but thanks Rome I might check into syncing my phone with the product you posted...thanks
I was against FM Modulators for awhile because all of the ones you buy from Target / Walmart etc... always picked up static and sounded muffled. When the guy from Car Toys said it would be $400 to install an Ipod connection.... I got on Google, lol. The one I posted came up and I ALWAYS read the reviews on Amazon before I buy anything. I read the bad ones. If they only say stuff like "it got here late..." I don't worry about the negative review. Everybody was saying to buy it and now I'm saying the same thing. Some people (like me) don't like to have anything sticking out of their dash or wires around. So I have mine in the spare cigarette lighter in the back (out of sight).
There is NO STATIC and it's as crisp as a CD. It's super clear when you play music you downloaded and really clear with apps that stream in high quality. Some apps stream at low quality to prevent buffering. Pandora doesn't sound as clear as other apps but you don't notice a big difference. I would recommend this to ANYBODY looking to have a bluetooth capability in their car without sacrificing sound quality. Don't ask me how they did it over FM but they did. You do have to have your phone volume all the way up though to get the best results. The gadget also finds the clearest available station. You just hold down the button on the top and it finds the clearest one.
Hassle free, jump in your whip and whatever you were playing on your phone starts playing in your car. If somebody calls you, the music shuts off and you hear your phone ring through your car stereo. You can answer it and talk and you hear the people on the other end through your car speakers or just let it go to voicemail and your music picks up where it left off. If you have automatic call answering turn on, you can just talk to whomever called.
The phone calls aren't super clear though for some reason but the quality isn't terrible and you can have a convo and talk to everyone in the car (could be a bad thing if you don't have something nice to say to the other person).
Yeah, it's ugly but it works! (I don't like anything "extra" in my car except mirror ornaments - I still have the factory deck in it to deter thieves)
One more good thing about it is... you can bump SoundCloud songs through it with the SoundCloud app on your phone. I listen to all the ish I upload and give that super scrutinized review on the way to work... "change that hi hat... turn the bass down... hmmm, don't like that sound anymore - change it when I get home..."
If you ever get corner and somebody say let me hear some of your beats... take your phone and stream 'em from Soundcloud... to your bluetooth car stereo... (don't have cheap factory speakers though... you can replace all of your door speakes with good ones for like $150 or something... you sit in your car alot... enjoy the ride... don't have trash in your whip either - messes with you psychologically - you're all clean and your whip is nasty... FAIL)
oh yeah, it charges your phone if you use the cable that comes with it... but I charge my phone in the office. It's on a charger all day so I don't use the cable that came with that bluetooth transmitter.
The reviews on Amazon are at the very bottom of every page.

... and if you're scared to order stuff online. Go and get another bank account for online purchases only.
Transfer ONLY the amount you're going to spend online to that account for each purchase you make. If somebody gets the card info, there's no money in the account anyway... and they won't have access to the account you use to pay your rent / mortgage.
^^^^ learned that from working in a bank. People get some online fraud going on (which is rare now, if you use a Visa - whomever you got the Visa from has to credit your account with the money you say was used in error until the investigation is over - I don't think Mastercard has that in place...) and their rent money is wiped out because they used the same card online that they pay their rent with.
Keep your rent paying card at home anyway, get another card for outings. Transfer money onto it... you won't overspend . Get overdraft protection on it though so you won't be embarrassed at the dinner table because your card got declined.
Bigg Rome is for the kids.

Get somebody on Craigslist to put 'em in for cheap.

I read some where for every 1,000,000 views or something or whatever it's like $5,000 or something or whatever. Somebody can explain it better that knows about it. One guy made a million dollars from youtube. He has over a billion views. Makes me want to make 1,000 music videos where I fall down the steps 1,000 times. lol!
