Is the 3.5 mm jack a stereo jack?

Greetings John, and thank you for your question. The replacement fuse is a 2 amp standard AGC type fuse.

Is there a manual to explain the functions?

Yes.

[ Ed Oct 16, 2022 ]

Can you listen to music from YouTube with this from your phone to a older factory car radio ?

Yes. The manual is available to view on the webpage for the product under the "What's in the box" section of the product overview. This like should also work to open that manual: https://pdf.crutchfieldonline.com/ImageBank/v20161031095600/Manuals/142/142BTFM.PDF

Is it possible to play Pandora from my cell phone through FM on my 2005 Dodge Magnum factory radio?

Yes, this will allow audio from your device to be played via an older FM radio.

Is it possible to play Pandora from my cell phone through FM on my 2005 Dodge Magnum factory radio?

Yes, you only need to establish a connection between your phone and the Schosche device either through blootooth or a double male headphone cord. From there take your FM dial on your Dodge radio and tune to the frequency being displayed on the Schosche device and Voila!! Music through the radio. There is a big button that will answer calls through the radio which is another good feature. If your an audio purist, I wouldn't set my expectations to high for this device. You won't obtain CD quality or high bit rate audio through this device, however it does what it claims to do. Hope this helps.

[ BRIAN Sep 24, 2021 ]

Yes I play pandora all the time through the FM transmitter

[ ALBERT Sep 24, 2021 ]

Don't have pandora but have played amazon music, Iheart radio and satellite radio. I would expect pandora to work. Use the built in usb to keep phone charged. I am happy with the unit. Have used it in multiple vehicles.

I'm not intending to use this in a car but a small gathering. Any comments on the broadcast distance? 10ft? 20ft? 100ft?

Do you have an aux input?

[ MATTHEW Sep 29, 2021 ]

Yes. That will work just fine

What is the difference between this and Anker Roav?

[ Carol Apr 17, 2021 ]

Am I able to connect a thumb drive with music files and listen to songs?

I never try a Anker Roav. But this one works great never had a problem with it. Hopefully this will make a good decision.

How do I change the station the device is paired to in my car?

No the USB port is for charging your phone you can listen to music from your phone through the blue tooth or the auxiliary port

Can I pair two devices? Like phone and ipod?

Hi Thomas! You will press the CH button, then use the Forward or Back buttons to tune to the frequency of your FM radio.

[ JESSICA Oct 29, 2020 ] Staff

I never tried

[ DENNIS Apr 07, 2020 ]

Yes, you can pair multiple devices.

[ MIKE Apr 06, 2020 ]

Yes, but not at the same time.

[ William Apr 06, 2020 ]

You'll only be able to connect one device at a time. I used this in an older car and worked well playing music from iPhone through car stereo.

[ KEITH Apr 06, 2020 ]

my I-phone is hands free but without the ability to stream music. Does this interfere with this existing connection when a call comes in?

[ daniel Dec 09, 2019 ]

Do this item scan the FM Band to find a clear channel for transmitting?

It actually pauses the music playing when you connect. And then picks up the song where it was paused when you hang up. Works quite well and sound quality is very good on calls. Also give yuh he option to answe through the Hands Free unit, as a regular Speaker Phone Call, or 2 pick up the phone.

No you have to find your own station. It takes a little while of trial and error

[ russell Jul 04, 2019 ]

Not sure if it has an auto find feature as i just manually look for a clear or almost clear station

[ GARY Jul 03, 2019 ]

No. You have to find the station manually. However, as I recall, there are some web sites that show open frequencies based on your location.

[ ANTHONY BRENT Jul 02, 2019 ]

No, you select the frequency for it.

[ HARRY Jul 02, 2019 ]

No it doesn't. You have to manually find and station that is clear, then set your transmitter to that station.

[ MIKE Jul 02, 2019 ]

No it does not. You have to find an open frequency on your radio.

[ Terrence Jul 02, 2019 ]

I didn't try to see , it is very clear though

[ DENNIS Jul 02, 2019 ]

Can you play the radio when the phone is coupled to the radio?

