    Not well designed - has issues

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Poorly designed user experience: The display is upside down! The designer of the device apparently thinks that 12V cig lighter port would be to the left of the driver. But unless you are in the UK or Hong Kong, 12V ports are to the right of the driver. So when the device is plugged in, you have to read the display upside down. See attached picture. Poor quality output. The levels coming from the device are considerably less than say, the nearby radio stations on the dial would be. So if you change away from the FM transmitter to a regular station, be prepare to be blasted out of your seat. Low charging output. The trend of including two USB ports on 12V chargers even though the combined amperage is only 2A is also just stupid. An iPhone needs 2Amps to charge. So what is the purpose of the second port if it can't supply the juice? Oh, and one other thing, the display LED started failing about 6 months after I got the unit. It doesn't display the first digit of any 3 digit radio station frequency. Of course, I know that the first digit will either be 1 or nothing, but still, I assume that the rest of the LED indicators will fail soon. All in all, these is just a cheap, poorly made Chinese product. P.S. If you think the station I've got the device tuned to is 85.0, you would be wrong. It's set to 105.8.

      Thank you for your review.
      You can turn the FM Transmitter around, allowing you to have the display facing up. For best sound, we recommend turning the volume up on your device and then matching the sound on your radio, this will help when you switch over to normal radio. If you charge one device, it will charge your smartphone. Otherwise, you can charge two devices, it will just be at a slower pace. We offer a great warranty on our products. Please feel free to contact [email protected], one of our representatives would be happy to help you with a replacement.
      Thanks,

    This product is very easy to use and setup. However, the size of the buttons were too small and placed too close together for me. Admittedly, I do have large hands. The hands free calling feature was clear and easy to use. Although a bit quiet.

    Great Device For Music But...

    Excellent option for those who don't have bluetooth built into the car. It is a great device for that reason however a few drawbacks. If plugged in, stations around it will become static-y. If you are using it for calls, its not the best from what I gather if not in a great range. I would be on the phone and get the other person would have a hard time hearing me saying it sounds like wind or static on my end. Overall a good pic but if for calls, better off investing in a bluetooth system for the car.

    I needed a different option to listen to music from my phone in my old car apart from a hard wired connection through those old cassette tape adapters or the strange hybrid of a blutooth cassette adapter that needed to be charged ever other day to use...so I took a chance on this and apart from the occasional fuzzy signal due to tunnels and airports, it's exactly what I needed. It has a mic built in which I've tried a few times but have been told it can sound a little muffled. And if I wanted to hook up my old iPod or mp3 player (for whatever reason) which don't have a blutooth adapter built in, the device has an option to hardwire it in with a 3.5mm cable included. All in all, no regrets on this purchase.

    Does just what it's supposed to do. My 15 year old car now plays music from my phone via Bluetooth. Set up was very simple. I was up and running in about a minute. Only complaint would be it's plays a tad in the quiet side. Even with my phone volume on full, I need to turn my car speakers pretty loud.

    I got this to easily replace the 3.5mm radio transmitter I had. I have an iPhone 7, so no headphone jack, and the lightning adapter was causing weird issues with other things. It's easy to use, once you read the manual a bit, and does pretty good. There are times when the audio seems to suddenly fill in, or become more full, and it makes me wonder what it's doing the rest of the time. Honestly thinking of going back to a physical connection transmitter.

    I have an older car that doesn't have a hands-free option so this is perfect and it has two usb slots to charge two phones or devices. I have to have the radio turned up pretty high to hear clearly but small issue for the cost. I haven't had any issues with anyone hearing me on their end.

    This is a great way to be hands free and receiving/ calling out from your phone in the car. It works through the radio. Only glitch is you have to put it on 87.7 station for it to work. Other than that it's great for older cars that don't have Bluetooth capability...

    Good transmitter but low quality of sound, it has fast response blue tooth connection and has the ability to talk from you cellphone hand free. but like I say not so good with the sound quality, it plays kinda low through the speakers for some reason. But every other option is a thumbs up

    Over all this device is just not worth saving a few bucks. For starters the instructions don't tell you the right way for switch station. Then when you find a station the signal it outputs is weak so there will always be a buzzing when listing to music. Along with this the volume of the it's output is hot garbage. The call quality is also hot garbage. You will sound like a garbled mess. I tried to make it work for a week and at the end of it I just had to call it quits. Overall don't recommend.

      Hi, this is Kaleb with Bracketron. I'm sorry to hear you had some troubles with your Roadtripper. We suggest tuning the device to a station that is not picking up any broadcast whatsoever. These stations have the highest chance of a clear frequency from the transmitter! Also, turning the volume up on your phone will provide a clearer sound from the transmitter. If you'd like any more help, please reach out to [email protected]! Thanks, Bracketron Support Bracketron

    Like that it's small and does take too much space like other ones. Isnt too strong signal wise, guessing from other interferences. But does work well when there isn't anything interfering with it.

    It works pretty well and I do like it. The only cons are that there are occasional crackles in the sound and it will randomly disconnect. It’s not that often so this device is definitely worth getting.

    Sound was muffled vs stereo sound. Also there was a fair amount of static at various times, seemed to be related to radio station reception. Not good for travelling across the west which is why we bought it.

      Hi there, hope we can help! To provide your transmitter the best signal possible, be sure the media volume is all the way up on your phone. This should improve signal clarity. Secondly, if you drive far enough, you are bound to encounter a regional station broadcasting on the same frequency. Simply hold the red "end call" button until it blinks and then adjust the station frequency. It should set at the new selection after a second. The least used bandwidths are typically located at either end of the FM spectrum. If we can help in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected]!

    My old fm transmitter finally started going out after a few years of use. What killed the old one was having to unplug it and plug it back in as my car doesn’t power down the cigarette lighter plug. The Bracketron is one of the few that has an on off button and it’s amazing to not have to unplug all the time. It’s only downfall is the sound quality isn’t as good as some of the other ones and the buttons aren’t as easy to use.
