DashTune FM Transmitter

If your car has an FM radio and a 12V socket, yes — that is the whole requirement. It does not matter whether it is a 1998 or a 2015, and there is nothing to install. Works with any iPhone or Android.

This is the question we get most, usually from people who tried an FM transmitter 15 or 20 years ago. Those pushed a weak analog signal through a drifting tuner on AAA batteries. DashTune streams digitally from your phone and locks onto one empty frequency with PLL tuning — the same frequency-locking method real radio stations use — powered by your car. Set it once and it stays put.

Yes. You only need one empty frequency, and every dial has them — the low end around 87.5 to 90 and the high end around 106 to 108 are usually wide open. The display shows the exact number so you can match your radio in seconds. If your dial is truly packed, pick the frequency with pure silence rather than one with a faint faraway station.

Yes. The noise-reduction mic is built for a moving car. Callers hear you through it while their voice plays through your speakers, louder and clearer than a phone sitting in a cupholder. Your music mutes when a call comes in and picks back up when you hang up.

Completely. The FCC’s Part 15 rule allows low-power FM transmitters — the same rule drive-in theatres use to send sound to your car radio. The signal reaches about as far as your driveway, and your radio is 18 inches away.

No. After the first pairing it reconnects to your phone automatically when you start the car. Turn the key, music’s back.

In most cars the socket powers off with the ignition, so no. If your socket stays live when parked, as it does on some older models, unplug it when you leave. That is the only maintenance this thing will ever ask of you.

Two USB ports plus USB-C, with fast charging on the orange port. It keeps your phone topped up while it streams, so you stop arriving on 4% because the map was running.
