I live in the Islands and my favorite radio station for Hawaiian music is on the other end of our little island chain. I had great expectations for this little gadget and with your tutorial, clear and concise I might add, is living up to them Mahalo Nui for a very educational review.
I'm using it daily. I bought sveral FM transmitters (including Motorola) before and this is only one usable for making phone calls. This is due great noise cancelation.
Can anyone please help me out on this before buying: If I connect my phone to the device via bluetooth, and I listen to another radio station on my car stereo (= not the chosen device FM channel and not aux). What happens then, when my phone rings? Do I hear the ring tone on my phones speakers, even though audio is connected to the bluetooth transmitter? Or is the ring tone silent, because the phone audio is transfered and locked to the transmitter, from where it does not continue to the car speakers, because neither aux or the correct FM channel is active on the car stereo? It would be great if the phone speakers would still ring in this scenario, and then I could press aux or change FM station and take the call.
I don’t have this anymore to try this scenario out. But I would guess you would see your phone ring on screen but the sound would either not ring out because you’re listening to a different audio source in the car, or it would ring independently itself.
Just tested it out, works fine at this moment! Although i did some research and found what i already was afraid of. Its just an ali-expres item wich has been dropshipped to make it 30 euro's
Yes I heard this here in the comments also. TBH a large majority of products on Amazon are like this. A large portion are made in china and can be sourced directly for much cheaper price. What I like think though is that paying the extra price is for faster shipping (the item is likely at a local warehouse - check delivery time estimate) and also much easier returns via Amazon. Sure you can buy it from AliE or Temu, but that comes with more risk if the product has the chance of facing a compatibility issue. The frustrating part is how much extra they put on some products. Sometimes it’s best not to look if this is a concern. 😂
@@CarPlayLife Yeah thats true, i bought it for 30 euro's and got it the next evening. It also works very good so i'm not that worried this time about a dropship item.
This sounds like something in the car is causing the interference. If you can, try the transmitter in a different car and see if you have the same experience. If you do it might be faulty or if you don’t there’s something in the car that isn’t shielded that’s messing with the signal perhaps.

I just got a 2007 jeep Cherokee and it doesn’t even have a aux plug but I ordered it earlier will it still work will just my phone and Bluetooth for good sounding music. I don’t know much about cars so I’d appreciate the help.
You simply plug this into the 12v socket. Pick an FM station on the adapter. Tune your radio into that same station. Then pair your phone to the adapter over Bluetooth and press play on your favourite music app on your phone. You should start to hear music over your car speakers. 🙌🏻
@@papagalo11 , Mp3's working great .. I have a micro Sandisk ultra pro , 32 gigs , in a small card reader , which Sandisk has one the fastest read and write speed through a 2.0 usb port ..
Very good question and one I didn’t try out 🤦🏻♂️ seeing as the aux is output I doubt it as it would need to be input to play audio over BT output which it also doesn’t have I think.
Thanks 😊 . I didn’t know that was a thing. It’s BT5.3 but I tried to connect both iPhone and Android and the second device (Android) didn’t show the BT profile of the adapter until I disconnected my iPhone. So it doesn’t look like it does support simultaneous connections 😞
@@CarPlayLife Thanks for response, I have a FM transmitter (BT 5.0) that pairs two devices at the same time but it does not have AUX cable or USB C charge availability - its very good but extra functionality would be great
Does anyone know a Bluetooth Transmitter that does not scream "connecting" or " bluetooth device found" every time you get in the car? So annoying and they all seem to do this?
@@CarPlayLife well it just came in the mail today and i was able to just connect through bluetooth🤷♂️ its great and everything, i just wish there was a way to get rid of this annoying static sound in the background
... Well done Mate, Excellent. USB drive, FAT32 ? files on root ? Exceeded maximum supported drive size ? And the most likely, lack of QA in manufacturing.
They say I might have incompatible files on the drive. So I need to remove those and try that. Apparently if you have any incompatible files, accessing the drive doesn’t work at all. Which is crazy. it should just play back ones it can and skip the incompatible ones. I’ll try this soon and report back in the comments.
I read every review on Amazon but did did not find an answer to this question. Can I use the volume dial on this bluetooth adapter to control song volume via Bluetooth from my iPhone music library to my car radio? Or is the volume control only for call volume? Thanks
