China cheap Bluetooth FM Car Transmitter
Remember the post I made and mods deleted it cause they thought it was spam?
The one where I was asking about the FM transmitter. Cost me $6.62 shipped to my front door.
Bought 3 of them. 2 where the same, ie red, the other is a bit different with wheel control.
Received the 2 red ones today and of course had to try it out.
Cell phone calls worked ok, not great but ok
To answer calls I do have to push a button on the transmitter.
Need to learn how to make voice activated phone calls.
Had to pair the cell phone with the FM transmitter. Was a breeze to do.
Did not come with any instructions
I just got on my Gphone S3, setting, bluetooth ON, and scan
It found a weird name but I changed it to FM Transmitter.
To play music, well I did not have nor tried a micro sd card.
Will do that later.
I was able to play music on/from the phone thru the car stereo..using the phone's media player.
I had to connect the 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male cable but it is a bit too small.
Need to get a longer one. I know I have some....somewhere.
I was hoping that the FM transmitter would receive the music from my phone without connecting any wire and then transmit it to the car radio.
I thought that was what bluetooth was for.
What surprised me is this, the low cost of the unit, only $6.62 each delivered to my front door. They had a sale so I jumped on it
Does anybody else have any experience with FM transmitters like this?

I did order/bought another one, a bit different but it has not arrived.
Cost me more, $11.60 verses $6.62 and has steering wheel control

Mods, yes this is my post, not spam
Not selling anything just pointing out what I bought/ how it worked out/ my experience with it.

One bad:
It will not play FLAC music files directly from the micro SD card.
It plays mp3s.
Most of my music is in FLAC format. but I can play the FLAC files on my Gphone S3's media player and then onto the cars stereo using the FM transmit function.
Second bad:
The small LCD screen is so hard to read during the day.
Last night it was fine, guess cause it was dark
Third bad:
Will not take the micro SD card directly. I have to insert it into
a micro SD to SD USB converter.
Would be nice to just insert the micro SD card directly into the device.
One less thing (adapter) to keep track of.
