Bluetooth pairing name: “NX09”
FM Range: 88.1-107.9
LED selection: RGB, yellow/green, purple, teal, white, none
When this starts up, you see voltage for a brief window the voice notification is “at normal voltage, Bluetooth mode.” The female voice is really robotic, more so than any of the other adapters. At a passing glance, you could have sworn it said “abnormal voltage,” but looking at the manual that’s not even a possible option. Once connected it says “Bluetooth connection success.” There’s faint line noise at lvl 45 on my OEM Toyota stereo and the adapter set at level 30 (max). You need to long press the >> button until the station flashes and then you can use the << and >> buttons to change station value. If you have an overhanging/underhanging console, you can rotate the adapter so that all the buttons are accessible (microSD/LED selection on left, USB on top, controls on bottom) but since it’s only the right side wall is blank, everything is going to be 90 degrees offset.
Bluetooth pairing name: “BC89”
FM Range: 87.5-108.0
LED selection: red, green, blue, yellow/brown, yellow/green, teal, purple, none
This is one of two adapters that actually uses real metal (aluminum in the body, though in this case, it’s only the walls of the fat bulb sticking out of the socket. The body of the socket itself is transparent dark blue ABS plastic. Starting up, you see “HI” (no idea why they did this) then voltage for a brief moment, afterwards the female voice notification is “normal voltage, Bluetooth mode, wait for connection.” Then you get “Bluetooth connection success” after pairing. The voice for “normal voltage” enunciates “normal” more clearly than Nulaxy, and oddly “normal voltage” part of the voice is different than “Bluetooth mode, wait for connect.”
There’s a small noticeable whine in the line noise at lvl 45 on my OEM Toyota stereo and the adapter set at level 31 (max). The controls are nice. The 4-way joystick like button make it easy to control. You need to long press down to change channel then toggle up and down on joystick to change value. The LED selection button sits on the top of the side wall, but since it’s the only control, it’s easy to rotate to be accessible if your console is in the way.
Bluetooth pairing name: “C57”
FM Range: 88.1-107.9
LED selection: N/A
If you like no frills, this is probably the right adapter. No LED illumination ring at all. There is no notification on voltage. It is just displayed briefly and is only forefront if it’s under 12V, which is when it will blink as an alert. Otherwise, the male voice simply states “waiting for pairing” and then “paired.” The front display is not shiny. It’s just matte black and the LED is illuminated through it. There’s faint line noise at lvl 45 on my OEM Toyota stereo and the adapter set at level 30 (max). You need to long press on center button until the station value is flashing to change the station.
Bluetooth pairing name: “BH347”
FM Range: 87.5-108.0
LED selection: N/A
The female voice on this sounds ok, nothing quirk, but still quite stiff. It goes “Bluetooth mode” then “Bluetooth connected.” There’s faint line noise at lvl 45 on my OEM Toyota stereo and the adapter set at level 30 (max). More so than the C57 and NX09, but less than the BC89. To change the channel, you need to short press the center button then you can use the << and >> to change value. With our overhanging console, we often find ourselves rotating the plug 90 degrees to keep all the buttons accessible.
Bluetooth pairing name: “Carkit”
FM Range: 88.1-107.9
LED selection: red, green, blue, orange, lime, teal, purple, none
This has a similar voice to the NX09 adapter, but more natural sounding – “normal voltage, wait for connection” and “bluetooth connection success.” It does the same “HI” thing as the BC89 and has the same voice sequence; along with the box design (and model name – BC41) makes me think they are out of the same factory. The “normal voltage” sequence of the voice sounds different here too, similar to BC89; there are two different voices. There’s some slight line noise at lvl 45 on my OEM Toyota stereo and the adapter set at level 30 (max). To change the channel, you need to short press the center button then you can use the << and >> to change value.
Bluetooth pairing name: “BC61”
FM Range: 87.5-108.0
LED selection: N/A (just blue)
The voice on this sounds similar to the Carkit and the BC89 (fairly natural) – “power on, Bluetooth waiting for connection” then “Bluetooth connected.” The enunciation in the voice sounds correct, but it’s like they spliced two different parts of a conversation together. The “power” part sounds like it was recorded/generated separately from “on” and there’s a slight “bluue toooth” sound that makes you think that you are listing to two separate words rather than one.
It also does the same “HI” start message with battery voltage briefly displayed like the Carkit and BC89. There’s some slight line noise at lvl 45 on my OEM Toyota stereo and the adapter set at level 30 (max). The thing about this that is unique is the all aluminum body construction. You can feel it’s sturdiness. All the controls and ports are in the face, which makes it less cumbersome to fiddle with. Long press down on call button to change station. While it’s nice to have a PD port, it would have been even better to have two full sized USB ports, probably the only gripe.
