Customer Review

A few years ago it was unthinkable, now it's possible thanks to the latest technology: The ancient car radio can be done with this accessory "Bluetooth capable". It could not go well. The whole course without modification measure, wirelessly and have great technique skills you do not need too. About the device, the car radio play the music from your phone, just as it is natural to use as a speakerphone.

The Bluetooth FM Transmitter from August will be delivered in a small blue cardboard box. The device consists of 2 parts which can be merge by means of magnets. A multilingual, also German manual is included.

It's all just a thought. The two parts of the transmitter can be plugged together. The lower part is in the car's cigarette lighter. Once the car is running, the transmitter automatically switches on. Similarly, as with all other Bluetoohgeräten, you can connect instantly to the device with the smartphone. A FM frequency will appear on the transmitter display. This one looks to the car radio. If they match, you can now use the transmitters and handsfree or listen to music from your phone through the car radio.

The transmitter has a gooseneck and an additional USB charging port. This means not only an enormous freedom of movement, but also the ability to charge their smartphone at the same time via the USB port. The volume control can also be done directly via the transmitter. However, I prefer the control via the car radio. If you remove the transmitter from the cigarette lighter, the unit turns off on its own.

Basically, it's a great, very useful accessory. It has no audio cable is in the way, movable and not least the existing hands-free increases safety. Unfortunately, I have a problem can not be solved in two cars and two different smartphones. For I have the music play again short dropouts. This sucks easy, even when the sound stays away only for a fraction of a second. It must be at the transmitter, because smartphones can I exclude. For other Bluetooth devices such as Bluetooth speakers for I have never had such a problem. But there's only 4 stars from me.

In general, this Bluetooth transmitter a great useful device for people who are traveling a lot in the car.
