    There is always static and doesn’t always connect. I have bought cheaper ones that worked far better. Also, my iPhone always has issues, but my friend’s android sounds much better and has less connectivity issues. That sucks for me.

    Works as designed, simple to use and looks good. The transmission power doesn’t seem to be very good. Easily interrupted. The phone call Quality is basically useless. Not sure I’d get one again

    There is way too much background/static noise for it to be enjoyable to listen to. I tried multiple stations and never got it to sound clear so I had to return.

    Not very useful for commuters, only works well if you are just driving around your town and know that there are several stations that wont interfere

    It worked great until it just stopped working after 2 weeks. That was very disappointing because it was just what I was looking for.

    Best $30 for an old car.

    Just buy this. If you want to know more, read on. I've tried at least half a dozen of these over the years, ranging from battery powered to USB to car 12V. I've always had issues getting a strong enough signal that actually sounded good and solid and that didn't need to be retuned every ten miles. I'll just explain the setup and controls now. Find an empty frequency on your receiver, preferably with a weak or no signal on either side to avoid bleed over. Plug this in, set transmitter to same one. You instantly hear the static go to silence on the radio. Find the transmitter on your phone or device BT and pair. Done. Obviously this was done on an old car and I couldn't tell the difference between this, regular radio, and CD in sound quality. You can skip forward and back with the arrow buttons and the little phone icon button serves as play/pause when music is going. This, paired with two USB chargers, one being 2.4A and the ability to connect a USB flash drive to this directly makes it the best $30 upgrade you can do to an old car.

    Connectivity wasn’t a problem, but sound quality was. I had to keep changing the radio station…ultimately I decided to return it.

    I bought this for my Ford work van, which only has AM/FM radio. Replaced an old Belkin transmitter that stopped working. This one is awesome!! Very loud and clear, Bluetooth connects quickly, and usb charging is a plus. It's smaller than it looks in pictures, which I like. I use it mostly for music and navigation, handsfree calls are another plus!

    This was supposed to be a simple thing to do but it has not functioned properly at all. My phone will connect to it but you cannot hear at all. Not worth the money or time.

    Works great out the box but after some time of use it will sound worse. And you cannot drive far away from where you first turn it on, signal does not reach far.