Bluetooth pairing name: “BH549”
FM Range: 87.5-108.0
LED selection: LED light, low, none
The battery voltage is displayed briefly on startup, then the voice goes “power on, Bluetooth, waiting for connection” then “Bluetooth is connected.” It sounds awefully similar to the RIWUSI adapter. The “power” and “on” sound ok but there is a distinct “Bluuue tooooth” that follows. It’s much more pronounced and noticeable than the BC61 adapter. Oddly, the second “Bluetooth” in “Bluetooth is connected” sounds fine. There’s some slight line noise at lvl 45 on my OEM Toyota stereo and the adapter set at level 30 (max) that seems a bit more noticeable than other adapters save the whine on the BC89. The buttons on this are a bit frustrating since there’s no tactile feedback. To change the channel, you long press down on the center than use << and >> to tweak station value. However, think of a touchscreen without any vibrate or audio cue. The touch sensor exists but there are no physical buttons in that nothing depresses or moves. That makes you sometimes second guess if you actually touched the button successfully to register a hit. This adapter has a larger face, but even if your console overhangs a bit (like mind), it still small enough that nothing butts up against anything.
Bluetooth pairing name: “JJ-CCB01”
FM Range: 88.1-107.9
LED selection: LED light, none
The adapter has no voice notification. You see battery voltage briefly and hear a chime when starting up and when Bluetooth is connected. There’s little line noise at lvl 45 on my OEM Toyota stereo and the adapter set at level 30 (max). The controls on this are nice. It’s like a toggle knob. You long press down until channel flashes, then turn the knob left and right to change channel. The knobs only turn maximum about 30 degrees each way similar to car radios, so you kind of flick your way to channel you want to set. The problem for many will be that the dual mics are situated at the top, so if you have an overhanging console, not only does it make it a tight squeeze, but it also blocks a clear path to pickup audio.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2022So I had a fancy Sequoia Platinum with ALL the bells and whistles... but we sold it a few years ago to free up funds to be more involved with our church and community. We replaced the Sequoia with an early 2000’s vehicle, which only has a CD player (idk the last time I bought a CD lol!). This FM Transmitter has easy instructions and install. I just plugged the device in, found a clear station (88.5 in my case; which was also what the FM transmitter was already set to), saved it to favorites, and paired it with my phone. I’ve had it for months now, and it’s worked great from day one! I haven’t had any problems with sounds quality, static, etc. I like that I can remove it when not in use, and when I plug it back in, everything is still set and it automatically pairs to my phone. Such a great purchase!!! Pleasantly surprised considering the price (a little over $20 when I purchased). The metal feels substantial (not cheap feeling at all), and makes it look more expensive.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2023I have a 2015 Honda CRV-Touring. The phone I originally had when we bought this car, was a Samsung FE20. The Bluetooth worked perfectly with Honda Link and my Samsung phone. If I'd known the newer phone that I bought in October 2022 (Google Pixel 7 Pro) would be CRAP when it comes to Bluetooth, I would have never bought it. I cannot for the life of me, [and it is super frustrating] get the Bluetooth on my Pixel to work in conjunction with the Honda Link in my car. So, I had to buy a transmitter like this one in order to listen to music the way I want to listen to it. The only place I have available to plug this transmitter into is low and to the right of the console. Consequently, this would be perfect for whomever is sitting in the passenger seat as they can reach it easier than I can. But that is not the fault of the manufacturer of this product. Since it is harder for me to reach the phone/music button on this, it can't be pressed correctly unless I am looking directly at it—which is difficult to do when I am driving (many times I have pressed it wrong while driving). So, I don't use that feature unless I use it before I start to drive or when parked. If it had a phone only button, then I could probably press it with confidence without having to look at it. When I have talked using the phone feature, the sound quality is clear and we can hear each other just as good as when I was able to talk handsfree with my other smart phone (Samsung FE20). I do like the charging ports. It charges super-fast. Almost better than the dedicated Google stand that I have for my current phone. However, the sound quality for music, not so great. I have excellent car speakers for which the higher the volume number the louder it is. Sound volume number 10 is usually the perfect sound volume. But with the transmitter, I have to turn it all the way up to 20--which without the transmitter and with my previous Samsung phone, would have been waaaaaaay too loud--as in could make me eventually deaf loud. The fact that I have to now use 20 on the volume for the sound to remotely normal, is inconvenient. When I switch to the actual radio dials on the car, sometimes I forget that the sound is way up for the transmitter, so when I drive clients, or friends, when I turn on the car---it’s like a loud alarm to them and I have been embarrassed on more than one occasion. I probably should have returned this transmitter for something better, but after the many hours/days of research/reading reviews just to find this one, I was too tired and too busy to go through that all over again. In regards to possible battery drain if the transmitter is left plugged in, I have had no problems with that which I am grateful for. This transmitter is a tight squeeze into its location and it’s not easy to pull out and put back in, so I just leave it plugged in.

Having 2 sized USBs is perfect for us as our phones are different and one works for each of us. Charges my phone crazy fast. Have not really used with phone calls...not expecting much since it's a convertible. TWENTY DOLLARS?! Worth every penny!
