Default Bluetooth FM transmitter

I have the single stock radio/CD player in my 2002 and since I've been a "prime" member I have accumulated a pretty good library of digital music along with the ability to listen to just about anything over my phone. Instead of changing my whole system or modifying the existing one I pulled the trigger on one of these and was wondering if anyone else has tried this or something like it. Are the Bose radios in our cars user friendly with these?

I recently purchased a Nulaxy Wireless USB adapter from Amazon and extremely happy with the result. Very simple to use and the sound quality is awesome too. I am sure others may have a different opinion on these adapters but it comes down to what you purchase.

No modification on your system. Just plug it in, turn on your radio, match up the channel, connect your phone and you're good to go.

Seconded. Got it today. Works well so far. And for $12 it was worth a gamble.

It doesn't work too well in cities and large urban areas as almost every band is taken up. Otherwise, it works decently, but I much prefer the bluetooth stereo replacement.

I used this:

https://www.amazon.com/Safergo-One-Button-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Cellphones/dp/B01I992LGY

Doesn't work for hands free calls but for music it was just fine for me. It does alert you when a call is coming in though.

Good enough for me.

I use an FM transmitter with the Micro SD card reader as well. It works perfectly with no issues.

According to the description it looks like it can handle up to 32gb.

5. WHAT IS MORE - Built-in microphone feature supports hands-free talking; support TF/MicroSD Card in FAT format up to 32G; support A2DP; support MP3/WMA format; support AUX output and input.

Thanks for the post. I'm sick and tired of the iPhone7 that doesn't work with a splitter and my old FM transmitter. I bought another, similar model on Amazon that's small enough to fit entirely inside of the center console.

Got mine the other day and had a chance to try it out--come to find out that my cig lighter in the dash doesn't work but I tried it with the console plug and it works really well. The sound, once adjusted is nearly CD quality. It does seem a snug fit up front and it's in the way when I put it in park so I got one of these and just use console plug along with the acc cup holder.

Amazon Amazon

Working out OK for now.

Yes, I have a similar unit. I can play music from my phone through the car stereo on an unused FM station, make, & receive calls too just like the cool kids.
