Venturi Mini

There are a vast quantity of FM transmitters for streaming music to your car stereo. I've tested vast amounts of them, and all in all, most of them are utterly appalling. Even he devices with 'smart scan' which supposedly scans the whole FM airwaves to find the frequency with the least radio traffic on it rarely produces music that doesn't subsequently evoke anger and less enjoyment of the music. A few years ago, this device fell into my hands and I was lucky enough to acquire a prototype unit to test. The unit has a button on the left which puts it in FM Tune Radio mode, which allows you to select the frequency to use. There is no smart scan, thats for you to decide. Choose a white hiss frequency and marry the two up. The button on the top right allows you to pair the device up with your mobile and there is also the option to download your phone book to the device. So far I've not found a device it won't work with. Once connected the unit will automatically pair with your phone and transmit on the frequency you choose. Tune your radio and you're ready to roll. Press and hold the number button on your car stereo and this is your new handsfree car kit. The unit has a superb mic in it, which picks up your voice when an incoming call comes in, and the callers voice comes out through your car stereo. Press the music button on the top left and you can, hit the green play button to play the last song you were listening to on your smartphone. Scroll the wheel in the middle to skip tracks. hit the call button and you bring up the phonebook. Scroll through the letters with the wheel and the names display on your radio display. Seriously, it's like a fully fitted (expensive) car kit for under £100. I love this device so much I got a second one for my wife. Of course, we've changed our cars a couple of times in the past few years and we've not had to bother finding cars with Handsfree kits, because, well, we've got these and they work brilliantly. If you want, you can also feed a 3.5mm aux in from an ipod or similar device. There's also a USB port that you can use for charing your device.
