This was easy enough to set up, but whether it was because my region is too crowded with FM signals or it just wasn't very powerful, the quality of sound was mediocre. The music from my device sounded tinny and weak.

Works well for the most part, but sometimes you get quite a bit of static. A decent buy if on sale and your car doesn't have Bluetooth or AUX, but don't recommend at full price.

This really works well. Only issue is, it shoukd come with an additional adaptor so that it could be used with an Android or the new Iphone connection.

Works well, Easy to use. Only thing is, My New Samsung S20 doesn't have an earphone jack. Well, that's a Bust. But, it works fine with phones that have earphone jacks.

This didn’t work at all, it did nothing for me at all and it was over $30. I tried different stations to connect it to as well and it still didn’t work. I couldn’t even return it because there is only a 15 day return policy in the receipt.

It relies on radio signals to work, so it can be a bit unstable in certain areas, but works well overall

Complete GARBAGE

This thing is a piece of complete garbage. I had it about 3 inches under the radio and it wouldn't work on any radio station. You'd get horrible static on top of the music IF it even worked.

Got this for my BFs 90s Tacoma. You still hear quite a bit of static, but it's fairly unnoticeable if you're listening to heavier tunes. It's def not as clear as an aux hook-up, but I wouldn't expect it to! Very nostalgic & works great so far. :)

iSimple FM Transmitter

The iSimple FM Transmitter is an inexpensive product that does exactly what it is intended to do. With it I can easily transmit music, audio books, etc. from my iPhone SE to the FM radio of my 2004 Ford Escape, which still has the factory radio so of course doesn't directly support Bluetooth or auxiliary inputs. The sound is good even when transmitting to a frequency that has a competing broadcast station. Note that it only comes with the old-style mini RCA plug, so if you have one of the newer iPhones you'll need to use the adapter (that comes with the phone, not supplied with this product) to plug into the lightning jack.

Unit does as advertised. In my car a lot is lost from the phone to the FM to the speakers. Also if your power jack is inconveniently placed, the microphone has a hard time picking you up.

Worked as advertised, although the volume is a bit lower then I was expecting. Also the controls take a bit of getting used to.

The thing works, but after a while there will be static in the background of the audio. And the quality of the audio is ok.