[ Darrell Jun 19, 2019 ]

Where can I buy the fuse for this? I lost the one it came with and can't seem to find anywhere that carries it.

Yes you can. Just change the channel. You see the device is acting like a commercial radio station...transmitting on a single discrete channel. Merely select a different channel to listen to...and

[ Jack Jun 22, 2019 ]

not sure, bought this to play music from phone. Phone conversations are very garbled so would not recommend for that use as a hands free phone

[ maxine Jun 22, 2019 ]

Yes, but the phone call will interrupt the radio,

[ James Jun 20, 2019 ]

[ Jalissa Jan 16, 2018 ]

Why does the transmitter cause my music to start skipping as if I'm listening to a scratched CD ?

it's a standard 2amp AGC fuse. We do not offer them but they are available elsewhere. If you are unable to locate any, you can try contacting Scosche directly: 800-363-4490

[ Ryan Jan 20, 2018 ] Staff

[ Jessica Sep 06, 2017 ]

Does the remote come with battery?

That is something I've never had happen while using mine.

[ james Sep 06, 2017 ]

It's NOT the music that is skipping but the WI-FI connection going in and out. The band being used is crowded, so you might try changing the channel being used to transmit from your device to the radio - until you have found one that is less "skippy."

[ Matthew Sep 06, 2017 ]

[ James Aug 19, 2017 ]

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR DEVICE STOPS WORKING? WHEN I PLUG IT IN IT WONT COME ON ANYMORE

Yes

[ Richard Aug 19, 2017 ]

[ tabby Aug 05, 2017 ]

Is there plenty of volume? I have a different BT transmitter and I like it but there is a huge drop in available volume.

How do I pair this device with my phone?

Gets up there in volume I recommend turning phone to half, then control volume on stereo. A downfall is in other areas you will get other Fm frequencies this will effect sound you can change station on both stereo and transmitter may help or just wait to pass. Other than that more bass than i thought it would have.

[ TREVOR Aug 10, 2017 ]

There is a drop in volume in my 03 Pilot when I use this BT device connected to my iPhone. As a result I typically have to have the car volume turned up louder than normal (along with the phone volume maxed) to get to my normal listening level. Still there is more volume level on the car stereo available since I don't have it maxed out, but rather listen at a comfortable level.

[ Jeremy May 21, 2017 ]

I bought this same bt transmitter and it worked just fine with my factory stereo. There is a separate volume control on the device. Between the volume controls on the phone, the transmitter and the stereo I haven't had any issues. I don't understand why the previous answer said it does not work. Hope this is helpful with your decision to buy or not.

Why is my radio staticky when I plug this in to use it? What can I do to correct this problem?

It's the same sequence as pairing with Bluetooth headphones. Plug in to cigarette lighter then look under Bluetooth for discovered devices.

[ Mack Apr 22, 2017 ]

[ Momnestor Mar 15, 2017 ]

my plug in power stays on all the time, will this kill my battery if I leave the player plugged in all the time with the screen light on?

I had same problem. I sent mine back

[ WILLIAM Mar 17, 2017 ]

you need to choose a different station. There must be a strong signal for a local radio station to that uses that frequency.

[ Bradley Mar 17, 2017 ]

Try a different station on the unit, then switch to the corresponding station on your radio. Some are better than others, depending on your location, etc.

I'm going to say yes it will, if you plan on not driving for a month. being that the display is led, and most likely draws very little power, I wouldn't worry about it if you drive at least daily, or occasionally. If you are going to be away for a while and not using your vehicle, then I would unplug it, or at least slide it out of the power plug until it no longer lights up.

[ David Feb 20, 2017 ]

I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law. They liked it but a piece broke off in the lighter socket within a month. We are going to return it.

[ Anne Feb 19, 2017 ]

Hi Sharon, I also leave the unit plug in and have not had any problems with the car battery.

[ Freddy Feb 18, 2017 ]

Yes it will drain you battery. However at a very low rate. If you drive your car daily it won't be an issue. If you leave it for days on end not being used just unplug it.

Does the calls use the microphone on the phone or does the device have one?
