QuestionMy car is older. No Bluetooth, no place to plug in an aux cable. Will this actually transmit my music from my phone to the car radio?
Asked 5 years ago by Tramay.
- Answer Yup. Basically it makes a radio station that is connected to your phone. I honestly love mine. It costs a cup holder but is worth it to have my phones music and GPS playing inside my car speakers
