Scosche BTFM BTFREQ Universal Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit with FM Transmitter for Vehicles

Add hands free and Bluetooth where there is none. I have an older model SUV that is still working great but didn't have hands free, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money upgrading the entertainment system. This was recommended to me by a friend, it works great and does all it says. And while the controls are not exactly intuitive, they are easy enough to figure out. It's not that I don't read directions, it just that with so many gadgets, it's hard to keep up with their operation. And once this is working, you don't have to touch it again unless you need a different FM station to tune to. Also, be aware that if you switch stations, you have to power cycle the unit to reconnect to your phone. But you can just pull it out of the power socket and plug it back in. I've used in several different locations, having to switch stations several times to find a clear channel. The unit itself works very easily once connected. The sound is clear through the car speakers, and if your phone is not too far away, others have told me I come though clear enough to understand. Notifications come through (email, navigation, etc.) also come through quite clearly also. When listening to the radio, switching from your favorite radio station to the phone is easy, just program one of your buttons to the Handsfree station, then if you get a call, just switch to the handsfree station and answer the call. I do have two suggestions: 1. The buttons on the unit are black-on-black (around the answer button) and are NOT backlit. Suggest you paint them white, or glow in the dark so they are easier to see in low light and you can figure out which one you are pressing. 2. The remote controls works great, but the symbols on buttons on the remote to NOT match the symbols used on the buttons around the unit (again, around the answer button), leaving you to guess which function on the remote does the same thing as on the unit. This is a nuisance thing but don't lose the remote. The remote has some functions that are not available on the unit (understandable), just recognize the difference. This unit would be great for say a classic car that has FM (or added in a hidden area), because you can add the functions from your phone without hurting the classic look of the car. Also, I don't understand why the auto manufacturers don't get out of the entertainment systems business (I really do, its $$$) and just add the capability to use your phone directly from their in-car displays. It is simply a matter of programming and wiring. And using your "free and always up to date" map and GPS makes a lot more sense than paying the dealer several hundreds (to several thousands) of dollars for their bug ridden and inaccurate navigation systems that you have to pay over and over to get updated. This unit goes a long way to making it much easier to leave out the fancy radio/navigation system and just use your phone instead. Latest edit. Finally took the time to get a sharpie to color in the buttons, as they disappear in the car. Especially on bright sunny days, as in most autos, this unit will sit lower down, in the shadows. See photos. Rather than trying to color in the depressions, I covered over the flat part of the button, leaving a good contrast. First button is a little sloppy, as I was experimenting. But his seemed to work well to provide a good contrast..

Excellent. My husband loved it. It works very well with his car.

I had one of these a few years back and it was garbage. So I was hesitant about buying this item because of my past experience. I have had good experience with Scosche product so I gave it a try. I could not be happier. It picks up the signal from my Iphone and it never fades out. Finding a blank area on my radio dial was not a problem. Although I realize that someone who lives in a different area might have more of a problem finding a blank space on the dial. The only thing that I have a problem with is it's size. It sticks out too far from the dash. My kids keep bumping it. I wish it was more compact. I would recommend it to a friend.

I just ordered this again because I’ve had my first one since around 2016 and it works great. I only had to replace it because the plastic holding it in place finally broke. Easy to use and great sound quality once you find a good station. My brother and husband also have one that they’ve been using for years. Great product.

Works well, works as intended and the buttons are laid out perfect, connected easy, no static from the radio sounds great, only thing I wish I did was buy the one that had more plugs to charge stuff but definitely a good purchase.

Product works as advertised, depending on your car and phone it may connect automatically. I’ve been impressed with the quality. The aux cord leaves something to be desired but that’s an easy replacement. I recommend keeping the product easily accessible for best use!

No static. I’ve been using this for a few years now and haven’t had any problems at all! I bought another one just recently for my girlfriend. Great product, and very easy to use. The skip song buttons are very convenient. Mostly as I’ve said, unlike other transmitters I’ve used, this one makes my music come in clear with next to no interference. I wouldn’t buy any other brand.

Doesn’t seat properly in cigarette charge port. Every bump disconnects and powers down. Had to shave end plastic to make it stay. Recommend for places that have flat roads and no speed bumps.

This product does exactly what I need it to do. This whole time I've been playing music in my car through a portable speaker, its deathly annoying when I forget to charge it or leave it somewhere. Its also super simple to work out, the instructions are clear. Overall, I am very satisfied.

Se sincroniza rápido, excelente calidad de sonido por la compatibilidad para la marca Apple, ya había tenido el universal y este se escucha mejor, lo recomiendo ampliamente!!

Great product, work perfectly no issues.

Broke my car lighter port taking it out. Bluetooth had too much static. Did not try the call feature as my car has Bluetooth calls Music through AUX worked okay

The Scosche BTFreq Handsfree car kit would work really good if it didn’t produce a lot of static while I’m listening to the radio. It get so annoying I have to disconnect while I’m not using it.
