FM transmitter, any good ones?

[Neil clark]

Just got a new old car lol and want Mp3 playback which is easy with a fm transmitter, are there any that are any good? And to keep away from?

 

Cheers!

I have this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Transmitter-Wireless-Adapter-Function/dp/B01MZADLK8/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1536522787&sr=8-7&keywords=nulaxy

 

It plays from a card, USB stick or Bluetooth as well as accepting the usual 3.5mm plug. The functions are very crude but it seems to work quite well and looks inoffensive.

I had a cheap one but to be honest the signal wasn’t good. I’ve no idea where it is now, but if i find it you can have it FOC.

I now have a DAB Highway unit that I swap from the 2cv to x1/9. The 2cv has rear AUX socket to plug it in and the fiat uses a cassette with aux lead.

It's an 06 plate astra with a CD player so no aux or tape lol. I had a transmitter years ago and sound was pants so trying to find a better one

I've used this one and found it pretty decent, they've improved a lot from when they first came out, they used to be pretty shit sound wise

To be honest I gave up on the one I had too. Hence why I don’t know where it is.

I've got one in the glovebox of my Mondeo, I think. I have no idea why, the glovebox is where the car's aux-in socket is located! I seem to recall I just extracted the contents of my old Mondeo's glovebox and dumped them in the new one without sorting them. It's a battery powered one, and I recall that it seemed to work about as well as I'd expect, which was fine, until someone with a more powerful one drove past. You can choose the frequency on it, I think. I only needed it because while bored I'd shoved an adaptor cassette in to the stereo the wrong way round to see what would happen, and what happens is they get stuck, in case anyone else is ever tempted to perform the same experiment.

 

Anyway I doubt it'd cost more than about £1.50 to post and it's no use to me, so I'll try and dig it out and test it if you're interested.

I use this wee thing and it's brilliant, great sound and nothing sticking out or wires trailing- a real pet hate of mine.
