Streaming music wirelessly from phone to car stereo

---

My car does not have an aux port for the simple solution, so about a year ago I reluctantly invested in this guy:

I've used countless wireless transmitters in the past and they were all garbage. You'd have to have the phone right up against the radio, and even then it wasn't that clear. This is by far the best product I've used for the purpose. You can connect via bluetooth or even a 3.5mm headphone port(cable included) on the side. My phone doesn't have to be anywhere NEAR the unit for it to work perfectly. It also comes with a microusb cable that plugs directly into a usb port on the unit, to charge while it plays. I highly recommend this product.

I use the motorola roadster.

You can find an OEM version for about ~ $40 if you google search for it.

I use it along with voice command. You touch a button on the speaker phone and my S2 lights up and asks for a command. Ofcourse it also has FM transmitter mode and it has a play/pause button, though it doesn't seem to work with the stock music player, but the play/pause works with Winamp.

Not as nice as the bluetooth built into my wife's 2012 murano radio but on my older 2002 pathfinder this works great.

Thats cool. Does it matter how you set a station? Does it have static like regular "transmitters" ? I used to use/try one with my zune, and it was awful.

My friend plugged his in with an AUX jack (from top of phone into car radio) and it played stereo/cd quality

My car doesn't have an aux jack but I think it can be done for 20-40$? maybe

with the motorola roadster how do you set the fm transmitter?

I'll be honest with you - I've never seen an FM transmitter that wasn't horrible.

I'd invest in a new headunit (with an aux input, or MAYBE bluetooth if you must have wireless) and a wiring harness adapter kit over any FM transmitter, any day of the week.

I'm in the same boat as the OP, my car doesn't even support an aftermarket stereo due to the Bose/HUD integration and I got the FlexSmart and love it as well. Would certainly recommend to anyone.

I'm with Edgarhighman . How's the audio quality? Any static?

I'm thinking I'll DIY aux input or have a store down the street do it

I'm not yet fond of splicing, soldering, or using a heat gun =/

VERY minimal static. Nothing that is even close to hindering the experience.
