Modern cars are equipped by default with radios that can not only receive radio, but also play music from a USB flash drive or smartphone. And what about the owners of old "swallows" that do not have such equipment on board? Of course, you can always just buy a new radio, but for many this option is not suitable for a number of reasons. The best way in this case is to buy an FM transmitter. A compact device that can play your music, but through a regular radio.

The role of the drive is played by USB or a classic SD card. The main thing is that any free FM channel is tuned in.Communication can be carried out via bluetooth or Wi-Fi, depending on the model chosen. The user gets the opportunity to independently select a playlist, adjust its sequence and set other necessary parameters. It is worth mentioning the additional functionality. Some models have controls for other devices, for example, the button to accept a call from a smartphone is becoming commonplace.

Top 10. Simr Wireless Radio Adapter

Rating (2022): 4.39
  • Average price: 1,400 rubles.
  • Country: China
  • Memory card support: micro SD
  • Connectors: USB×2, AUX
  • Wireless: Bluetooth
  • Working voltage (V): 12
  • Maximum charging current (A): 2.1

One of the most compact FM transmitters for a car in our top. From the side, it resembles a lamp in miniature and has an adjustment angle of 270 degrees. Compatible with brands such as Apple, Samsung, Huawei Xiaomi, Oppo, Sony, etc. Calls can be answered with the touch of a hand. Separately, we emphasize the presence of a voltmeter to monitor the stability of the car battery voltage. The intelligent charging system ensures stable current transfer even during gaming, allowing your children to play while traveling. The optimal voltage range for the device is from 12.8 to 12.2 volts. If your value is outside the recommended range, you need to take care of replacing the battery. Information about the frequency of the signal is displayed on the top of the transmitter in a minimalistic digital form.

Pros and cons
  • Compact size
  • Nice design
  • Durable flexible stem
  • Few opportunities
  • Sensitive to voltage

Top 9. GOgroove FlexSMART X2

Rating (2022): 4.48
  • Average price: 4,100 rubles.
  • Country: Germany
  • Memory card support: no
  • Connectors: USB×2
  • Wireless: Bluetooth
  • Working voltage (V): 12
  • Maximum charging current (A): 2.1

The Germans, as always, are at their best and FlexSMART X2 is an excellent confirmation of this. And despite the fact that this model has only one color, its appearance is fascinating. It is made in a futuristic style with contrasting colors. For example, bright blue buttons are combined with a red display, which is beautiful on the one hand, and eyes strain on the other. You can connect 2 devices to it at the same time, receiving calls from one and transferring files to another smartphone or tablet. A high-quality built-in microphone can outperform many microphones on mobile phones. What really let us down was the narrow operating frequency range from 88.1 to 107.9 MHz. But the Germans issue a three-year warranty and quality support for any breakdowns. A serious drawback is the lack of ports for memory cards and flash drives, which means that you can only work with a smartphone. Otherwise, this is a stable and high-quality car device that will serve you for many years.

Pros and cons
  • Top build quality
  • Attractive design
  • The most convenient control
  • Very high price
  • No slots for memory cards

For those looking for a stylish yet simple device without a lot of bells and whistles, we recommend the FM transmitter from Sumind. A 1.7-inch display with good color reproduction and a palette displays all the necessary information about the state of the radio signal. The smart charging system works on 12-24V inputs. There are 2 USB ports that quickly identify the devices you connect. The volume is adjusted using the rotary button below the screen. When a call is received, the display not only shows the frequency of the channel, but also the number of the calling party and the battery indicator. The screen can be rotated 270 degrees. Compatibility with mobile devices is great, whether it's an Android or iOS smartphone. It is also noteworthy that a modern and smart noise reduction system allows you to use the built-in microphone without distortion. The increased data rate provides a more stable connection. The button trim material is weak and begins to play over time.

The products of this brand cannot be called top-end, but it does not claim this title. This is rather a budget segment, and Ritmix is ​​the best in it. Although the model that is now in front of us does not fall into the category of inexpensive ones, it is all due to the fact that it is completely new. This is the 2022 version. Hence the price tag. In this version, the manufacturer decided to take the path of simplification. Abandoned a large remote display and a bunch of connectors. Everything is concise and simple. But it is compact and intuitive. There are 2 USB connectors.One for charging, and the second for playing music from a portable drive. There is no support for SD cards, since, according to the manufacturer, this is no longer relevant for 2022. Like the AUX line-out, which was abandoned in favor of wireless Bluetooth, it is supposedly more convenient and practical. It is very difficult to say whether this is good or bad, because each car owner has his own preferences, and the bluetooth network may be busy with you, and therefore, you will no longer connect your smartphone to the FM transmitter.

  • Convenient management
