If you have an old car with no bluetooth, there are adapter kits for around $200 that allow you to splice bluetooth directly into the audio system. The audio quality will be much better than the FM transmitter and you won't have to constantly switch frequencies on long trips. Many also come with a microphone for phone calls.
The install is easy, generally requiring only interior pry tools (< $10), screwdriver, and some adhesive/zipties to secure the module inside your dashboard.

- lostmsu 3y agoYes, for $30. And they even have convenient control buttons.
- echoangle 3y agoI bought one for $3 or so on AliExpress and to my ears it sounds fine, some audio enthusiasts might hear a difference to a $30 version though
- blt 3y agothis is for systems that don't have an aux input.
- schwartzworld 3y agoIf you have a tape deck, that's another surgery-free way to patch in an external audio source. Those adapters are like 10 bucks.
- gia_ferrari 3y agoThey're also a cheap and easy source of tape heads for projects/replacements.

- daemonologist 3y ago30 bucks? You can buy an adapter for $1.50 with free shipping from the usual Chinese retailers. (I think they were talking about vehicles without a 3.5mm or similar audio input though. There's probably still analog audio in there somewhere which could be spliced into, but the kit might make it easier.)
- vermaden 3y agoTo be honest - I am not really interested in Bluetooth in my car - I just wanted a solution that would play my MP3's with random order and nothing more. The BLOW FM transmitter I use - besides having Bluetooth - also have a builtin microphone - so I may connect phone to it and even use it for loud phone talks ... but I really prefer current MP3's on USB and just play 'setup'. ... and I do not see any difference between CD quality or this FM transmitter quality ... but I am not an audiophile either - so maybe there will be some people that hear the difference. Having 40 years at my neck I will hear less and less frequencies so I believe that will not be a problem :) Regards, vermaden
