Review on 🚗 Beinhome FM Transmitter Car Kit with 3.5mm Aux Port - Wireless Audio Adapter for Car iPhone, iPod, iPad, MP3 Players & More! by Scott Hall

My car's cigarette lighter doesn't work and it doesn't have an auxiliary audio input, so I have to use a battery powered radio transmitter to listen to music from my phone. This is the second one I've bought; The first one lasted about three years and was quite similar to this one. There are a few design flaws here that I don't think are too unexpected given the price. The device is intended for use with a phone that has a headphone jack at the top of the screen; I have an iPhone so I need to use a dongle to connect it to the lightning port below. This reverses the digit display, which wasn't a problem with my old transmitter. The power switch is very cheap and poorly secured. After literally a week of use the switch literally fell off and now I have to stick the tip of a pencil or pen in the hole where the switch should be to toggle it on and off. Battery life compared to my old one. I was able to get 5-6 hours of use out of the old one fairly easily, even though the battery was slowly dying after a few years of use. I was lucky enough to get 2.3-3 hours of it which is very disappointing. I suspect this device will not last that long. Regardless, it serves its purpose. When it's charged and turned on, it actually transmits sound quite well. The market for this product is small so I'm stuck on what I can get. If it's the best quality available then I must seriously consider replacing my sound system or having my lighters repaired.
