Customers are saying
Customers have good things to say about the Blustream Bluetooth FM Modulator's Bluetooth connectivity and ease of use, with many citing simple setup and installation. However, a significant number of customers reported issues with sound quality, experiencing static and weak signal strength, impacting overall reception. Some also felt the price was too high for the performance received. The product's performance appears to be inconsistent, with positive experiences overshadowed by widespread concerns about audio quality.

Limited channel selection
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It connected via Bluetooth without a problem. The limited channel selection may be its biggest flaw. I couldn't get an open channel and constantly had static while playing. Tried in my wife's Pontiac and my Cadillac with the same issues.

OK choice for cars w/o AUX port
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I prefer a bluetooth adapter that has only an Aux port connection, and a separate microphone that you can position inside the car. This helps isolate noise if you like to have a windows cracked at times. Overall the fit and finish was nice, but the idea of two long cables hanging all over my dash wasn't that appealing. Many connectors you can find out there include right angle Aux plugs, which give better options for cable routing, and some even include spring-shaped cables that won't bind up or interfere with center console shift knobs and other controls. Bottom line, this will work well as a gift if the recipient isn't one to buy something like this on their own. If you are choosing for your own vehicle, look at the layout of the dash and you might find something more appropriate. Also, if you drive between multiple large communities, you may want something with a larger range of FM Stations, so you don't run into interference randomly.

Solid converter for what you're paying for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Blustream Bluetooth FM Modulator is what you would expect for a lower end converter. It works well when directly connected to a phone rather than bluetooth. In addition, it has set radio stations compared to other converters that allow you to set your own, and the stations only range from 106.7 to 107.9. In busier areas these stations are occupied by popular radio stations so it's practically impossible for the converter to work. I would recommend this product as long as you're familiar with the stations in your local area.

This works great easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This bluetooth transmitter works great. All you do is plug into your car and select a station. Easy to use. Push button for Siri, can listen to your music via bluetooth and take calls through your car speakers.

Great Alternative
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son has an '03 Nissan. No Bluetooth, so he used to carry a large portable speaker for his music. He asked for this for Christmas and I did some research. It turned his old stereo into a modern Bluetooth equipped car that he can make calls win and listen to his music, handsfree. A great solution. Lost a star for the sound quality but hey- it's better than nothing!

Works well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My car does not have bluetooth. This is why I purchased this FM Modulator. My phone will connect soon as I start the car. It is possible to accidentally change the frequency by mistake. But still is good choice is you car stereo does not have Bluetooth

Immediately returned
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't have an aux port in my Jeep and I thought this would be a great quick and easy way to stream my music. It was mixed reviews online but I was optimistic. It was easy to setup but I could only pick up one static station. Maybe it's ideal for someone living in a rural area but I live in a major city and 2 of the 4 stations were actual radio stations so needless to say I could stream from those. I returned that thing so quick! Don't do it, just invest in a new radio.

Great for older cars
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have an older vehicle that did not come with a BT system this is for you. It works flawlessly. The only limitation is you only get 3 frequencies to choose from.

Hit or Miss
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally wasn't super pumped for the price but thought it would be worth it since it has a mic. Got it, was overly excited that I threw away the box because I didn't think I would need it only to discover the mic doesn't work. It's a hit or miss and only works when needed (more misses than hits really). Talked to a best buy associate hoping it was just the device and apparently that's just how it is. It's a great bluetooth adaptor (the only reason it's getting 2 stars) but the mic doesn't work properly and not worth the money I spent.

Do not buy!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my truck to get Bluetooth. The unit has only a few preset stations you can use, but there wasn't any way to get it to work without major static. Phone calls have so much static you can't hear person on other line. Audio for music was just as bad. Thought because it was expensive it would be good, but it turned out to be expensive paperweight.

Great purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this. It works well. I had to mount the Bluetooth to my dash with a 3m strip because it kept sliding off. I did that and no problems now

There must be something better out there.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just bought a 2003 Infiniti FX35, in perfect condition, and as it is an SUV, it sits higher and needs the Blue Tooth for LEGIT conversation on the road. Your salesperson directed me to this item, I spent over $50 as it broke in the first days of having it. It never sounded Good and was a piece of junk.
