Pros and cons

According to our FM transmitter expert

With the transmitter you can transform a car radio into a hands-free car kit.
The quality of the FM signal is lower than with a built-in car kit.

Description

The Caliber PMT557BT turns your car radio into a hands-free car kit. This transmitter connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth and wirelessly sends signals to your radio via a free FM transmitter. After installation you call hands-free via the built-in microphone and you hear your conversation partner over the speakers of your car radio. The transmitter is also a godsend if you want to listen to your own songs, but the radio has few connections. The design has inputs for aux and usb cables, usb sticks and SD cards. If you connect a smartphone or iPad via the second USB port, they are automatically charged.

Review is 8,4 out of 10.

Very good device that does what you expect.

Two USB connections
Very easy to use
Good sound quality
ugly design

Very easy to use and gives good sound quality. The device automatically connects to the bluetooth of your phone. In the beginning it is a bit of a search for a good frequency.

Review is 9,2 out of 10.

Very easy and reliable to use.

Installation is plug and play
Still looking good
It is and remains FM and because of this there is occasionally noise through the music

Installation was easy, just plug the device into the power supply and you're done. In the beginning it was a bit of a search for a fercuene that was not used, but that was all I now enjoy Bluetooth in my car every day.

This device is a good interim solution!

ease of installation
many possibilities
does what it says
volume

I have been using the Caliber for about 1 week. Delivery was fantastic by Coolblue. Ordered in the evening around 8 p.m., the next day the postman had the package. The 'zipper' of the box was surprising. Good find!

Like most men do, the Caliber went straight from the box into the car for testing. The manual is only retrieved if it does not work after a few attempts. But, this was not necessary. The installation is smooth and self explanatory. The connection with my smartphone went very smoothly via bluetooth. The product does exactly what it promises. However, it is not easy to find a free FM station. Almost all channels are busy. To avoid having to try every frequency, I looked up the free channels in my area on the internet. Now, you may have to change the frequency during a long car ride in order not to have too many disturbances. I also noticed that the bluetooth connection is made automatically every time I get into the car. The music app will also start playing automatically. This is easy, but... not always desirable. If you just want to listen to the radio (and therefore set a different frequency), your music app will play in the background without you listening to it. This may affect the battery of your playback device.

Conclusion: super device that does what it promises. However, it is an interim solution for those who do not have many options (usb, bluetooth,..) on the car radio.
