out after a few years of use. What killed the old one was having to unplug it and plug it back in as my car doesn’t power down the cigarette lighter plug. The Bracketron is one of the few that has an on off button and it’s amazing to not have to unplug all the time. It’s only downfall is the sound quality isn’t as good as some of the other ones and the buttons aren’t as easy to use.

This transmitter has good sound quality. My husband and I fumbled a bit initially getting it set up, but was smooth sailing from there. The pivoting function reduces the number of plug ins and pull outs of the transmitter from the adapter. Design looks sleek as well. Some frequencies were hard to maintain even though no local broadcast was located on that channel, some station tuning to get the music stable may be needed. Overall 4 ☆☆☆☆

This has proved to be very disappointing. It is difficult to stay connected to the phone (and only works with one phone at a time), keeps popping out from the convenience outlet, and provides very low level of power to the USB outlet. It is better than nothing, but the old Jabra and other systems worked much better. (Ours got old and worn out after five years, so we had to replace it.)
