Clydek【Upgraded Version】 FM Transmitter for Car, Bluetooth 5.0 Car Radio Audio Adapter with Dual USB Charge Port, MP3 Player Car Charger Support Hands-free Calling, USB Drive, SD Card (Black)

Disappointing is the best way to describe this product. It does what it says "on the tin" - but... There are two problems with the Clydek FM Transmitter that I purchased. The first is that it generates white noise across the whole FM spectrum, regardless of the frequency it is tuned to. This results in a loud hiss on every other channel as long as it is switched on. The Clydek has to be turned off (pulled out) in order to use the FM radio for (e.g.) BBC Radio 4 - which is a big problem if you also need to use the USB outlets. In order to continue using my USB powered Satnav while listening to a radio station, I have to replace the Clydek with a standard USB adapter - which I can't do whilst driving.The second problem is that it picks up interference from the car engine. This sounds like the traditional atmospherics that you would expect from AM rather than FM. These get worse as you pick up speed making it all but unusable on the motorway. The car radio does not suffer from this problem on FM or AM. It is specific to the Clydek and my guess is that interference from the car's alternator is getting through to an intermediate frequency stage within the Clydek.The weaknesses in this product seem to be all about poor screening. The transmission mask is not good enough - hence the hiss - and it seems to be too vulnerable to the noisy RF environment you get in a car. Based on my experience with the item supplied, I cannot recommend this product.

Excellent gizmo. I have owned other products of this type but this one is best by miles. My car had no Bluetooth so I looked at several options, new stereo, parrot etc. This device looks very discrete, has great features, sounds very good and connects quickly and effortlessly. A perfect solution.

I only got this as a backup USB power supply for the car. Given the negligible price difference I went for this as it has a high power and standard USB port and all the music extras too.I picked the unused 87.5 FM frequency, which should suit most people unless, annoyingly, you have a pirate radio station sitting on that frequency. I am pleasantly surprised with the sound quality as its in a different league to the FM transmitters I tried years ago. A standard length memory stick works well but in my car comes uncomfortably close to fifth gear so I would need a stubby memory stick. Relaying smartphone audio via bluetooth also works well and will probably be best all round. Tested a 1GB microSD card by dumping a several hours of MP3 tracks onto it and that works well too but is less navigable than say using an audio library on your phone. I think I will try a 32GB MicroSD for my next long road trip as that should hold nearly all my music library as MP3 tracks.

At first I thought the product was fantastic, great bit of kit and I could now listen to anything I want through my phone. Pairing was easy enough and worked a charm.Calls aren't that great because you have to almost shout for the microphone to pick up your voice (depending on where your cigarette lighter is)The sound quality isn't the best because it seems nearly all FM frequencies are being used so there was some static at times. You have to manually change the frequency too which wasn't too much of a pain. However if I was in one area on 87.5FM then in another area it was conflicting with a station on that frequency it then became difficult trying to find a clear frequency and adjust the settings whilst driving.This weekend was the first time I drove on the motorway with it and naturally because of the road noise I had to turn up the volume. Thats whem I discovered this high pitched squeal. At first I thought my car was about to explode or something caught in the wheel or the brakes. Then I discovered it was coming from the radio. I tried adjusting the volume on my phone and the Bluetooth FM transmitter to no avail.I'm guessing that it was some kind of electromagnetic interference causing this noise but it only became more prevalent when the audio was turned up on the head unit.Bit disappointing overall.

This is really easy to set up. Just pop it in the charger, tune your stereo to the same frequency that comes up on the device, connect your phone to it via Bluetooth and you're good to go.Sound quality isn't bad for the price. Sometimes there is a crackle. I can get past this, sometimes it's not there at all, sometimes it's very obvious.The sound isn't tinny at all.I don't find it any good for making calls really. Due to the faint crackle, people who you call can hear this on their end.It has a charging usb port within it.Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. It's an ideal cheaper substitute to buying a whole new Bluetooth stereo if you want to play music.
