Review Avantek FM Transmitter Car Kit, Universal Car Kit MP3 player with 3.5mm jack, car charger and USB port.
For all those who have an audio system in the car with only the CD input, or an old radio that you dig, and you want to listen to streaming music on your phone or your MP3 player, here Avantek comes to the rescue with the Avantek FM Transmitter Car Kit. The packaging is clean, comfortable and practical, with the right dose of simplicity that appeals.
Operation is very simple, because once connected to the car, (12V or 24V) via the cigarette lighter socket and connect the 3.5mm jack on your smartphone or your MP3 player, you’ll just have to choose the frequency radio through the selector and then just go to tune your car radio in that same frequency. At this point, you start the music from your device, and like magic, you will feel it out from the speakers of your car.
Be careful not to tune in to 103.3 or RDS Radio 105, you risk hearing your music and your phone calls to everyone tuned to that frequency within 15 feet (4.5 meters). Pleasant and striking blue backlight USB port contained in the cigarette lighter connector, useful at night to plug your phone in office without going blind.
Of course, to move from one track to another or select a folder or a different album, you will have to work with your media player, the small Avantek device screen does not have other duties than to indicate the radio frequency range. Missing a double-sided adhesive to fix the display on the dashboard, but they are details.
Inside the box : FM Transmitter, Cable 3.5mm Jack Maschio, cigarette lighter connection, Instruction booklet (English, German and Chinese).
Our Opinion
And a simple product of secondhand fascinating precisely because of this, extreme simplicity and utility. The audio transmission quality is not equal to the direct playback from the car, as it transmits cmq with radio frequencies, it works very well and has a large working radius.
