An FM transmitter with hands-free calling and a built-in car charger. Plugged into the 12V accessory socket, it streams music from your phone to the car radio over an FM frequency, lets you take calls through the car speakers using its microphone, and charges your phone at the same time, so one gadget covers three jobs in an older car without Bluetooth.
Type: FM transmitter with hands-free calling
Built-in charger ports
Power: car accessory socket
Style: Style 1
Fitment: suits any car or van with an FM radio and an accessory socket. Check the listing details for the Bluetooth version, the number and type of charging ports and any memory card playback before ordering.
Practical tip: pick a quiet FM frequency with no local station on it, pair the phone and set the volume before you set off, and let the transmitter reconnect automatically each time you start the car. Answer calls with the transmitter's button, not the phone: holding a phone while driving carries 6 penalty points and a £200 fine. See our first car checklist.
