Roadtrip - Car Bluetooth Speaker & Wireless FM Transmitter Kit 2-in-1 for Streaming Cell Phone Audio to Car Speaker with Hands-Free 6W Speakers, Built-in Mic, and Long 22hr Playtime

- Tested with iPhone 14 Pro - Pairs easily with phone, haven't tried its 2-phone capability. Very easy to set up an use. - Speakerphone totally rejects background sound even with car windows open and produces no voice dropouts even under severe background conditions. The parties I talk to are very thankful for this; they have long been annoyed by the background sound and dropouts with several other speakerphones I have used including the phone's built-in speakerphone and my Bluetooth 2-way speakerphone hearing aids. Part of the key to this good performance is probably the microphone being so near my mouth, since the unit is mounted on the car visor. - The built-in speaker is as good as an inexpensive small speaker is expected to be; being very near the driver's ears helps it to work without having to be turned up to distortion level. - The FM radio link is as good as FM radio links can be, i.e. there is some hiss and crackle but on the whole, with my fairly good quality car speakers, the speakerphone and music streaming sound over them is much better than the Roadtrip built-in speaker. - The button is very convenient for answering, rejecting, and ending calls and redialing, and for initiating Siri commands. But with the microphone so near my face I don't have to speak Siri very loud anyway, unless I have the speaker or car radio speakers playing loudly. - This is the only visor-mounted product I have found that both streams audio via Bluetooth and acts as a speakerphone, and it works very well. - Allows different phone apps to selectively use it, e.g. I can stream music over my hearing aids and use Roadtrip as my speakerphone. So do I have any complaints? Only some slight ones: - The unit is a little heavy, you might need to tighten the hinge on our visor to keep the visor from sagging, or add velcro to hold the visor up. - I am tall and was annoyed by the unit being mounted on the visor, particularly when getting in the car while wearing a hat. So I used velcro to mount it on the ceiling above the rear-view mirror. I have not tested its microphone pickup and background canceling performance in this configuration yet.

I bought one and used it for a short time and it developed an issue with the bluetooth where it would whine over the radio, so I contacted Avantree and they sent me a new one free of charge. No issues with this one at all. Provides clear audio (as clear as FM can be), turns on when I need it to, and sometimes when I don't want it to (make sure it won't detect movement outside of the car), and even tells you when the battery is low. It also has a changeable battery in case the battery completely depletes. It is rechargeable, but it's nice to not have to create ewaste.

No directions needed. Battery was charged when I pulled it out of the box. My phone immediately connected to it. First time using it, played music straight from the unit. Sound is ok for what it is. Second time using, tried the FM transmitter. Selected a frequency and my work truck picked it right up. When I got out of the truck, I left the unit on. When I returned and started the truck, music instantly played from the truck speakers. There is slight static in the speakers at very low volume. Highly recommend it for those with older vehicles that can't connect directly to their vehicle sound system. I'd give it 5 Stars (and probably should) if it weren't for the static. But I don't know, never used an FM transmitter before. Might just be normal. Again, I want to emphasize you could only hear the static at low volume.

Easy to pair. Great sound. Functions perfectly

I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out which one of these Bluetooth phone speakers would be the best for my money and I settled on this one. I am very pleased. I have used it daily for the past two weeks and it works. The person on the other side hears me clearly and I also hear them clearly. It is extremely easy to set up. It recognizes when you get in the car and says “Connected” to verify it’s working and on. There is a knob to adjust the volume. It’s a well made case with a strong spring clip for visor mount. I haven’t tried the FM connection as I don’t care about that feature. It’s a first rate bluetooth speaker phone for the car, worth the money and I am pleased.

This hands-free set is great for road navigation and hearing calls. However, the mic quality needs to be improved as it comes across as quiet and muddy to the person on the other end of a call.

This thing just fundamentally does not work. The bluetooth/motion detector-driven automatic pairing has never once succeeded. It won’t pair if it’s in FM mode, so you have to fiddle with it every single time you use it if you want to connect your phone to your car radio. If it’s in FM mode and it’s raining, or you’re in a valley, or your visor is not flipped down, suddenly you get static on the radio as if there were interference. Doesn’t matter that it’s not raining inside the car, and I’ve never had this problem with any other transmitter. Battery life is a joke. If it’s fully charged overnight I can listen to music for a couple of hours, max. Phone calls, less than an hour. The manual says not to use it while charging, so just plugging it into the USB is somehow bad? Not that I really want a cord running from the sun visor to my console anyway. Taking it into the house to charge overnight would be fine once a week but every day? Come on. For $5 you can get a cheap Bluetooth fm transmitter that will play music, won’t make phone calls, can be plugged in continuously and will last six months to a year. For $50 I expected a lot better.

I have an older car (2005 BMW) and I’ve been looking for a solution to play my music and listen to audiobooks. I went to a couple of Mobile audio shops and they didn’t have a solution under few hundred dollars. One shop wanted to charge over $2000 to redo my entire system. This is a simple, easy hands-free, cordless, trouble free solution to connect my smart phone to my car speakers. I am now able to listen to satellite radio, audiobooks and even hands-free phone calls. All, without breaking the bank. The most difficult thing is finding a radio station that is compatible. With just a little time and patience, I was able to connect a trouble free system that sounds pretty damn good.
