![Nulaxy KM18 [Upgraded Version] Bluetooth FM Transmitter for Car, 1.8](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41sfdkP8mgL.jpg)
My car is 1999 Nissan Altima, without any fancy modern Bluetooth device or Aux input. I felt boring when I drove my car back and forth between my home and working placement (it cost 1 hr. for round-trip). With this new Nulaxy magic device, I am able to connect my cell phone with my car stereo system, now I can enjoy the most up-to-date technology at the price of less than 30 bucks. I am not struggling to think about updating my whole car for that informatic system.
After trying a lot of things to get rid of the static, I found that if you find the lowest available station (87.7 and below) you will have the best luck. Phone calls sound good to me, but the people I am talking to have some trouble hearing me...might just be the position/proximity of the device to me in my car though because of where my cigarette lighter is. Overall, for my purposes, which is to listen to YouTube and music on my drive home it works perfectly.
This is the best adapter I have ever found!! It connects via Bluetooth every time I get in my car. I also have a satalite radio receiver that plugs right into the auxiliary. Once you find an FM station that has no signal, and set it to that, it makes the sound clear and perfect. People said there was no on and off switch, but you push in the volume knob and it turns off and on. Also when my phone has naviagtion on, the sound comes through my car speakers which is nice too, a bonus I hadn’t thought of.
The only con I have is that when I made a phone call my husband said it sounded like I was very far away. But that’s not a big deal to me
Does what it says. See,s to be good build quality, though I do with the wire/ar, were a bit more flexible (doesn’t stay where you put it). The display is clean and crisp, sounds quality is great, Bluetooth connected with the first try and hasn’t dropped the connection once in about a month of use. Hands free microphone is decent, not great (though not why I bought it). I don’t expect excellent voice transmission from an all-in one without a separately mounted mic. The noise cancellation is good. There’s always some static with FM transmitters, but this one is better than most. I’d buy it again!
I have an older 2006 Dodge Stratus that does not have bluetooth or an aux input. This device sets up very easily, pairing was quick! I opened my Pandora app and was amazed at the sound quality. My Dodge does have a good factory stereo, so that helps. The unit seems to be made very well and has a quality feel to it. In my opinion, for the price, you cannot go wrong. It made me very happy! :-)

Description
Bring Bluetooth connectivity to almost any car with Nulaxy Bluetooth FM transmitter. Broadcast audio on an FM bandwidth to enjoy your music or make handsfree calls while you drive.
User Tips:
1. Please check if both the car radio and transmitter are on the SAME station. If not, please set both of them on the same station.
2. If there are statics when you listen to music, the key really to find a vacancy frequency which is an isolated fully static (sounds awful but keep going) station before you match the transmitter to the full static radio station. For example, one works best on low frequencies (Colorado) 88.9 or so. The high frequencies (102.5+) do not work as well.
3.If there is no sound when you make a phone call, you can try to turn up the voice call volume on your cell phone and volume of the transmitter.
4. Find a vacant or non-interfered frequency and sync Nulaxy device to that frequency for minimized static noise.
5. To achieve best audio quality, please set the volume on your phone to maximum and then adjust the volume for your car stereo; you are not suggested to adjust volume of your car speaker to maximum (this will bring lot noise).
This was the best $23 I have ever spent. Just plugged it in the power port, linked my Bluetooth to it, and played songs right from Amazon music. Took less then 30 seconds from plug in to playing music. I have an older Honda Accord that has a 6 disc changer without an auxiliary plug, and didn’t want to get a new radio, but wanted to play music I didn’t have cds for. I’m telling you this is the greatest invention ever.
I owned the previous version of this product and saw that this got upgraded. The new color screen is very informative and the constant voltage meter is a nice addition to make sure the overall health of my vehicle is good. The signal is very strong and the addition of the QC 3.0 port is great for the newer phones. Unit performed flawlessly on a 7 hour road trip from SF to SD and back again. Recommended for those that do not have the luxury of a newer vehicle.
There are over 280 million registered cars in the U.S. alone. Many of these cars don't support Bluetooth transmission, so drivers are stuck with the limited, cornflake, hyper-commercialized content offered through traditional radio.
The answer?
Nulaxy bluetooth transmitters! These affordable products give drivers the freedom to listen to any audio they can get on their smartphones, transforming what were once lost hours languishing in traffic jams into relaxing, productive, meaningful moments.
Satisfied with a past Nulaxy purchase, I upgraded to the KM 18 and have been very happy. The sound quality is improved and the color screen, equalizer, and battery monitor are great features. I appreciate the easy on/off button, so I can be sure the transmitter doesn't drain my battery when I'm not driving.
For anyone who spends a great deal of time in the car--commuters, travelers, freelance drivers--a bluetooth transmitter can be a life changer.
Thanks, Nulaxy!
I have used fm transmitters before in the past and have been disappointed. Not with this one clear signal easy to use and the dual charge spots help keep my wife as well as my phone charged.
Over a year ago I have purchased two KM18 transmitters (non-color) that have gotten daily use in our two vehicles. The devices performed flawlessly since day 1.
What I like about this device:
1. Connects/pairs to my phone as soon as I start the car without any manual manipulation. (Unless someone else was paired to the device before me in which case I have to go into my Bluetooth settings and pair manually but from then on it will always pair when the car starts.)
2. Sound quality is very good, impressively good in my opinion.
3. When you turn the car to on (prior to starting it) the device will show you the battery voltage. After starting it will show the voltage that the alternator is giving to your battery. There was a time when my alternator was failing and I was relying on this device to let me know how much battery I still had before I needed to recharge it manually (prior to fixing the alternator).
4. It lets you take calls from the device although the voice quality is not the best going from the device to the other person. I am assuming the KM18 Color has improved on this but I have not taken calls yet through it so far.
5. The color screen is nice and unless you are bothered by color equalizer I think it's a nice addition, although it is not synced to your actual music.
6. It can be used with a cable jack if you don't have Bluetooth or you can't find a good station to pair to.
7. Unlike the older version, the updated one can be turned off and on. (When using the older version in my 2011 Malibu I had to either unplug the device from the car or purchase an adapter that could turn off the power coming from the vehicle because in some cars the battery keeps putting power to plugged devices even after turning the car off.) With this new update, the device can now be turned off.
What could be improved/currently lacking:
1. Displaying the song/artist on the screen
2. Syncing the display eq to the music played
3. One shortcoming is that in busy cities with tons of radio stations it is hard to find a good station to pair to that doesn't have many distortions. Also, when traveling long distance you will run into actual radio stations that are on that wavelength and you will have to switch stations.
I would definitely recommend this. It is not a perfect device but considering that it brings your car's obsolete audio system to life in 2019 for less than $30 I think it's hard to beat it for the price and quality this thing has to offer.
