Nulaxy Bluetooth 5.4 Car Adapter FM Transmitter with 1.44" LCD Screen Black

I bought this portable adapter to add Bluetooth connectivity to my 2007 Ford vehicle and it works perfectly. This adapter uses your car's 12 volt adapter as its power source. It is a good value for the money and the setup is pretty much plug and play. This adapter is equipped with one standard USB-A port that can be used to charge your phone while you're on the road. It also comes with a 3.5 mm. AUX cable (included in the box) that can be plugged in from the AUX port on the adapter itself to your car radio's AUX port (if available). This is the recommended method for the most stable audio connection. In my case, however, I have no AUX capability on my radio, but, I was able to connect this adapter by using a blank (unused) station on my car's FM radio once paired to my phone's Bluetooth connection. The adapter will let you know when it is connected through both the display on the adapter itself and through an audio message that comes through your car's speakers. The neck of the device is also adjustable which is convenient. The sound quality is good for what it is, but can vary based on what radio station you use and what type of media you are playing (i.e. Sirius satellite radio, Spotify, YouTube, etc.). When making or receiving phone calls, I found that I had to max the volume on the device and turn up the volume on my radio to be heard clearly by the other caller. When listening to music or other audio from your smartphone, I would recommend maxing out your phone volume and maxing out the adapter's volume to get the best audio coming from your car speakers. In summary, I can now stream music from all sorts of platforms and make and receive calls hands free in my car. This adapter is also capable of streaming audio guided directions, via my Google maps app, through my car speakers as well, which is an added bonus. It is fully capable of streaming any type of audio from your smartphone and it does so well.

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.

This product was tested in two vehicles. The first, a 2001 VW Beetle and the second, a 2009 Mini Cooper. The adapter worked as expected in both to stream Bluetooth music from my iPhone over an unusued FM station on the receiver in each vehicle. Sound was not as good as the stock head unit, but it was still good and provided a nice workaround for hands-free calling and streaming music. Pairing with the device was as easy as turning on the Bluetooth on my phone after plugging the adapter to power it up. The controls are intuitive and easy to use. The VW did not power down the adapter. The lights stayed on the adapter even when the car was turned off, and since that would wear down the battery, I unplugged it. Not ideal, but according to the manual, some vehicles require disengaging the adapter. The Mini powered down the socket where the adapter was plugged in, and thus could remain installed in the vehicle. Microphone quality was OK, and having a USB port on the adapter for charging was something I looked for and was happy to have. Overall, a good purchase and something I should have bought years ago! I will be replacing the original radio in the VW with a Bluetooth stereo this week, but for the Mini - this is perfect, and a cheap way to add Bluetooth connectivity to older cars and trucks that have a cigarette lighter port within easy reach of the driver.

