FM transmitter for your car

FM transmitters allow listening to audio files stored on a USB memory stick using your car radio. These are compact devices with a USB slot for plugging a memory stick in, an MP3 player, and/or a memory card slot. Powered from the lighter socket. Usually used in car audio systems that have no data reading device.

Types of FM transmitters

By operating principle:

• MP3-player. Fitted with a control panel and a screen. Have a high memory capacity.
• Bluetooth. Connected wirelessly to a phone. Can be used for hands-free calls.

In addition, these devices vary in the number and type of outputs, card slots, built-in memory capacity, transmission range, and additional functions. They are often supplied together with a remote control.

Operating instructions for FM modulators

• To obtain a high quality sound without any distortions, tune your radio to the same frequency as the FM transmitter. Use an open channel.
• Unplug the modulator before starting the engine to prevent the fuse from blowing out.
• When choosing a device, pay your attention to its models with a steering wheel remote control. They make it possible to use the player without getting your eyes off the road.
• Do not connect a 12 V device to the electrical system of a truck as its voltage is usually 24 V. This difference may cause the modulator to burn out.
• Do not expose the device to high humidity and open fire. Protect it from direct sunlight and high temperatures.
• Unplug the device anytime you need to insert or eject a USB memory stick or a memory card.
• Do not disassemble a FM transmitter. This may result in voiding the warranty.
