It works!
I bought this as I needed a way to play music (from a USB) into my car's audio system. the car is 14 years old and has an AM/FM radio and CD player but no facility to plug in an auxiliary source. The car does have bluetooth which I use for my phone. So I just wanted something small that I could plug my USB into and tune it into a spare channel on the FM band. And that's exactly what I did and it's excellent. You can even go forward or backwards to each track on your USB file. Great product!

Great For Playing (Phone) Streaming Music And Making Phone Calls In The Car
I don't normally write reviews but I thought I would in this case as it may help others looking at purchasing this device.For the last 10 years, I've been using a wired Parrot car kit to stream music and to make / receive phone calls in the car - Unfortunately my car didn't come with a factory fitted Bluetooth radio at the time, so this was the next best option.Recently the remote control for the Parrot kit broke, and as the system is now discontinued, I'm unable to purchase a replacement unit. As I'm looking at replacing my car later this year, I decided it wouldn't be a great investment to spend ~£200 having the old wired kit removed / replaced, and therefore started looking at alternative options.After many hours reading reviews of various Bluetooth / FM transmitters, I decided to take a gamble and buy the VicTsing BH347 transmitter to see if it would be up to the job of streaming music and making phone calls whilst on the move.I'll be honest - For £15 my expectations were low. Very low.The device arrived a few days after placing the order and was very simple to set up - It probably took less than 3 minutes to unbox it, establish a Bluetooth connection with my phone and then link it to an unused, "blank" FM channel (I use 87.5 MHz) on the car radio. The controls are simple to use too.So - What's it like ?Music -> I was blown away by the music sound quality streaming from my phone (i.e. Spotify) and being output via the car speakers. The sound is crisp and the volume is easily controlled via the car radio itself. Occasionally there might be the odd interference crackle here and there due to the FM transmitter -> car radio connection, but I was honestly shocked at how well this cheap device performs against the wired Parrot kit it's replacing.Phone Calls (Incoming Audio) -> Hearing what the other person is saying is crystal clear with the sound being output via the car speakers. Volume is again easily controlled via the car radio.Phone Calls (Outgoing Audio) -> Difficult to personally gauge as I'm in the car and I can't hear what the other person is hearing !!! That said, the people I've spoken to from the car have mentioned that I sound quite "distant" and that it's not always easy to hear me. I suspect that this is caused by the fact that the microphone on the FM transmitter, located in the power socket in front of the gear stick is now much further away from me than what they were used to with the wired kit which had a dedicated dual microphone fixed near the main mirror. Can they hear me clearly above the road noise, etc., probably not, BUT, we were able to have a conversation, and I compensated a bit by trying to talk more loudly. Given that I try not to talk on the phone in the car for long periods, because I'd rather concentrate on the driving itself, for me this is not an issue.If you are looking for a cheap solution to give you hands free phone capabilities in the car, with the added bonus of being able to stream music, especially if you don't have a Bluetooth radio, I'd thoroughly recommend taking a look at this product.

Excellent & useful accessory for early car or van without Bluetooth!
I just took delivery of a ford transit connect 2012 Model which uses the old ford 6000 CD radio system thinking it would have Bluetooth? mainly because the system has phone buttons on the display? i was disappointed to find Bluetooth wasn't actually installed, and then someone suggested i try a FM transmitter so after reading reviews i plumped for the VicTsing BH347 (Upgraded Version) V5.0 Transmitter.i wasn't really expecting much and especially for the cheap price? i was really amazed at the quality of this little gem. it took me 5 mins to install, and everything was up and running, it paired my phone instantly and also paired to a vacant FM slot immediately, i tried a USB stick loaded with songs and it played through my van speakers with a quality as good as the CD player? i have used it travelling about answering the phone, playing music, and the google sat nav is also excellent through the vans own speakers. there has been no change in the quality of sound whilst driving around, there are a couple of iffy reviews on this item that don't stack up, such as crackling or whistling in the background? all i can verify is the item i bought? does nothing like this and so far has performed flawlessly and i would personally highly recommend it to anyone, wanting to upgrade an older model car or van to have enabled Bluetooth with all the trimmings. its small, well made, unobtrusive, and most importantly the sound is quality either with phone or whilst playing music....Buy it.

Works brilliantly if your have a clear frequency
Great product! Works well in all cars with my iphone 8plus. Sound quality and signal is excellent! I have a 2003 BMW M3 convertible E46 and in that car it picks up a faint but regular intermittent signal every 5 seconds... it’s only audible in quiet classical pieces. It must be interference from the car’s ownBluetooth phone system circa 2003 but it proves you can play all your podcasts and Toones in any age of car! My only criticism is that I wish the led display could be dimmed.

Effective Bluetooth transmitter.
Tried this because replacement car has no aux input or Bluetooth and don't carry cds anymore. Decent instructions, easy to set up once you've found an empty FM channel. Works a treat with ipod and digital radio via mobile phone. Good value.

Works well... but
Bought first one on recommendation from a friend it arrived and setup was ralayively easy.Handsfree was clear and audible from both sides of the call. Slight issue with streaming in that if a near frequency radio station is weak the BH347 interferes with it (if you unplug the B347 the ststion becomes clearer. This occured at both ends of the frequecy range 108 and 80+.Colleagues one did not do this so re ordered another and the replacement is better.

Excellent easy bluetooth charger
This is the second one I have purchased as I have two cars. Very easy to use and excellent quality. Delivery was quicker than stated so excellent service also. Would definitely recommend.

Great product
My car stereo only has options for the radio or CDs. There is no usb or aux socket so I cannot listen to music from my phone or iPod. This bluetooth transmitter has solved the problem and seems to be good quality (bluetooth sound is never quite as good).My previous bluetooth transmitter fell out of the lighter socket every time I went over a speed bump and needed complicated reconnection that wasn't safe to perform whilst driving. This one seems far more secure and therefore safer to use when driving.It connected immediately once I had found the corresponding frequency on my radio.I haven't yet tried it for phone calls but it plays music well.