This is simply TOO COOL and functional for words. First it is extremely intuitive (didn't even have to read the manual...just looked at the quick start guide which showed what each button does). And, as important, it is much safer to use, while driving, versus fumbling around on your smartphone or iPod/iPad, when playing music on your car stereo (more on that, below). I have several older model vehicles which do not have Bluetooth and this solves a huge problem, elegantly and simply. When I am driving on the highway, I use my iPad Air 2 for music, with all of my iTunes playlists loaded onto it. Getting that music into my car's sound system was not possible, before I found this wonderful device. First I plug the Nulaxy into the car's accessory plug-in, which turns it on automatically. Then, I turn on the iPad (or any smartphone with Bluetooth) and ask for it to "find" and "pair" with other devices, at which time it finds the Nulaxy automatically (when the Nulaxy is plugged in and "on"). Then open iTunes or other music player on your device and start up a song. Then go to the Nulaxy and use the upper two buttons above the "dial knob", to go up or down the FM station selections to find a clear signal where you can hear the music playing from your device. And you are done with that "launch" step. Here is where this device is so much safer to use than fumbling with your music player device. A) If you want to mute, for an incoming call, you simply push the illuminated blue button in the center of the dial, which automatically pauses the song that is playing on your device, to allow silence for taking a phone call or other reasons needing silence. You can also put the phone call into your car stereo system with a couple of button pushes. And you can recall the last number dialed with a couple of button pushes on the center dial. And when you are done, just push the center button again and it goes back to playing music where you left off. B) Push the forward and reverse buttons without taking your eyes off the road, to advance to the next song, or go back. C) Turn up the volume by spinning the round dial (just like you would on your car's stereo dash controls). Or, alternately, use the volume up or down buttons, which flank the round dial that does the same thing. I use the round dial instead of the car's volume control because I first turn up my music player device to close to 100% for the best sound transmission and then use the Nulaxy volume control to go up or down. I found this to be the best mix for optimum sound. Although, if desired, you can still use your car's audio system dials for volume. Multiple options for the safest mode for your needs. D) And a great feature which covers all the bases...let's say you have a music player that does not have Bluetooth (maybe an old ipod, or a cassette player or whatever) and you want to get the music from your device onto your car audio system using the Nulaxy. The Nulaxy has a 3.5mm stereo mini plug port on the side of the unit that allows you to run a simple stereo cord from the headphone jack on your player, into the Nulaxy, which then transmits the signal to an FM station on your car stereo. Good engineering to be the most user friendly and feature rich. E) There is also a TF Card port on the side of the unit, which allows you to use a TF Card or Micro SD card in the Nulaxy. I have not used this feature so I can't comment on its usefulness. F) And the last feature worth mentioning is that there is a USB charging port on the back side of the part that plugs into the accessory outlet of your car (cigarette lighter style port). So you can plug your device into this to keep it charged while driving and using the Nulaxy. Great for extended periods in which you want to conserve battery on your smartphone or player. CAUTION though, which most people may already know. You probably do not want to use your cigarette lighter port (if you have a dual port..one for accessories and one for a cigarette lighter), because if you plug anything into a cigarette lighter port, for an extended time, it will cause that port to overheat and possibly cause damage to the wiring and/or your device plug. I made that mistake at one time and plugged something into the cigarette lighter to charge, while I was using the alternate accessory port for the Nulaxy. After about 20 minutes, I reached up to control something on the radio panel and noticed that entire area of my dashboard felt very hot to the touch and would have probably short circuited or started a fire, had I not discovered the over heating by accident. So be careful with this potential hazard. All in all this is a fantastic little unit, which works extremely well and is very user friendly with all of the features one could possible think of, for mobile music linked to your car stereo. I plan on buying a second one to keep in my powerboat and for use in other vehicles.

This is amazing, I honestly didn’t even know there was such a thing I was given a car for my dad, but it’s an old car from 2007 so it didn’t have anything but a CD player/radio, I’ve had that before and other cars, but they had the aux cord option so I never really ran into needing to look for something different. Originally, I was going to look for a new radio, but having to put money into the car to get it fixed to be able to pass inspection, I didn’t really have the money to throw into a radio as well, plus nowadays it’s kind of hard to find somewhere that sells car, radios, and installs them at least where I live. so I started googling to see if I could find anything that I could use to be able to connect my phone to my radio because I absolutely hate my local radio stations. I originally was looking for something like a CD that had Bluetooth on it, but I couldn’t find anything but came across this item and decided to give it a shot. it is super nice. It’s easy to connect. It took me literally just a few seconds to connect to my phone and the radio. You just tune the regular radio to the same station that you have it on with the device, and Bluetooth connects in a matter of seconds. I love that it automatically turns on as long as it’s plugged in and connect to your phone so that way, I don’t have to sit there and connect it and turn it on every time I get into the car, I also love that it has the option to skip a song on the device itself so that way I don’t have to pull out my phone. My steering wheel has a volume option button, but it doesn’t have a skip option so I can’t control it from my steering wheel when I want to change the song, I also like that there’s a pause option if you tap the middle button that you connect with a Bluetooth to pause your music rather than having to pull out your phone. Overall, I have no complaints about this device. I’ve never really had any issues with static as of yet or any other type of weird feedback. There is one time I heard a weird little noise, but it was so quick. I don’t even know if it was from that or my car or something outside and I’ve only heard it once so I can’t even say for sure but as of now there’s no complaints whatsoever and definitely was worth the money and I would definitely buy again if I ever run into having another car that doesn’t have Bluetooth or an aux capability

