    Random blinking number and clunky features

    It CONSTANTLY BLINKS with a random number (11.6, NOT even the station the FM transmitter is connected to, which would be useful if not blinking). It is incredibly distracting. While trying to get that to turn off I clicked twice and it randomly calls a number on your phone (why would I want to call a random person?). Also, the knobs are pretty stiff and seem like they would be tough to use while driving. I thought the point of this was to be safer but with the blinking lights with useless numbers and weird controls, I feel like it would be more of a danger than anything. WHY would anyone want a blinking light in their periphery while driving?? I am not sure who designs the features on these but they seem to have made some awful choices. It works OK if you just want to play music, though you have to play with the various volumes if you don't want to hear static. My iPhone 12 mini connected to bluetooth fine and I got the FM transmitter working with my radio but that is the extent of what is good about the product. It is also heavy so drags down my vent (possibly the vent style).

    I wanted to upgrade from a very inexpensive bluetooth gizmo whose sound game through the gizmo, not the car's radio. It was never loud enough to hear really well. The Car and Driver FM transmitter is moderately priced, easy to figure out, and works well. I can plug my phone into it, charge the phone, and mount it on the air vents for GPS directions all at the same time. Sound quality is good.

    Easy to use and setup and i like the way it auto connects when turned on. Good sound quality. My only complaint is that it really cant hold a phone with the cheap vent clip. It keeps falling off which unfortunately is the reason i went with this one over the other smaller outlet style ones

    This is our 3rd attempt at buying a product to stream music to our car. This one seems to be pretty good quality and I’m pretty happy with it so far. Not a fan of having to hang it on the vent mainly due to it not really working well with my accord and there’s also a slight buzz when the music has a pause or when it’s turned down.

    Work well for what we needed it to do. Pretty straight forward and easy to use. Alternate attachments would have been beneficial as slightly heavy for Vent.

    It beats buying an entire new radio for 5 times the price. Since it only has one mode it’s prone to frequency interference and thus static. However, when it doesn’t have static it works just fine, a little quiet, but not too noticeable. The prongs stay secure into the vents of your car and it solidly holds your phone

    Everything works as intended and always reconnects when I start the vehicle. It’s great to hear the music from my phone coming out of the speakers. Works great with GPS also.

    Really nice for what it is. Bluetooth connects by itself when you start your car so that’s a huge plus. Calls don’t sound that best and the vent clip isn’t that sturdy but over all really nice.

    The assembly of the bluetooth is actually pretty good. Being that I drive a 03 Chevy Tahoe the clips for the device will not stay on the vent to hold my phone. I have a Galaxy Note 9 and the cradle does grab the phone but clips are rubber material and dont hold to well. Other than that I love it because you don't have to worry about charging it. Pretty easy set up and your phone will automatically connect to it most of the time. Sound quality will depend on what station you link it with for your music to transmit through. I like and it seems to do the job to listen to your favorite music from your phone or other bluetooth devices for great streaming.

    I’ve been looking for this forever I’ve never knew what it was or what it was called but It turned my 2004 Honda Accord into a Bluetooth receiving device which is very convenient and nice. I mean it’s not perfect and I do have some static at times but it’s better than what I had before which is nothing..

    This radio transmitter is useful to charge my phone. My radio lost its ability to show the station numbers so I never got to test out my music. So sad…..It has two cord outlets for charging.

    It is nice if you have an older car that can't connect to your phone. Only issue with me was it did not open wide enough to use with my phone whit it was in the case. I have a iPhone pro max with an Otterbox case. I returned it because it was too small.

    Depending on how your cars air vents are set up it might not mount to the vent. Other than that it's a great idea for road trips for cars without aux or phones without a headphone jack so you dont have to unpair a phone from Bluetooth or older cars.

    I didn't even know anything like this existed until I was scrolling through the clearance section online. It's awesome, great price, and was super easy to set up and start using. Really haven't used the phone mount yet but that's because I have a bulky uneven phone case on on my phone, which works for me but not for that phone mount. I love that I can now listen to my music and hear my phone calls on my 2008 factory stereo.

    Connects simply, good concept, connects automatically if your Bluetooth is on. However it didn’t hold my phone easily, and popped out of the vent seemingly too heavy. I have an iPhone 11, so not a huge fat phone. I still use it. One other small thing was the blocking of the entire air vent so if you have AC or heater running, may affect your device.

    I bought this item because it was meant to be a wireless charger as well as the FM radio transmitter. Unfortunately it doesn't sit properly to charge my device (Galaxy S10). The vent clip also isn't sturdy enough to stay on my cars vent, and will fall off after 20 minutes or so. It does transmit the FM signal perfectly though so I guess there is that.

    It gets the job done but I will be honest and say that I do get static in some areas. Otherwise it’s a great product and I’m glad to have it.
