So I just search for mpow transmitters? Any price range I note? Any good brands?
That amazon link posted was an mpow Bluetooth receiver. It's a box that receives Bluetooth and outputs it to a headphone jack. If you connect your phone to it it will transmit the audio over Bluetooth and output it to a headphone jack.

You'd usually use an aux cable and plug it up to your car but if you don't have an aux cable you can use a fm transmitter and set that you a certain radio station and pick it up from your car's radio.

Or you can get an fm transmitter and use the lightning to 3.5mm dongle for the same effect.

I bought this one. Works great.



I don't need the fm transmitter because my work car has an aux. I'm my personal car I just bought an new radio with built-in Bluetooth and installed it myself.

it only started working today...ugh.

I'll write up a review tomorrow, after I've used it for a full day.

preview: the notch doesn't bother me, and i'm used to the screen size now
Well now I have decisions to make..the unlocked Blue Note 8 hits Samsung.com tomorrow. I got two Note 8s..Black and Orchid Gray..been using them both regular. I'll see if Samsung trades it but if they don't, I may have to sell one to get the Unlocked Deep Blue version, which is what I wanted since the announcement press conference.

Let us know breh
This mothafukka is :brutuswow:. For one, I like that this feels and is a totally different phone. I came from the 7 plus. Had the 4,6,6s, and 7 plus. The 6,6s, and 7 were all damn near the same. Only thing I felt I got different between them was when I got the plus with the 7. It will take a second to get used to many of the new ways to use the phone, but I like that. Face ID is nice. I really like how the notifications do not appear until you unlock. I’m using this for like an hour now so I’ll update with more.

If I was given the choice I would have taken the blue color. Obviously they held it back so they could pull this crap but honestly I'm not trippin on the color of the back of the phone.

Yeah over all it's a great phone.After several days I decided to keep this iPhone X. It's still not worth the money but I don't want to downgrade back to the 7.

Surprising enough the best feature of the phone is FaceID. It's about as close as one can get to simply being able to just use your phone and have it know it's you and unlock everything for you without you having to do anything else.

This phone is the ideal size to me. A small phone with a larger screen. One of the things I hate about my Note8 is how large the phone is. I was never a fan on the plus size iPhone because it's so large so to increase my screen but be around the normal size is what's selling me on keeping the phone.

Honestly I'm sitting next year out no matter what they do. Having a phone that cost $1150 I can't just dump it next year for some marginal upgrade. It was different when I could sell my old phone and buy next year's model for $200-$300 out of pocket but even if I sell my old phone this one will probably still cost me $750-$800 out of pocket.

Anything less than a 5.7 on a phone is just too feminine. Couldn't do it.

Has nothing to do with being feminine. The din slot under my car radio the Note can't fit into cause it's too long. In the car that's the perfect place to sit my phone out of the way. If I put it in my shirt pocket it sticks out so much it has an easy chance of falling out as well as out of my hoodie pockets.

Phones are supposed to be portable devices and it seems every year they get larger and larger for the sake of getting larger rather than for convenience.

I still like the Note7 size the best. I was disappointed when. The 8 got larger still. I need a smaller pocketable phone to go with my larger phone

The iPhone X is the sweet spot in size. Large enough to be usable but small enough to easily carry around. Not a lot of wasted physical size even if the UI elements still waste some screen space.

That is an fm transmitter with built-in Bluetooth.
