Works as described, happy with it
Been using this for several days and works great so far. Easy to setup and use, so glad I can finally listen to podcasts through my car speakers. It's nice how there are several options on how to connect your media to the device: Bluetooth, aux cord, or SD card. I've been using Bluetooth so far and had no issues.
The neck on the device is pretty long and bendy which is awesome cuz I can position it so it isn't in the way of anything else. The USB plug on the front works great, charges my phone faster than just the car's plug so I'm stoked about that as well. Haven't taken a call through the device yet so I can't comment on how well that works but seems simple enough.
This device is of course contingent on having a free FM band available which can be tricky to find in some spots but I just googled open FM bands near me and found a decent one. There is some static when the FM band isn't completely clear as expected but everything has come through pretty clearly. When traveling long distances you will probably have to switch to a different clearer band at some point since different places receive different stations. It's easy to do though, just change your car radio to a different band then use the channel button on the device to move to that open channel.
I do have the volume on the device turned all the way up and I have to turn my car radio volume up a bunch as well. Not sure why it's so quiet when radio is at regular volume but no big deal, just have to crank it up and remember to turn the volume back down when switching back to the radio.
This is my only option to listen to my own music through my speakers since my car is old and doesn't have Bluetooth or an aux outlet in it (and let's be honest I'm too cheap to buy a whole new radio system for my car). Kicking myself for not buying one of these earlier as I spend a ton of time in the car. I would definitely recommend this to those with older cars.
