Very convenient transmitter that sounds great with a little tweaking!
UPDATE: At the seller's request, I spent more time with this product to see if I could figure out how to reduce the sibilant noise. The seller recommended I try a different FM station which only made me think they didn't understand the problem. I already had a clean station that works fine with my current transmitter. Why would a different station produce better results on s sounds? But, as I really like the conveniences of this transmitter, even though their suggestion seemed unhelpful, I gave it another go because I really want this unit to work.I googled "open fm frequencies" and found a couple recommended stations for my zip code. The results of my tests, which I describe next, were the same regardless of the FM station. There were differences though, so it is worthwhile to try several. The differences in FM stations were mainly in how quiet the silence was. So I should think it best to start by finding the FM station that's quietest for your vehicle in the zip codes in your commute. By this I mean, set the radio and transmitter to the first recommended station and turn the car radio volume up. Then try the next station and compare to find the quietest.If your car's FM tuner has a signal strength indicator, this next step is a bit more scientific. My Honda has a "ST" indicator that goes out if the stereo signal fades. I set the Bluetooth volume on my phone to max, turned the car radio volume to near zero and the transmitter volume to max, then played a song with vocals containing the "s" sound. With the car volume low it was very easy to see the "ST" disappear whenever the sibilant "s" sound occurred. Even if I couldn't hear the distortion, I could see the stereo signal disappear. For why this occurs, google "Why is the s sound the most distorted on bad radio signals" So, now I had a repeatable, objective way to observe the problem.Leaving the phone volume at max, I then began reducing the transmitter volume until the ST no longer went out. This occurred about 21/22 for the particular songs I was testing with. I then turned the car radio volume up to a fairly loud level and listened. The s distortion was still noticeable, and I ended up turning the volume down to between 15 and 18. This still provided plenty of volume for my car radio and the distortion was nearly undetectable. Certainly good enough. For some songs that just need to be louder, I would certainly say crank the transmitter volume. But then return it to the sweet spot around 15 to 18.Then I compared the sound I was now getting to my original Coby (which just sounds great but is no longer available). I found that the music sounded just about as full, but with a cleaner signal, better stereo separation and better clarity, which you would expect from Bluetooth.So now, what I had hoped for is true: This transmitter does the job. I can recommend it to friends as well as pick up a couple more for my other vehicles.ORIGINAL REVIEW: 3 stars - Picked this one based on positive reviews. Does key things well - pairs quickly and automatically; next and previous song buttons work as expected; using blue tooth, sound is much clearer than using an audio cable in headphone port. Compared to my current FM transmitter, and old Coby unit, it's much more convenient as it automatically connects. The only issue is the sound quality at high frequencies. Sibilants (s-sounds, hissing) come through quite distorted. For some songs are unlistenable. Piano music, for instance, wouldn't be affected. Vocal music likely is. I'm comparing this with my current FM transmitter which doesn't produce this distorted s-sound affect at all. Sound I'm surprised this one does, and that no one has mentioned it in a review, good or bad. Wondering if I received a defective unit. Have used it for two days. and will see if the distortion becomes too irritating to keep this product.

Easy to pair, makes the stereo system useable with iPhone
I purchased an older vehicle (2005 Toyota Avalon) has a great sound system, and this device connects easily and plays though the system. Jumping over to phone calls on a iPhone, not always seamless, but overall a super great value.

Works perfect even if you do not have Bluetooth or a AUX in port on your car radio
This is a very nice piece of equipment. I bought it because, neither of my iPod or my vehicle have Bluetooth capability and the car radio does not have an AUX in port. I just plug my classic iPod into the in/out port on the side of this adaptor and tune my car radio into the same FM radio station as the one I set on the adaptor and I have perfect sound. No external electrical interference noises or static. I get just plain excellent sound from the recordings on my iPod, through my car radio. The jacks on both the adaptor and my iPod are 3.5mm. I tried another brand that was supposed to work, but it only had an output jack on the adaptor, so when I plugged the cable into the port, I got nothing. I'm very pleased with this adaptor. I thought I was going to have to buy a new radio for a couple hundred dollars, but this amazing little adaptor saved me from having to do that. It will work if you do have Bluetooth capability. I can't think of any kind of set up this adaptor would not work with. It's well built and feels nice and solid. I would add a video of it working, but I figured I wouldn't be allowed to post it due to copywrite laws. I would love to have everyone listen to how great the sound is through the adaptor and my old time car radio. I am using this in a 2007 Chevy Uplander. I highly recommend this adaptor and this seller. A+++++++ for both!! I had a problem with the fist one I received, but the seller was quick to send out a replacement and now I can listen to my audio books while I drive. Don't be afraid to get one of these if you need to attach an external gadget to your old style car radio. If I need another one, I will be getting the same thing from the same seller. I'm a very happy camper!!

Car Bluetooth adapter.
These work very well. I have bought four so far and have giving them as gifts to people with older vehicles that do not have Bluetooth in their cars. The only issue I have is finding a frequency that is totally clear of static. Great price and convenient, very easy to set up.

Works Decent
I purchased this as a cheap option to play music over my truck speakers. It's very easy to use and I like the size/design of it as it allows me to utilize both plugins on my dash. Some of the issues I have had with it are: there are days when I go to connect my phone and it will not connect for a while. I've tried unplugging/replugging it back in and restarted my phone. Sometimes it works right away. Other times I have to wait a bit and then it works. Overall the sound quality and noise level are great. I just have to make sure I max out the volume on my cell phone. So far I have no issues with the transmitter quality. Overall it's a decent product.

Modernized my SC430 2002 model
Works great in my 2002 Lexus SC430I can make phone calls hands free and answer them on touch of the button. Streams my Pandora or podcasts from my iPhone. Also great for Msps and directions with a magnetic phone holder that fits in air vent.Just plug into lighter, find a blank station. I set the far right button to lock it in. Then set unit to same station, eg 89.7 by rotating the button.

Better Than I Expected
Works well. Easy set up, connects automatically and the sound is good. I did not expect much for sound quality but this is more than acceptable. I've been using it for about 4 months and haven't had any malfunctions.
