    Great item. Music is clear. Requires no cable, Bluetooth pairs automatically. Have had 2 others that cost more but we’re nowhere near as good

    Item was easy to set/pair to my sons car, there is static at times but I think that is more on the radio station end of it. Overall good quality for the price

    Not only does it transmit my phone's Bluetooth through the FM frequency on my older model car's stock stereo, it doubles as a charger.

    I own a 2006 vehicle without a built-in Bluetooth yet so this one really works for me using the FM transmitter! It plays my songs from my iPhone but can also read music files from a flash drive which I use more than my phone. Sound quality is good and clear enough without any disruption despite being wireless. Though it does recommend using aux input for much clearer sound but I don’t want any messy cords in my car. It automatically plays music from the flash drive then automatically plays the song in my phone once it’s connected. To playback from the flash drive, simply press the pause button on this device then for a minute, it’ll switch back from iPhone songs to the ones stored in the flash drive. The only negative feedback I can think of is the mic sensor is not good enough to pick up my voice. I have to speak louder in my car which most of the time, I’ll just switch to using speakerphone instead. But it’s still a great buy for other cool features like monitoring battery output and recalling the parking spot and more!

    Good Device If It Fits In Your Power Port

    Bought this product for use in a 2006 Acura/Honda. Due to the square shape of the transmitter, It would not fit into the car's hidden power port contained within the retractable door in front of the gear shifter. Our power port has a cap/door and when it opened to the right its hinge interfered with the right side of the transmitter's face. Fortunately the transmitter fit in the secondary power port within the car's center console. Be sure to see if the transmitter will fit in your car's power port before leaving the Best Buy parking lot in order to save yourself a drive back to the store to return the product if need be. Note that the initial radio station "recommended" by the transmitter for pairing with the car's stereo was partially in use by a distant radio station, so there was a lot of static when we tried to play our music from our I Phones. Once we switched the "recommended" radio station on the transmitter to a station that was not in use, the static went away and the sound was great. We were able to play music and audio content from our I Phones (both a series 6 and Series 10) without issue. Other reviews noted this issue. If you have problems with the transmitter, read the other reviews for trouble shooting advice before returning it. We have not tried the phone feature yet. This particular model does not have an on/off feature like the F2 FM Pro model. We noticed the car slightly hesitated to start after leaving the transmitter plugged in for a few days. Other reviews reported the same issue and commented that the transmitter may be drawing energy from the car battery when not in use. Because there is not an on/off switch on this particular model, we now unplug the transmitter when not in use and have had no further issues with the car battery. We are very happy that we can now listen to music/audio from our smartphones while in the car thanks to this wonderful device.

    It connects very well to my iPhone, however, once you raise the volume you can hear plenty of interference. It’s pretty good for phone calls too.

    Surprised me.

    I didn’t have much hope for any of these FM transmitters as I had used several in the past that turned out to be garbage. But I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised. The problem with any of these is, as you drive around, the station you choose to transmit to gets better or worse reception. This causes a small amount of static “snow” noise that can get louder the closer you get to a station broadcasting to that frequency. The key is choosing a good station to start because you’re not likely to change stations due to a) the fact that, if you drive a fair range back and forth daily, the static pops up and it’s tedious to try to update the transmitter frequency that often and b) the design for changing the frequency isn’t very user friendly. So try to choose a good channel. This may require testing several frequencies as you drive your normal routes. Overall, I would suggest this product. It initially pairs easily, transmits well and re-pairs quick if/when I unplug it from the lighter port. Pros: - transmission is pretty strong - initial setup is simple Cons: - physical design is poor as the USB ports are above the display making it difficult to read. I know I could simply turn it upside down but then the display is upside down. I assume they designed it this way to move heat away from the internal hardware. - updating the frequency that it transmits to can be annoying

    I bought a different transmitter from an auto parts store that would constantly disconnect and re-pair. This one is almost perfect, my only small complaint is that it takes about 30 seconds to a minute after turning the car off for the audio to switch back to my iPhone, but I think that’s more an issue with my phone being paired to two devices than the transmitter itself. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone who needs a Bluetooth solution for their car.

    Did what I needed at first. My Bluetooth went out in my vehicle and I saw this and was so happy at the idea of having it back for about $20. You get what you pay for. It instantly worked great and I had my music and hands free phone back. But after a few weeks it started emitting a high pitched noise that never stopped. Even when music played you could still hear it. I could ignore or drown it out at times but just gives me a headache so rarely use it now. Internet search reveals this is common for all of these. Not this specific brand or item necessarily so not a bad $20 spent but won’t use it much anymore
