I have a broken cigarette charger and thought there was no alternative solution to listen through the stereo of my old car until I found this device. The device is very easy to use, affordable, and quality of the sound is clear! The signal strength is just as strong or even stronger than my old Cigarette Lighter FM Transmitter. Definitely worth the buy!

Looks good. Unfortunately does not work as intended. Picks up a lot of surrounding interference especially from engine related components. Cheap Chi#!*! C!@#. Waste of hard earned hard taxed money.

Easy enough to use, looking to return it as it creates noise just plugged in.

It works great, and the microphone sounds clear when calling. The only thing “It might be the radio” but it gets a little static at hight volumes. It’s built great easy to use. Value is worth it.

I did not expect a FM transmitter to be this awesome. Mind you, I haven’t used one for more than a decade, but I bought an old Saab as a project car, and figured an FM Transmitter would be better than nothing until I can figure out how to hack Bluetooth directly into the head unit. After a week with this, I’m not sure I’m going to bother with any hacks: It sounds great, it works exactly as you’d expect (easy to change station, easy to pair to Bluetooth, easy to re-connect), provides two USB ports for charging devices, AND has an aux-in (the manual calls it aux out, but it functions as an input) to let you plug directly into the transmitter instead of using Bluetooth (y’know, in case you want to rock an old iPod in your old car.)
Plugged into the cigarette lighter directly under the stereo, I haven’t had any problems with static or interference. This thing “just works” and was totally worth the purchase.

This product does exactly what I need it to do. This whole time I’ve been playing music in my car through a portable speaker, its deathly annoying when I forget to charge it or leave it somewhere. Its also super simple to work out, the instructions are clear. Overall, I am very satisfied.

I’m so happy. It works perfectly! I had a bluetooth FM transmitter before this one but it required a remote to change the station. I lost the remote. Thankfully this one doesn’t require a remote. I didn’t buy this to make hands free phone calls, so I can’t comment on that but I can finally listen to my music and audiobooks again. It doesn’t come with instructions. Setup may be intuitive for some but not me. It was easy enough to google the instructions though. The instructions and setup were simple.

This feels like a fraud to me, and I am angry!
I had high expectations. Return was 5th August and on the 10th, it just stopped working.
While it connects to the bluetooth of my phone, there’s just no audio coming out of it.
This is very annoying and sad!
I feel robbed!

La calidad del material se ve bien, aunque lo que resalta es el excelente sonido. Claro que se escucha un poco de estática dependiendo la estación de radio, pero el sonido del transmisor es increíble, muy claro, yo uso Apple Music así que suena genial. Me encantó.

Was iffy at first but it is a great product, was pretty cheap and connection is immediate once your bluetooth connection is on your device. Clear sound and signal, especially once you choose “the right” FM radio transmission. I like how compact it is as well.

Needed hands-free in my ’04 GMC Yukon. Bose radio, works great, but replacing with anything hands-free capable is over $1000 plus the installation hassle, steering wheel control adapter module, adapter harnesses, etc. Simple plug in, pair bluetooth, find an empty FM station and go. The only compromise is that you have to switch the radio band to FM from whatever other mode you’re using to use the hands-free. A small price to pay, pushing one steering wheel button… A great value.

Here’s a more formal and articulate version of your review with some additional suggestions to make it more critical:
After using this device for a while, I must say that I am quite underwhelmed. Despite being slightly more expensive than other products in this category, it falls flat on many basic features that others carry. Let me begin with the physical build of the device.
While the build quality is mostly fine, it is not the best. However, it’s important to keep in mind that this is a sub $25 device as of writing this review. There is a single knob to change the songs that are currently playing within your phone’s queue. This knob is also used when the “channel” button on the right side of the device is clicked to then tune the signal which you can pick up on it from. The main issue being that if this is the main knob you interface with, I don’t understand why the manufacturers wouldn’t have put a little more thought into making it feel less awful to use. It feels flimsy when moved, flipping out with little action required and then falling back into place. Although it does the job well enough, I am unsure how usable it will be in the future given the quality of it. It’s likely that a cheap knob like this will give out or misread inputs over time.
The light reads off the channel number with a pleasant white LED. This is my favorite part of the device, as it is very easy to read while I am out and about. However, the quality of the audio is where this device really falls short. It seems to be fuzzy and quiet at best, with absolutely no way to adjust the audio from the device. This is absolutely crucial for people with older cars, as they may require a stronger audio signal to properly listen to their music. In other Bluetooth models I have used, it is very simple to slide the volume all the way up and easily be able to listen to the music. However, with this device, I have found myself needing to turn my car’s volume up to 70% just to hear what sounds like 10% volume on the FM radio. Despite checking the very brief manual given with the device and ensuring that volume limiting is turned off on my phone, the audio quality remains poor.
To make matters worse, the audio quality lacks both high and low ends, making a lot of the fun or nuance of music get lost in the process. It’s disappointing that such a basic feature as adjusting audio is missing from this device. Without it, the device is almost unusable. Given the fact that the audio quality is poor and the device lacks basic features, I believe this device may have some quality control issues, and you’re not entirely sure what you’re going to get.
In conclusion, my advice would be to look for something else, as this device is lacking in very basic features to begin with, yet it is sold at a markup compared to competitors.
