    Had to find different stations depending on which town I was in even if it had the same stations, people couldn't hear me thru the Bluetooth calling, audio sounded good, but it would disconnect over some bigger bumps, and it could be more user friendly with dedicated buttons.

    Installation was very simple, found an unoccupied FM station with the first scan. Transmits great from I Phone. The only problem I found was when answering my phone, the volume was very low, could not hear the voice of the caller. Had to turn the radio volume way up. When switching back to the music had to lower the volume as it was way to loud.

    A Great Purchase

    I bought this for my daughter as a replacement for her old one. She used to have this FM transmitter that was kinda cheaply made. Super light and by just looking at it, you can tell the quality ain’t as good as the Anker ROAV FM transmitter. It was a judgement call when one day I took a ride in her car and there was this very annoying sound, like a static, coming out from the cars speakers while music was playing. She told me that it’s coming from the fm transmitter she was using. From that very moment I opened the Best Buy website and browse for a dependable FM Transmitter with good reviews and it pointed me to one of my best purchases, the Anker ROAV FM Transmitter that my daughter really loves. Now, she’s enjoying her music full blast with non of that annoying static. Thanks to Best Buy for this wonderful product.

    Has a good Bluetooth connection, sounds good too. The male plug doesn’t fit well in the 12v receptical I’ve tried it in different vehicles it’s the device and the the vehicle it’s too small and struggles to make contact and will disconnect a lot which does get annoying.

    Works great, sometimes pick up static or music seems to depend on area driving. Few times others cannot hear but mostly good sound. Helps with vehicle that does not have all the technology.

    After looking for a way to get Bluetooth usability in my car I came upon this transmitter. It took little to set it up and I could easily change the FM channel transmitted to when the first setting ended up being a little less than desirable.

    I got the amazon echo for my car. Problem was, I do not have bluetooth in my car. This device fixes this problem. Plugs into the cigarette lighter and allows my to use my amazon echo on one of the unused FM stations.

    The unit work great. The only problem is if you are listening to something on your USB drive and you are connected with the bluetooth, if you get a notification, it pauses the music and takes a minute to start the music again.
