Bluetooth 5.3 FM Transmitter for Car, 3.0 Wireless Bluetooth FM Radio Adapter Music Player FM Transmitter/Car Kit with Hands-Free Calling and 2 USB Ports Charger Support USB Drive

TL;DR -Works great, strong FM signal, solid Bluetooth connectivity, fast charging via indicated USB type-A port. Low volume.Background:Like many folks, I still have a car with a stone-age factory radio, devoid of Bluetooth. With the local radio stations either having weak signals or playing ads and talk segments more than music (exaggerated, even only if barely), I knew I had to find a solution to pair my phone to my car's stereo so I could listen to what I wanted. Naturally, the thought to replace the factory head unit with something more modern crossed my mind. However, I'd decided against it, because it later occurred to me that I may be switching cars within a year's time. Seemed like the ideal circumstance for something simple and inexpensive to tide me over until then. Enter: this FM transmitter with Bluetooth!The Good:I purchased this device during a Lightning Deal, making its price point even more attractive. Having used devices like this before, I truly appreciated its compact design and dual charge ports (one of which delivers fast charging). Being that it was so inexpensive, I wasn't expecting a lot when I first received it. That said, I was rather impressed with how strong the built-in FM transmitter was! I tuned my radio to a frequency without reception, set that frequency on the device, and there was utter silence from the radio (i.e. no sounds of neighbor stations competing with the device). Once I paired the Bluetooth to my phone, I was able to play music with issue. Furthermore, I've had no problems whatsoever with the Bluetooth connection being unstable, songs breaking up/skipping, or disconnection.The Bad:Nothing's perfect, right? The only real gripe I have with this transmitter (which I've encountered in every FM-to-Bluetooth device I've ever used) is that the volume seems roughly 60-65% of that which is natively produced by the car stereo (AM/FM/XM, CD, etc). Even with the Bluetooth volume maxed out on my phone, I have to turn the stereo volume up to 30% before I can hear anything, 50% to hear it well, and 75-80% or more if I'm driving along at highway speeds. The only reason why I won't take a star away in my review is because this issue appears to be common to this type of device (perhaps due to some scientific limitations which I don't understand), so I can't fault it or the manufacturer for it.Conclusion:If your use case is similar to mine, where you simply want to have your phone's audio playing through your car's stereo with minimal fuss and associated cost, I can't begin to see how you could go wrong with this product.

Item works great and pairs fast, sound comes out perfect and is easy to use

Right out of the box this thing worked just like it should. I have a 25 year old pickup with no bluetooth. Plugged it in, set the frequency I wanted to use, and it paired with my phone right away. Strong signal to my vehicle radio. Awesome. I have tunes through my car stereo from my iPhone, I'm happy. It seems to function well. It helps if you find a spot on your tuning dial without any radio stations near it. And if you happen to travel and suddenly find that a radio station is using the frequency your device is using, you'll get interference and a dropped signal as the device and the real radio station fight your vehicle's radio. Other than that, nothing not to like so far.

I got this to read music from a USB drive and the sound quality isn't perfect since it's being transmitted by an FM radio signal but it's still pretty good. The only thing that sucks is that there's no shuffle option. It will play all the audio files in alphabetical order but at least it remembers which song was played last so you can cycle through the entire collection over time.The other thing to note is that the instructions say to find a clear radio band but I found that the higher bands were better, regardless of whether they were free or not. A clear band at like 89MHz sounded pretty crappy but I set it to 107MHz and it sounds very clear, even when I get to work where there's a radio station on that band.
