Usual Excellent Service
Ordered this bluetooth kit Sunday evening & received it Tuesday morning. Very quick & an advisory email telling me it had been dispatched on the Monday.
The unit itself was very quick & easy to set up. My Galaxy S2 works brilliantly with it for hands free phone calls & for music. Excellent.

Few niggles on a good product
A nice looking bit of kit that functions well, providing that you want to use it all the time. It can be a fiddle if you get a call whilst listening to a CD, you have to switch this on, retune the radio and wait a few seconds for the connection to be made with your handset before you can use the handsfree. But I bought it to play my mp3 easily in the car and it works great for that. (just remember to make sure it is well seated in the car socket - it tends to work loose). I was impressed by the hands free quality in the car

Most useful gadget I've bought for my car
Having decided not to plump for the £450 extra for the built-in handsfree kit on my car, and not wanting to spend £100+ on an after-market kit, I stumbled across this. Now I can take calls when I'm on the road (has come in handy a couple of times when things have been broken and I've been called to head back to work to fix them!). It also means I can hook up to Google Navigation/Google Music on my Android and not have to strain to hear the tinny voice as I'm gunning it down the motorway (and missing my exit because I couldn't hear it!)
A simple bit of kit, but does the job ... and great if you ever have to get a courtesy car!

Brilliant
This thing is great. Conversation sound is great, even in my missus's rattly tin box car. Music sound is pretty good too. Controls work fine. Does sometimes slip down out of the fag lighter as it's quite long and has a certain weight to it...

Really really pleased with this product, a must for the in-car hand free,, delivery service first class. Many thanks. Will be spreading the word about this product. Amazing.

motorola xoom
I am a taxi driver and I have a Motorola xoom that I use for internet music and watching video my problem was the sound is not loud enough for me so i was lookiing for a way to connect to my car stereo and use the speakers I found this and it works great connected quickly and now all sound coming through car speakers its really great. My only one dissapointment was that it has no battery and constantly has to be connected for charging but overall for price and quality of use I would recommend this. And I forgot to mention also bluetooth for my phone im a happy chappy

My third excellent purchase
Simply a quality product. If you don't have built-in bluetooth in your car, look no further than here. Powered bluetooth audio beats an Itrip hands down. Mobilefun service is excellent.

Great Prouct
Having looked at more expensive bluetooth FM transmitter kits I have to say for the money it's very good.The clarity of the phone is superb and the FM transmitter for for playing music is also excellent.
I I have any criticism it would be that if you should charge your mobile device while using the FM transmitter to play music you seem to get some interference come through your speakers. But forgetting that minor gripe I think it's a great product and excellent value for money.

Good sound quality but can be a fiddle
I got this as I wanted to play my windows phone audio in my car at an acceptable quality.
I am able to listen and hear every word. However every half hour I must reset the FM frequency which is a fiddle.
I must also change the frequency back if I listen to a radio station and my phone rings.
So it meets my requirements but nerds getting used to. Easy installation. Good price.

Great Buy
For me works great, the sound of the music was far better than I thought it would be & far better than the radio. Works great with tom-tom satnav on my iPhone while playing music.
The only small problem can be the connection to the lighter can some times be a bit temperamental.
Over all even with the small problem listed above a great buy, well happy and I'm going to order another for the wife.

Not a bad piece of kit but with some caveats
Overall, the purpose I purchased this device is which is to transmit stored music/podcasts from my mobile phone whilst driving. It does this well, but a few things need to be made clear.
1. What is a clear radio station when you tune in the device is not guaranteed to be a clear radio station throughout your journey.
2. My experience of charging whilst listening to music reveals a background noise similar to that of someone jangling a bunch of keys. Also present is some engine feedback whine.
3. Whilst on a call and charging reports by the person you are speaking to are that it is impossible to conduct a conversation. Removing the device from charge remedies this.
4. The bluetooth connection works faultlessly, I had no problem connecting my devices to the unit.
5. The connection between the unit and my car radio was also very good. Only interference was when passing under power cables and I don't think this would be the only device affected by this scenario.
Overall, good, not excellent as it's let down by the problems whilst it is charging but overlook those and it's a reasonable item that met my initial requirements.

does the job
The bluetooth phone side of this car kit works fine although there is background noise when playing my ipod through the fm transmitter and a buzzing when on charge but for the price I am not disappointed with the purchase.

Does what it says, well
Simple to connect to my phone (iphone 4) and great quality but can have some back ground noise if no music is playing (could just be the station I use) simple to control phone using the buttons and can also charge my phone using it. Great product, definitely recommend it!!!!

