Scosche FMT7-SP1 Tune-Tone FM Stereo Transmitter with Built-in 3.5mm AUX Cable, Small

Pros:• Cheaper than every other FM transmitter I've seen so far (I paid $8, while most of the others on Amazon are about $15), despite being by a major name brand• Audio is true stereo• Supports a decent range of transmission frequencies (a total of 20 frequencies, 10 on the lower range of 88.1 to 90.9 and 10 on the higher range of 106.1 to 107.9)• Great battery life (estimate of at least 14 hours) from well-used 6 year old EBL (cheap Chinese brand) rechargeable NiMH 1100 mAh batteries• Won't drain your car battery, as is evidently the case with many FM transmitters that plug into the 12 volt cigarette lighters (supposedly only if you leave them plugged in and they don't have an automatic shutoff feature, but it was a big enough concern for me that finding a battery powered FM transmitter was a major selling point)• Even with the lower voltage of NiMH rechargeable batteries (1.25 volts) compared to regular traditional alkaline batteries (1.5 volts), I've found interference to be rare and only occurring in specific areas, and while it is much quieter than most radio stations, I'm usually only at 50% of my car stereo receivers max volume. Just remember that when you shut off the FM transmitter, you'll get loud static or interference, and if you accidentally change the station on your car stereo receiver, the other stations will be probably *very* loud in comparison to your FM transmitter (at least if you're using rechargeable batteries, or if your batteries are low on power).Cons:• AAA batteries are used. While they're smaller, they're less common and they hold less charge than AA batteries. Alkaline AA batteries hold about 3 times of charge alkaline AAA batteries do, while NiMH rechargeable AA batteries hold about 2 times of what NiMH AAA batteries do. But, this FM transmitter seems to work well and long (at least 14 hours of playback time) with just two well-used 1100 mAh batteries that are over 6 years old at this point.Use the website Radio-Locator to find unused frequencies in your area to avoid interference.I'm using this connected to a Yoton MP3 player, with the FM transmitter's audio cable holding both up onto the phone holder connected to my car's vent. It's somewhat of a janky solution, but it allows me to control the MP3 player and turn the MP3 player and FM transmitter on while having close access to the car stereo receiver's volume controls.

I would say this has a good distance and is a light small but powerful transmitter but there is one thing I’m not crazy about is the battery life isn’t bad but if you were to run it all night it will most likely die but I think it’s a great product for the price and is worth it

This transmitter works well and allows you to play music from you phone to any radio receiver. Just select the frequency on the device to use for transmission (there are several you can select among) and then turn your radio to that frequency. Obviously, it would be good to check the radio first for an open frequency, one in which you hear static but no competing station. It seems to me that this device has a working range of about 20 feet to maintain a clear signal, but that may vary quite a bit depending on the room and the radio used.

I was previously using Bluetooth and decided to switch to this because of the audio jack potentially producing a more quality sound. I have to stay at the output from this device to the radio is crystal clear. That's my only gripe is I wish the cord was a little longer and it was rechargeable by USB but I have no complaints with this device otherwise.
