![]() Quickly check your cars current battery voltage from the LED screen so you never get stranded again. The compact digital LED screen displays FM frequencies between 87.5 to 108MHz ensuring you can easily find the perfect channel for streaming. You can also stream from a device compatible with either Bluetooth, A2DP, AVCRP or HFP frequencies. Stream music straight from your mobile devices directly to your car’s sound system with crystal clear sound using Bluetooth 5.0 from anywhere inside the vehicle. ![]() But his seemed to work well to provide a good contrast.The Scosche SBTFM4-XCES0 FM Transmitter is perfect for streaming your favorite music, taking hands-free calls, charging mobile devices or checking your car’s battery voltage. First button is a little sloppy, as I was experimenting. Rather than trying to color in the depressions, I covered over the flat part of the button, leaving a good contrast. Especially on bright sunny days, as in most autos, this unit will sit lower down, in the shadows. Finally took the time to get a sharpie to color in the buttons, as they disappear in the car. This unit goes a long way to making it much easier to leave out the fancy radio/navigation system and just use your phone instead. And using your "free and always up to date" map and GPS makes a lot more sense than paying the dealer several hundreds (to several thousands) of dollars for their bug ridden and inaccurate navigation systems that you have to pay over and over to get updated. It is simply a matter of programming and wiring. Also, I don't understand why the auto manufacturers don't get out of the entertainment systems business (I really do, its $$$) and just add the capability to use your phone directly from their in-car displays. This unit would be great for say a classic car that has FM (or added in a hidden area), because you can add the functions from your phone without hurting the classic look of the car. The remote has some functions that are not available on the unit (understandable), just recognize the difference. This is a nuisance thing but don't lose the remote. The remote controls works great, but the symbols on buttons on the remote to NOT match the symbols used on the buttons around the unit (again, around the answer button), leaving you to guess which function on the remote does the same thing as on the unit. Suggest you paint them white, or glow in the dark so they are easier to see in low light and you can figure out which one you are pressing. The buttons on the unit are black-on-black (around the answer button) and are NOT backlit. When listening to the radio, switching from your favorite radio station to the phone is easy, just program one of your buttons to the Handsfree station, then if you get a call, just switch to the handsfree station and answer the call. Notifications come through (email, navigation, etc.) also come through quite clearly also. The sound is clear through the car speakers, and if your phone is not too far away, others have told me I come though clear enough to understand. The unit itself works very easily once connected. I've used in several different locations, having to switch stations several times to find a clear channel. But you can just pull it out of the power socket and plug it back in. ![]() Also, be aware that if you switch stations, you have to power cycle the unit to reconnect to your phone. And once this is working, you don't have to touch it again unless you need a different FM station to tune to. It's not that I don't read directions, it just that with so many gadgets, it's hard to keep up with their operation. And while the controls are not exactly intuitive, they are easy enough to figure out. This was recommended to me by a friend, it works great and does all it says. I have an older model SUV that is still working great but didn't have hands free, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money upgrading the entertainment system. Add hands free and Bluetooth where there is none.
