Call me old fashioned but I have not used a bluetooth kit for my car and not sure how it will work ,basically my needs are

i)hands free calling and use the car speakers

ii)be able to play music from my phone ,especially FM stations from around the world (via radio app)

iii) my car is a 2004 reg Honda Accord,Im not sure if the audio on it is compatible with bluetooth or not? or am i being daft as someone told me to plug it to the cig lighter and it works

iv) this is what i came across on https://www.amazon.co.uk/Transmitter-VicTsing-Blue...

anyone used it on PH?

That ^ gets good reviews but it dependent on finding a free FM frequency.


This would be a better option (at a higher price) as it connects via the CD changer input.

If you have an Aux-In socket, this is highly regarded

Does the car have an AUX (3.5mm) input? In my fiesta I replaced the head unit - cost around £75 all in and now I have a microphone fixed near the rear view mirror, full bluetooth streaming and phone calls connectivity etc. The only issue is it looks a slight bit halfords but not too much of an issue

pardon me for my ignorance but i gather you agree that though cheap the unit i saw on amazon will allow me to stream internet radio stations?
