Did not work well for us
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this on Dec 19 online and finally got time to install it on Jan 20. There was a bit of a hum that got worse at volume. Also, my wife's lighters are physically located very low in her Odyssey so you could not hear her voice due to the placement. So I packaged everything back up, took my receipt and headed to Best Buy today (Jan 23) and they would not refund me or even give me store credit. So now I am out $40+ and for that I think my Best Buy purchases are going to cease.

Great sound and alternative way to stream music
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical of the fm Bluetooth product from previous experience with older similar products which I wasn't impressed with. I had found another similar product and read the reviews and bc I love bestbuy found this product read the reviews and surprisingly both reviews were positive for both products. Ultimately I have always had great experiences with bestbuy so I chose to buy the product they offered. Still skeptical especially since my vehicle doesn't have an auxiliary port and would have to rely on the signal. My vehicle has bose speakers I was stunned at the sound quality streaming through the fm Bluetooth...Exceeding way beyond my expectations. I compared playing the same song by CD and fm Bluetooth and truly could not hear any difference in quality, clarity or volume. With one exception slower tempo and beat songs sometimes can hear minimal radio static. Which can be fixed with finding another station. The only con I can mention is I live in a rural area and I drive little over an hour to work and to shop so I do have to change the station at the most 2 or 3 times for more clear streaming, which is to be expected so I dont necessarily think it is actually a con. The phone function works great as well very clear sometimes may have little static but it's very minimal, I do have to remove any objects that are in between the device microphone and me to aid in a more clear sound for the person on the receiving end. Another great component is the versatility of the device I can bend it to the most direct position to me so the microphone can relay my voice clearly. With streaming music or clarity of whom is transmitted to me from my phone the device doesn't need a direct position to my phone. Only the microphone needs to be adjusted toward me to more accurately transmit what I say more clearly. I also love a controller is included to end or answer calls move to next tract set new radio station control volume and etc. Overall I am extremely impressed and setup is very simple. Highly highly recommend this product.

Does the job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have an old car so I needed a way to connect my iPhone 7 to the audio. So I got this FM transmitter, works perfectly. In the beginning, it was not smooth sailing as it was difficult to find a FM radio station to interfere with. But finally after 2 weeks I found the hotspots and it's been working perfectly. Negatives: Price is too high USB: Doesn't charge quickly, price should correlate with the specs within the item.

Impressed with product, price, and quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a 2004 Honda that doesn't allow me to have the opportunity to use an aux cord directly from my car. This product is easy to use and the quality of how it comes through the speakers is crystal clear. I've been trying to find products like this to transmit music from my phone through my speakers, it's either they have too many wires or the sound is not up to par. This Bluetooth FM transmitter is great and I suggest that if you are in need of something like this then you should look no further and get this one!

Enable Bluetooth in Your Car
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just got a new iPhone 7 and quickly realized that I could no longer plug my iPhone 7 into my car audio connector - my car does not have Bluetooth capabilities. So, I picked up this item and now my phone can connect to my car radio. I can listen to tunes, answer calls and even use Siri with ease. This thing even has a remote!! And inexpensive Bluetooth enable for those of you who don't have Bluetooth already built in to there cars!

Nice adapter for older car stereos.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a 2004 stock stereo am/fm CD player only. This Bluetooth makes it possible to listen to my music on my phone via Bluetooth with radio frequencies and it puts my calls through the radio as well. It has a aux cable and port so I can also listen to my older iPod . The only issue is when using the usb charger there is static interference making the music low quality, which is not good, but without it I wouldn't be able to listen at all so it is an issue I can deal with until I get a better stereo or a new car. With the hands free/distracted driving law now in effect here I'm glad I have it. It's why I chose this over one for only music.

Q: QuestionMy phone pairs with the transmitter but it won’t play through the car radio. It is set on same station but there is only static?
Asked by Lc.
- A:Answer On the instructions is says you’re able to change the song and the volume level. If you click it once you can turn it all the way to the right and it turns the volume up. Make sure it’s not set on changing the music. I’m not even sure how mine got turned down but it did! Took me forever to figure it out.

Q: QuestionIs there any way to turn off the device without unplugging it from the AC power outlet? My van will keep it on while the vehicle is not running. I'm not seeing an option in the manual.
Asked by Charles.
- A:Answer You should always unplug it, it's draining your battery when it's plugged in and your vehicle is off

Q: QuestionWhat kind of fuse goes in to the transmitter
Asked by J.
- A:Answer Mine has a fuse in the cigarette lighting receptical (? the plug for the lighter socket) and the fuse size is F2AL250V. Im in the process of putting in a new one, this one seems to have burned out because its no longer playing music audibly even though it says its connected.

Q: QuestionWill this device play tunes downloaded onto my iPhone through the stereo speakers already installed in my vehicle? In other words, does it send an FM signal to my vehicle's radio antenna?
Asked by Ripped.
- A:Answer Yes. As long as your phone is connected through Bluetooth, you can play your music with any app you want.

Q: QuestionWhy can't I connect my phone without having to unplug and plug the Bluetooth back in? Shouldn't I be able to connect it automatically without doing that?
Asked by Scoshe.
- A:Answer I have the same issue. I called Scosch Tech Support and they said unless your 12v outlet powers off when your ignition is off, you will have to unplug the device each time you want to pair. There is no workaround. Where my plug sits in my center console, this is very inconvenient. I will probably return it, assuming I can find another device that does better. For others: If your 12 Volt outlett turns OFF when your ignition is OFF, this won't be a huge issue for you.

Q: QuestionDoes it charge the phone while using it?
Asked by Anonymous.
