Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this at a discount, blah blah that’s true - but I believe in reviews! Reviews are the backbone of Amazon! Here we go! The concise version: it works great - have no fear! If your power port is hard to reach, the T10 FM transmitter will be equally hard to reach. The longer version: I’ve got a stock 2004 Honda Odyssey with no way to plug in an auxiliary jack (without taking the dash apart - no bueno). I’ve been using a tape cassette adapter to play music from my phone but I wanted something better. I had used FM transmitters back in the day when it was a new thing - like 1st and 2nd generation iPods - so around 2003ish. They were ok, but that was about it. I’ve had bluetooth radios in my other cars and I’ve gotten used to it, when I got this van it suddenly seemed quite lacking in the audio department. So I’m cruising a discount site, come across this cool looking bluetooth FM transmitter and figure “why not?”. The first thing I noticed was that it was smaller than I had anticipated, not in a bad way, but I took some pictures to give a good representation of it’s size. It does feel very well made. Not cheesy at all. My wife and I took it out of the box and headed right out to the Odyssey to try it out. She plugged it in, it fired up, you press the main button to get it ready to pair with your device, it was already transmitting to a low band FM station which we’d dialed in on the radio, over the speakers came a movie announcer type voice that told it was pairing. My wife selected in on her Samsung 7 and off we go - started playing Pandora right from there. From the T10 you can pause the song, adjust the volume, skip to the next or previous track and it all worked fine. I tried pairing with my iPhone 6S+ and it didn’t find the T10. My wife turned her bluetooth off on her phone and my phone immediately found the T10 - so it’ll only pair with one device at a time. Makes sense. I started playing music directly from my phone and it played fine as well. I also plugged my phone it with the provided mini-jack cord like you would a traditional iPod and it playing great. At first we couldn’t hear any music when it said it was transmitting - you need to make sure the volume is turned up on your phone, in your car, and on the T10 itself. We shut the car off (which kills the power to the T10 via the cigarette lighter) and then turned the car back on. The T10 announced it was looking for my wife’s phone to pair, it found the phone, announced that it had paired and we were back to playing music. Sweet! So it’ll pair to the last known device. We played music and it sounded great, no distortion like many of the old school FM transmitters. The video on Amazon shows you adjusting the overall volume via the T10 - with your phone and car volume at fixed levels. This would work fine for many cars - but alas I have a minivan. And there is the one drawback to the T10 for my particular situation - my one power port is 1 inch off the floor, way down by my feet and behind a little trash can we have in there. It totally fits, but is in no way easy to reach or adjust. I’m not taking any stars off for that because it’s totally the layout of my van and no fault of the T10 - I’m sure it’d fit great in many sedans or any kind of car that has a power port thats within easy reach. My solution was to leave the volume up on my phone, turn the volume most of the way up on the T10, and then just adjust the volume like normal through the cars controls - works just fine. Oh yeah! I almost forgot the charger that’s built in! It also works like a champ. It’s rated at 2.1 amps which is more than enough for any phone and will even charge tablets. I plugged in my phone to the charger and back into the T10 via the 1/8” cord - I wanted to see if this would create a ground loop scenario. Nope! It sounded just fine. I texted my wife after she drove the Odyssey to work this morning… Me, “so the fm transmitter worked fine?” Her, “yep, it works pretty good (: “ Me, “sweet" So that’s about it! I was hesitant to get an FM transmitter based on my experiences in the past with them - but this one sounds great! It pairs quick and easy. It takes any type of input via a 1/8” cord (regular headphone jack) and it has a miniSD slot (I didn’t try the SD card), and it has a built in charger. What’s not to love?! If your power port is nice and conveniently accessibly - I totally recommend the T10!
