Agreed! I thought about putting an old ipod in there too but its just too much of a hassle. I also still have unlimited data on iphone so I tend to stream music more than listen to the ipod anyway.

 

I use strictly Spotify/Pandora these days.

 

Just ordered mine Mustang. For this particular transmitter there's no aux Jack right, only the usb?

 

It connects via Bluetooth. It connects as soon as I get in the car and start the engine.

There's a slot for a micro SD card to put music on that, and the USB hookup which I use for charging my phone. Unsure if I can connect via USB never had a need to try.

It also comes with a remote control...why? I do not know.

Pretty decent at phone calls too. MUCH better than my OEM handsfree setup

 

It works well but gets distorted at really high volumes. I like to blast music sometimes so that's the only downfall but everything else is good. I'd give it a 4 star/5.

 

try turning the volume on your phone down and turn the volume up from the head unit. sometimes makes a huge difference. if the phone is at max volume it tends to distort the music, at least in my car

 

Haven't tried that yet. I've tried turning the volume down on the fm transmitter but I had full volume on my phone. I'll try that next. Thx

 

No worries. hope it all works out

 

I bought a factory Apple 30pin to lightning adapter and it sort of worked. It would play music like it would if it were plugged in like an AUX cable. It didn't charge my phone or allow me to use the steering wheel controls. It was basically worthless. I was considering going back in there and changing out the iPhone cable to an AUX cable, but didn't want to spend that kind of money. I'm using the cassette adapter right now.

 

That's why I'm currently just using the $25 Amazon Bluetooth adapter. It gets the job done well enough to my satisfaction short of investing some serious money into it.

I can't justify it with the age/miles on the car. Next car will likely have Bluetooth and such, so I can wait.

 

Okay this fm transmitter just stopped working on me. While I was listening to music, the music stopped and I heard a weird frequency noise then it disconnected from bluetooth. I've tried to reconnect it again but it doesn't come up as an option when trying to scan from my phone. I tried turning it on and off and my Bluetooth on and off from my phone and nothing. This thing is crap. I don't recommend it

 

Mine does this too. Hold down the power button for a few seconds. Let go and then hold it down until you hear the frequency noise again. Should connect right back up. No idea why it does this but it is annoying on longer trips.

 

I just tried that and it doesn't make a frequency noise when I turn it on again no matter how long I hold the button. Like my phone doesn't even find it when I scan and I have a note 5

 

You can always burn your music to CDs and play them through the CD player. That's what I did with my Accord so I wouldn't lose XM radio. My G35 on the other hand, already had an IPod cable set up. Thank God too, before I noticed the cable I had to listen to FM for an hour or two.

 

^^^You could have turned off the radio, plugged headphones into the ipod and been set w/o having to suffer through FM trash. Just sayin.........