This Bluetooth adapter works great with older model cars. It plugs directly into my cigarette, lighter and powers up when I start the car. The Bluetooth signal was easy to connect in. The FM tuner is a great way to work the system through my existing car stereo. You just pick an FM station that’s not being used and match it with the output of this adapter. I pre-reset one of my FM radio memory storage buttons so it’s easy to access when I want to use my cell phone.

If you recall back in the 90s there were lots of aftermarket CD player and CD changers designed by Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood and many more that used RF Modulators to transmit through and unused radio station on the FM band. This works the same way, however the RF signal being generated on this unit needs to be stronger. When driving around in the city or any higher populated area where the radio stations would transmit from, you can hear the station (or white noise related to the radio station) on the speakers as you're trying to listen to the content of whatever is connected to this Bluetooth RF device. This makes it not nearly as good as it could be. In some areas were there is less RF energy you only hear the content your play over this device but I would say about 75 percent of the time you can hear noise even if there is nothing playing on this device. One of the most frustrating things about this is that it's avoidable. I'm guessing that the RF power being transmitted from this device to the car radio is likely the max limit the FCC would allow BUT that's not the real problem. The real problem is that the device doesn't go quite lower enough in the FM radio band to get out of the normal range of frequencies that a typical radio station would be on in the first place. The unit only has a range on the FM "dial" between 88.1 Mhz to 107.9Mhz. But most of the older RF modulated devices from the 90s could go down a bit lower to 87.7Mhz where there are no FM radio stations. This makes a huge difference. Since there are usually no stations (or at least no high powered stations) down this low (87.7 to 89.9Mhz) there is little to no noise on the older RF modulated CD changers, etc. but on this you have no choice to be deal with the noise mixing with your played content. Lets than ideal and I'm sure the folks who made it isn't from the US so they may not know that the USA's FM radio band goes lower than what this unit is designed for. My radio in my car goes down to 87.7Mhz. This low on the radio band there is nothing there. If this unit could be programmed down this low the noise wouldn't be a factor.

This Bluetooth car adapter works every well in my 1994 Chevrolet Corvette. The cigarette lighter in these cars is in a very tight location and the standard square head BT car adapters don't fit. This car adapter with the extension for the head works perfectly with my car's cigarette lighter. BEWARE. This adapter stays on when plugged into the car, even when the car is turned off if your cigarette lighter is on a constant hot connection. You should get in the habit of unplugging it before exiting your car.

Facile à installer. Foctionne tres bien

Excellent device. I have an old car, and I’ve gone through many transmitters, and this one is by fae the best. The signal to noise ratio is minimal on an open frequency that doesn’t have a major station playing through it. The clarity and volume that comes through is pretty clean, the bass response is very good. The onboard volume knob is a nice touch as well. The signal is pretty hifi for a transmitter and I can drive with my windows open and can still hear my music with no problem. I used to have a Scoche and over time the volume depreciated, this device seems reliable and super easy to set up. So far so good and no problem. Looks great in my car and more importantly I can hear my music without overbearing noise pollution from static. Music comes through very clean and I am enjoying this device very much. Easiest 5 stars I’ve ever been able to give to a product. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Pour poste sur c5 de 2008 pas de bluetooth et très bon produit

Everything is good, on/off is not available in this item so returned it, purchased in 3290/-, now this costs 2435/-. Customer care offer me 20% discount when I returned it.

Ich konnte meine lieblings Musik hören und die freisprech Anlage funktioniert auch sehr gut.besonders fand ich sehr gut, das man das Navi benutzen konnte und trotzdem seine eigene Musik abspielen kann
