BestDealUSA Player Transmitter Modulator Remote
I needed something that I could use to play mp3 without getting a whole new stereo. My factory stereo did not have the input for an mp3 player. This does the trick. For the price, you cannot beat it. The only thing that I do not like is the fact you cannot fast forward through the song if you do not like the beginning of a song. When you turn off the car, it will turn off itself. When you turn the car back on, the last song you played will start over. I got this for an mp3 player I have but I do not use my mp3 player in my car anymore. I just put my songs on a flash drive and use that now. It got to my house quick too. You can twist the adjustable shaft to make it fit into the lighter socket better for yourself too. The remote control has to be near for this to work as well but I only use that to change eq. I reccomend you buy this if you are sick of the radio and do not have a tape deck or any other input for an mp3 player. I would have spent much more for something like this. Go ahead and try it. I am happy with it.

So far, I have only used this to play streaming music from my phone wired directly to this device with a 3.5 mm audio cable. It sounds better than other cheap FM transmitters that I've tried before (I have another one that introduces speed dependent engine whine into the audio whereas, this one does not - in the same vehicle).
BalasHapusI have not had to remove the rubber stabilizer at the end of the 12 V accessory plug. I just insert and remove it slowly and gently - in my vehicle this works fine.
I will update this review if there is any change in the audio performance or durability and if I get a chance to try the USB connector/remote control listening option. For $12 I am very happy with it.
i rated this 5stars because all my friends who dont have a car stereo that plays usb now have a ease of changing cd after cd they can plug in their flash and play like rich boy with a remote too this item works great everyone loves it adn using this in their car now
BalasHapusBought this for my car, as It only has a cassette player. I selected an unused frequesncy on my radio, matched it to this device, plugged in a thumb drive with 300 songs on it, and presto- great songs, no commercials!!
BalasHapusIt's a surprise. I didn't expect it so good. I was wondering if the sound quality is not good. It turns out to be as good as a normal radio.

BalasHapusIs a very cheap and good option for improve your cars audio. Sounds clear and with very good quality. Noise between songs is very low (you wont notice it ) and zero noise when playing media. It improve my car stereo from cd to USB and SD card. Buttons are very responsive. I really dont use the remote because my car is little and dont need it. I highly recommed this product.
BalasHapusPreviously I bought an FM transmitter for $46 at a local store. It was a piece of crap with a lot of static noise, completely useless.
BalasHapusThen I found this one on Amazon and I thought for its price this one shouldn't be good either. I read the reviews and bought it and I don't regret it.
It produces a clean signal and the remote works like a charm.
Pros.
- Works like a charm
- Clean signal
- Remote is light and small
- SD and USB for reading MP3 files
Cons.
- I wish the screen was slightly bigger
- It would have been perfect if it could shuffle the songs
Pros:
BalasHapus1. The sound fidelity this transmitter produces is truly amazing for a $10 item.
2. Though nowhere stated, the total harmonic distortion plus noise of the equipment must be less than 1% which for a cheap FM transmitter is pretty good! I know it because I'm a radio ham enthusiast and I own many transmitters, some built by myself.
3. Good PLL circuitry. This simply means that the transmitter locks on a band and does not drift.
4. Pretty powerful and good enough to block interference from external signals.
4. The ability to shift frequency by .1 MHZ across most of the FM spectrum is also a huge plus in case other stations interfere on the chosen band.
5. Plays any mp3 or wma file I throw at it. I still have to stumble on a file that other players can play it but this one chokes on.
6. No need to carry any other cables, adapters or external mp3 devices in the car. This is a truly standalone music unit that pumps audio to your car radio.
7. Slim design and looks pretty good.
Cons:
1. No instructions are included so unless you live in China, nowhere it is explained that the washer on the tip has to be removed.
2. If you catalog your music in folders like me, flipping through those folders can only be done through the included remote control and even so it is cumbersome especially if you have a multi-level structure. It is sometimes better to take out the card and stick it back in since this will reset things and let you start flipping from the root level again.
3. While you are flipping with the remote control, some root level menu options on the dashboard are in Chinese and unfortunately I cannot understand them. Obviously it's my fault. Oh well...
4. The card must be formatted in FAT. It cannot read NTFS formatted volumes.
5. It looks like the songs are sorted and played by date they were written on the SD card and not by name or size. There may be a way to change this but if instructions are in Chinese, I wouldn't know. Even if you change the date of the files after you place them on the card, that wouldn't work either. You'll need to quick format the SD card and place the songs back again, making sure the way they are written on the SD card is the way you would like them to play by the build-in mp3 player.
6. There seems to be no way to fast forward or reverse a song.
7. There also seems to be no apparent way to randomly play the songs.
Despite some of its shortcomings, I give it a 5-star rating because it's a truly good transmitter for the price. Admittedly, it is a very basic mp3 player and lacks various features you may find on cool iPod players, but at least it does not sacrifice quality.
