    This would work a lot better if you live out of range of most stations. I took it on a road trip and constantly had to switch the station we had it tuned to so the local radio stations didn’t take over. Lots of static would happen sometimes but not others and I couldn’t figure out why. So close to being a success, and yet so far.

    A must for your car. Especially older cars. I have an old school 99 Tahoe with cassette player that this allows me to stream anything online. Plus it has two USB ports that allow you to download your music library to a flash drive and play it.

    Easy to sync with most devices and provides a clear signal to the radio. The microphone is just OK. People seem to have a hard time hearing me when I use the speakerphone function, so I tend to not use it. Love that it has 2 USB ports. Very please with it.

    I bought this so I could stream Pandora in my 2006 Kia Sorento. It works great for streaming, however, is a bit staticty when using for hands-free. Overall, a great purchase

    Good I think it would work if there was a free FM station to use but around me there isn't. The charger works great though

    I have a car that is just old enough to not have an aux cord. This device is a game changer when it comes to listening to podcasts or music on my commute. I have it placed inside of my center console and it works perfectly! The two charging ports have come in handy big time.

    Very low profile design, and easy to set up. Buttons on it are clicky and display is clear. The extra USB port is helpful as well - both driver and passenger can have phones plugged in to charge. Or you could use it to recharge something else.

    The unit works very well, the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that when you are in a 95.1 area it jumps back and forth from Bluetooth to radio...…….all in all a great device

    This unit works nice for the price. I made this purchase so I would have the capability to talk on my phone (hands free) in my old 96 truck. I am satisfied with this purchase.

    Had a cheaper version of this before. Worked great. Thought this one with its added features (like vehicle marking) would be a good upgrade. It was. Highly recommend this if you have an older stereo head unit that isn’t Bluetooth capable.

    Works great as long as you find that project FM station that is clear and with no static. Highly recommend for people that don’t have Bluetooth in their cars like me. I can now Stream my music through my phone and make calls hands-free, it works!

    I bought this for my older car so I can listen to my own music. Withstands the Florida heat which is a plus in my book. Usually these things burn out quickly in Florida. I also love the dual charging ports since my car only has one port.

    Good enough but not crystal clear

    I have a 2001 Toyota. Basic CD player radio. No bluetooth or even auxiliary plug option. Even with my phone maxed out, you can barely hear it. Was considering pulling radio and at least taping in to the rear to allow me to plug in phone via aux cable. This bypasses all that. Sometimes the sound quality is staticky but usually clears up. I don't know if a more expensive unit would do any better. Meets my needs
