PYLE PLFMTR9BT FM TRANSMITTER WITH STEERING WHEEL REMOTE (BLUETOOTH COMPATIBLE)

I originally tried one of the cheap-o korean no-brand versions of this thing before upgraded to this model. I have to say the packaging, instructions, support and usability of this one is far better. It is sometimes a little finicky becoming visible when pairing to a new device after being connected to an older one but a snap once it becomes visible or if you are only tethering to a single device. (I have three devices that support a2dp)

I was delighted to learn that the stearing wheel remove is not only a 2 piece item (the oval portion is removable from the part that straps onto the wheel) but it is also reversible (there is a similar snap in slot on both the left and right side)

The remove is reasonably intuitive to use, and I've been told that the speakerphone sounds pretty good on the other side of the phone.

My primary complaints about the device are minimal. The first is that the frequency range supported seems to cut off a few frequencies at the top and bottom end of the FM band. These frequencies are usually the best frequencies to use for FM transmitter type devices as there is less competition from broadcast stations at these ends of the FM spectrum. The end result is I had to find a 'low noise' frequency somewhere in the middle of the band. I imagine this might be troublesome in a busy FM market and might become annoying for someone that travelled as you would have to change frequencies more often to find one not in use by a broadcast station.

My other complaint is more specific to my vehicle. My 12v accessory plugs are under the console slightly so as a result, the flex neck cannot be 'flexed' at a full right angle unless I twist the entire thing slightly to the side. This creates some problems with line-of-sight from the steering and hand remotes and can make the display hard to read if you want it to be straight up and down. So as a result I have to have it plugged in so it is at about 2 o'clock (about 30 degrees from striaght up and down) so it has a clear line to the steering wheel remote and so I can read the display.
