CHGEEK Bluetooth FM Transmitter Review

So if you have a some what older car like myself, you may want to listen to music in a modern way. This is with a FM Transmitter, in this case it is a CH05,

How to play MP3's in an old car is pretty easy and there are a few methods you use to achieve this, one of the quickest methods is with an FM Transmitter which plugs into the car lighter socket and transmits a radio signal to the car radio once the correct frequency is set.

The one from CH Geeks is a multi functional device which has Bluetooth to send music from you're phone to the transmitter and also from USB.

You can play MP3's from USB to the FM Transmitter to the radio once tuned in, I find this way the easiest. You can also play from any mobile phone with Bluetooth enabled which calls can be taken hands free also.

Other features are charging of USB devices in the car along with car battery level indicator.

The device itself is robust and looks slick in black, with a smart clear LED display and a turny knob to navigate different functions.

One downside I found was that the device wasn't as secure as it should have been in the car lighter port, this could be my car though (Civic 2007). The device seemed too long and stuck out, this gave way to moment, so if the thing was knocked it would turn off.

The quality of the audio was pretty decent although there was some interference at times. However, overall for the cost it was worth it as it does what it says on the tin.

The cost? Pretty cheap FM transmitter for around £13.00 so have a try!
