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.

It breaks in and out with a lot of static around towers, but other than that it is amazing.

$59.99 for this, or $64 for Bluetooth stereo install from Best Buy.
Bought this, and realized that installing the stereo I had was only $5 more. Why is this product so expensive?
It felt kind of cheaply made, the original radio in the vehicle had static when tuned for this and listening to audio.

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

It works well. A little bit of feedback (could be the radio) and quality wasn’t quite as great as I hoped (again could be the car radio) for the price, but it definitely suits the purpose. Installation was easy and I like that it offers both fm and aux option.

It worked OK with static in rural areas. In metro areas where there are large concentrations of FM radio stations it couldn't find an unused station to broadcast through. Nothing but static. Replace your stereo with a bluetooth compatible model instead. I returned it and wouldn't recommend one of these to a friend.

Does the job but not what I was looking for. Reception isn't as clean as I wanted to be. There is a bit of static in the background when volume is low but it does sound better when louder. Don't like that it only has 4 frequencies. During long drives, I've run into occasions where none of the 4 work due to active radio stations.

Since my 2009 Honda does not have bluetooth capability, I could not answer any calls while I was driving. This product works beautifully. The calls are clear. It is very easy to answer a call and disconnect when finished with just a push of a button. It also has the ability to charge your phone.

Did not work for us

This transmitter did not work for us. It only has 4 options of stations to broadcast to. In our area, 2 of the options already have local channels. The receiver is on a cord that is supposed to mount on top of your dash. The cord was too short to reach, putting it in a poor position. The 2 remaining available channels had poor reception which made the music constantly fallout. I did not like the performance or the physical unit. I had bought 2 units and returned both since they did not work well in either vehicle I tried.

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.

I haven’t fully made up my mind if this was worth the purchase price. Because we have local stations that coincide with some of the pre-programmed options on this we really only had one channel to try and it’s often very staticy.

Poor overwrite strength

The device works well enough unless I'm near a tower for one of the stations it allows you to overwrite. That being said you're very limited on the stations you can choose and it sometimes allows the radio to play over your device. It's just "ok".
