Review on Bluetooth Transmitter Accessories Guanda Handsfree by Jesse Azuse

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works perfectly. Especially in old cars without audio inputs (music + phone calls!)

So I wanted this thing for Christmas. and it works better than i thought! It's actually a lot simpler than my current integrated SUV system (which I still can't securely pair with my phone). This "just works". and once your radio is set to Xmitter it will even say "Pairing Attempted". and device is paired. So it's cool. Not only that, but you can also use it as a BTooth input device to skip, control and pause songs on your phone/device. So it's cool. While the color display looks very cool. The only thing that bothered me (as a recovering audiophile) was that the spectrum analyzer (cool looking pulsing display) was actually fake. It took me a while to notice (it just keeps humming on quiet interludes and solo vocals), but short-haul or unknowing passengers will likely never notice. but it looks cool. So it's fake. but it looks like a fake. :) I didn't even know he took calls. until someone called me And it feels clearer and more functional than my phone's speakerphone. So it's cool! Another benefit is that it has USB ports for charging (which is GREAT because I don't have any other power source to charge my batteries). plus shows the voltage level of my car battery. A very handy feature (if not underestimated) given that one day your generator will burn out. In fact, your car battery voltage may start to drop (below 13 volts) about 20 minutes before your engine dies. So if you ever find that the voltage can drop like that, you can go to a safe place to fix it, or you can get a fee. pretty amazing for that price. He brought my ancient outback into the current millennium with "old technology". it also looks pretty cool. The only thing to watch out for is: - Make sure you turn the volume up on your PHONE almost to the maximum. Otherwise, the radio output will have a lot of hissing, to hear the music at an acceptable level - I recommend tuning one of the pre-programmed car radio channels to the xmitter frequency. So you can switch from the regular radio. just to your phone (and don't disturb your regular radio/news stations. Also note that if you have a 12V plug always on, it will drain your battery without ever turning off. (I'm lucky. Mine turns off with the car ignition. Otherwise I would have to turn it off when not in use.) - Although the button in the center WILL CHANGE the output volume of the device. It does not stop the music by clicking on it. The pause function seems to be a to be the high side buttons.Somewhat inconvenient.But I think can be used.
