I purchased this for a 2004 Jeep Wrangler that has no integrated bluetooth, USB, or 3.5mm audio input. The Sosche - BTFREQ was $29.99 when I bought it.
Positives:
- It works
- 2 USB charging ports
- Easy to change stations
- Snug fit even in an old, worn-out socket like my Jeep has
Negatives:
- DO NOT auto-connect to iPhone once it turns off and on again, so you have to manually connect every time you get in the car
- Doesn't get very loud
- Can hear static when no music is playing
- Feels cheap with low quality plastic and knob
- USB ports DO NOT support iPhone 16 Pro fast charging (I should have checked before purchasing, the 19 Pro needs 30W)
Overall:
I returned this device and decided to go with a better solution. If you are on a very strict budget, you could do a lot worse than the Scosche BTFREQ transmitter. Compared to my old no-name transmitter (bought in 2010 for $20), it's better but not the quality difference I was hoping for given the 14 year time gap. In the end, considering how cheap aftermarket radios with bluetooth are these days, I'll probably do that for around $100 instead.

This Bluetooth transmitter has been so clutch ever since I bought it bc my Camry 2011 Bluetooth connection can’t pick connect my phone anymore. Once plugged in and set the FM station, my Bluetooth audio connected perfectly and sound was amazing. Does make static noise in the background when you drive in areas with bad frequency.

Son bought it for his car, no static, easy use, can hear him clearly when he calls. Works well with Siri for us. Impressed over all. Fits in the old port holder, not in the way and syncs with the automatically.

Super easy to set up and quality is crisp. At times I do have to switch the frequency due to interferanceand it has an aux cable connection which eliminates the issue and still allows for a bluetooth connection. Great product

Great device. As long as you read the instructions correctly and follow them you will have a good time. The quality is good. The connection is good. You can plug in 2 phones at a time. The charge time is great. Charges my iPhone at 5% to 100% in 1 1/2 hour. Bluetooth mic is great. The connection to the stereo is great. Connecting phone to it is a little bit complicated but as long as you read the instructions you will be fine.

phenomenal piece if you have a car that doesn't have Bluetooth or a USB socket.
it charged the phone while I was playing music through it and it can send it Bluetooth but my vehicle didn't have Bluetooth this piece also has an auxiliary output in my vehicle did have an auxiliary input so it worked perfectly and you can twist the dial to Ford and reverse the songs. absolutely great piece for what it does.

Quick and easy to install when compared to other products and brands. Easy to switch from one car to another. the transmitter does all the work to find a working station and you set your radio on that station and there you have it. it also has a usb port which is so convenient. The price is the best part. What a great deal. I recommend

Love this FM transmitter! Got one for my truck about 6 months ago, just got a 2nd one for my VW. Easy to use, plugs into car so charges while in use. Easy to change radio station while in transit. Bluetooth automatically connects as soon as I get into the car. A+

I love this! It was so easy to set up. My car radio doesnt work well. Then my 3.5mm jack outlet went bad. I could no longer play the music off my phone. This fixed it! Sounds great and so easy to use. Highly recommend!

Very impressed with the sound quality and ease of use of this device. I am using this in a 1995 vehicle with original stereo, and listening to music sounds great! Device also has convenient USB charging ports, as well as a readout for vehicle voltage. Highly recommended!

Decent device, difficult port placement (for me)

This FM transmitter seems to work well, and I purchased it because it has an AUX port which my Jetta is wired for. The circular ring interface is nicely designed. The Bluetooth & FM signals seem strong enough to broadcast in stereo to your radio.
My problem is the placement of the ports on the device is awkward for my car’s adapter (next to the ashtray in the dashboard center console).
If I use either the charging port for a phone or the AUX port, I have difficulty plugging the device into the 12v power port in my car, as it’s prevented from reaching due to the tight fit… and for me, using both ports is out of the question.
I actually replaced this device with another that uses a gooseneck adapter.
That said, I think this device could work well for many people, as long as they have the clearance around their car’s 12v power ports to accommodate attached cables.
Again, this issue is specific to me… I think other people could use this device very well.

Its easy to use. I didn't realize until after i bought it that you can use it to control your music (play/pause skip or go back to previous song). That was a added bonus, i would 100 percent recommend this over others in this price range.

It works fine, but the volume is not very powerful. I have to turn the volume up to way high to get normal volume, then I have to be careful to turn it back down to normal before I unplug it. Kinda irritating.

It does what it states, but you definitely lose some audio quality, obviously. However, it is the easiest way to add bluetooth capability to an older vehicle. Its a quick, plug and play item that works as specified. I would recommend this item, as long as you're not an audiophile.

Add wireless Bluetooth connection to older cars.

A great way to add hands-free calling and music streaming to an older vehicle that doesn't have Bluetooth. Hands-free calling is almost a must-have. Sound level is okay, but on my car I need to turn the volume up all the way (using the headphone output to car's AUX in). But it works. I'm really glad I can stream music in my older car! The default FM channel interfered with a local station I want to hear. Changing that setting was a little tricky. But once done it's done. An additional benefit is the USB charger ports!

Wonderful Way to Add Bluetooth to Your Automobile!

This is a wonderful way to add bluetooth to your automobile for an automobile not originally equipped with bluetooth technology. This "Scosche BTFREQ Bluetooth FM Transmitter" sinks readily to my smartphone, so now I can listen to my SiriusXM music and have hands-free driving when I'm making and receiving calls on my smartphone. I also bought one for my son's car that didn't originally come with bluetooth. I highly recommend this product!
