It’s a hearty, sleek, easy to operate piece of equipment. Love the frequency seeking option that chooses the best frequency for the moment in regards to where you are. Sometimes it can be finicky, but just press the seek button again and it picks out another good frequency. The sound is great with the Bluetooth and better with the aux line in. Works well with iPhone functionality.

Sounds is amazing !!! no static compared to usual ones for cars without an aux port. I love that it also has a usb port ! the downside and might just me my car or the one that I received is the pulug in is a little loose so if i accidently knock it it turns off and I have to let it reconnect blutooth . But again it might just be my plug in port on my car. Otherwise this thing is a life saver !!!! Best Ive ever used in my car !

My biggest concerns were the sound and the bluetooth connection. I am very happy with both. The sound has been just as clear as any built in bluetooth system I've ever connected to. As long as you can find a frequency that has no existing radio station transmitting to it, the sound will be clear. The physical connection is also great. My car lighter jack is a little bit loose and I was worried that this would move around a lot but it has been very solid. The bluetooth connection is also fantastic. As soon as I get in the car it pairs to my phone and I'm good to go. As a bonus I didn't know there was a microphone and the first time I got a call and it rang over the radio I was a little surprised but I picked up the phone and it worked. It isn't better than a nice bluetooth headset, but it works. I am 100% satisfied.

A Powerful Tool for Old School Car guys!

We have a few older cars in our collection, and this little device is perfect for anyone that doesn't want to gut and replace the OEM stereo unit in a old classic car with an FM/Cassette Radio. Once you find an free channel, you're set and the audio quality is better than one might anticipate. When traveling between towns we did notice that the only time the audio quality was abysmal came when in range of a station transmitting on the same frequency. For example, you set it at 88.9 because it was free in the area you were just in, but you enter a town and now you've got some interference coming from one of the local stations. Other than that though, this thing is solid. Definitely worth the asking price, keeps you from modding and potentially ruining your car (if you're doing a restoration, this is seems like the go-to), or having to break the bank for aftermarket head units.

My 2009 ls 460 has Bluetooth 4 cell phone but not for media which is too bad because it has a great sound system but now thanks to this really cool device an upgrade from my last one I got at the hardware store it works a lot better it just the channel just slightly so that the reception is instead again more greatly improving the sound quality

This works largely as expected. The radio has to be turned up about twice normal volume when playing through this but not a big deal. The gooseneck tends to droop somewhat after a bit and has just enough flex range because it is short. The screen is useless in direct sun. The auto frequency scan is a useful feature because you will likely have to change frequency as you drive and this feature makes it very easy. Calls are about the same as normal speakerphone in a car. Seems very well made. About as good as these things can be as a workaround to native Bluetooth.

Great little product if you need a quick solution to add bluetooth to your car if it doesn't already have it. Easily just attach to the cigarette lighter hole and it will automatically look for a compatible station for you then just turn to that station and you're able to use your radio like a Bluetooth speaker! Easy set up and easy to use!

It works, connects easily to phone and very easy to set up to a station. Only down side is a very noticeable static sound that is very sensitive to position or how many people are in the car, where my hands are etc. If my hand is next to it, little to no static, while I'm driving though it can be a little off putting. Overall it works and if you're good at drowning out white noise then awesome. I mostly use it for navigation and usually still go for the radio, anyone know how to resolve static?

I use it to listen to music and connect my phone easily to the car, I definitely recommend connecting the aux from the device to the aux on your car as it sounds much clearer, and I enjoy the battery tracking feature it comes with!

Makes for fun when on the road and sharing favorite music with others. No cords involved. All Bluetooth.
I got mine as a gift and liked it so much I gifted one to my kid.
Super simple to use...just plug it in the lighter, tune to the channel you want to use and bang, static free music. I even stream radio sometimes for clarity.

I have a 2003 Infinit M45 that is almost impossible to replace the stock radio. So I had to go with this option. This little guy is a bit on the big side but works pretty well. The only complaint I have is that it does tend to hiss at times. If I find another available frequency that does help. Overall a good buy if you have no other option.

One negative thing only, if I'm listening to my music on my phone via bluetooth and a call comes in after I hang up and go back to listening to my music then the connection becomes intermittent and I have to disable then enable the bluetooth to work properly, unless I use the aux cord which I can tell a difference in the volume if I use the aux cord vs bluetooth l....well i guess that's 2 negative things