It does what it says on the tin
Most impressed with the product. Ive not noticed any interferance when streaming music from my I phone. If there is anything negative about the product its that the volume is set to 20 out of 30 so instead of keep turning the volume up everytime u want 2 use it you end up turning your system volume up 2 double what u would usually hav it at. So lets face it its no massive hardship. But my main problem with the product is that the the base of the stem that fits in2 your cigarette lighter doesnt fit as well as it could why isnt it exactly the same as the end of the cigarette lighter? ive ended up using a strip of plastic 2 aid stoppin the product moving and disconnecting when ever I take a corner whilst driving. So note 2 the manufacturors sort this problem and your product wil b flawless!.

Great piece of kit
Worked straight out of the box with my iPhone as a phone and playing music. I've previously had Parrot blue tooth sets that are fitted to and therefore stay with the car. I can take this with me (even when I hire a car).

Superb
Can't quite get over it - got my iPhone 6 months ago and always fancied a Bluetooth device for both music and calls. Saw this device and initial though was it looked good but the price seemed too cheap which now I have the item it is ! It took no more than 3 mins to set up and works fantastically well. The internal mic picks up voice very well which was surprising - only slight niggel is that when I get a call I need to turn up the cars stereo to have a proper conversation then turn it back down when the music kicks in. Two words - buy it !

Great value. Easy to use.
I bought this product after looking at getting a Parrot Kit. The real bonus is it can be swapped from one vehicle to another with out any bother. It was quick and easy to set up; pair your phone with it (takes 20 secs) tune it to an available frequency and then start making calls!
It is also able to play music from your phone through the vehicle's speakers. Once the device is paired, just press play.
Speedy delivery time too.

Good idea, bad execution
The idea - to have a proper line-in, line-out, Bluetooth A2DP and radio xmit in one device is excellent even without adding a USB charge socket. Adding the USB charge socket is a touch of genius which makes the idea simply brilliant. However the execution is quite poor.
1. My unit arrived with a duff left channel.
2. The 12V power input has no stabilisation and quite clearly does not have any capacitors to carry it across power surges from turning on the engine. As a result you lose your handsfree everytime you crank-up the engine.
3. It is not possible to turn the kit around the gooseneck to any degree so on cars with strange socket positions like a Honda FRV its location is suboptimal at best.
4. The kit would have been an absolute killer if it was possible to take it off the gooseneck and put on a fixed mount. Quite clearly that was an idea which its designers looked at (the kit is removable). However the fixed mount does not seem to be available from any of the usual sources in the UK

Worth the money Pt.1
I've been using it on my Pug 206 with a HTC Touch Diamond.
A few tips that i've gathered before you decide on purchasing one of these.
If your 12V socket is not 'constantly on' like mine then I STRONGLY suggest you use the power on/off button before you turn the car on off.
Failure to do this will cause the screen to display weird figures and flicker.
This can be sorted by a power cycle on the power button but I wouldnt want to do this often.
Dont use the volume control if you can help it, keep it on 20 or lower then use your car stereo volume. Increasing the volume degrades music quality.
Like the other reviewer, the unit wont auto connect (AD2P) to both devices i've tried (HTC Touch diamond or ipod touch) but will auto connect (phone) to the HTC. The music quality is 8/10 but you ve got 2 mediums of wireless for loss so cant complain. Havent tried the line in yet.
The goose neck is around 20cm long and could have been longer, especially as my cigar lighter is set back by the handbrake. this is certainly 'worth the money'.
Considering the price, this easily outmatches those sun visor clip on efforts. For the very small music quality loss, the facitity to get your calls and music out of your stereo makes up for it.
If you want better music quality, forget the auto tune, find a freq. on your radio thats far away from anything else and manual tune to that. Using the auto tune means the unit has to 'overpower' whats on that freq, and makes the music 'medium wave radio' quality.
It seems to handle bluetooth streaming audio better from my ipod touch than my HTC, but for some reason, would not support track skip forward/reverse from the device on the ipod touch but would on the HTC. It does support pause and play though.
If you want something to transfer your work mobile calls to speakers that could be transferred between vehicles, get this.
£30 is cheaper than £60 and 3 points of caught!

Problem with HTC HD2
I can't get this to work with the HTC HD2. As a bluetooth FM transmitter, the HD2 does not automatically connect to it, means you have to connect it manually every time, and that's fiddly. As a bluetooth car kit, it just about works, the volume is very low and has to be re-set every time. All this is probably the HTC HD's fault. Service from mobile fun has been excellent.
