Bluetooth Speaker

[fruitsalad]

I have a standard radio/cd player in my car, and rather than buy a new one, when most of my music is on my phone, I was considering buying a bluetooth speaker that I could use in the car and also indoors, but will I get enough volume from one of these to use in the car?

You need something like this

Judging by the amount of row the kids get from them walking round the streets you shouldnt have a problem.

As I said before, and Hc4361 has said above, an FM transmitter unit is your best solution.

Most Bluetooth speakers which are specifically designed to be used in cars should have sufficient volume. The one in the link below has this question asked by a potential buyer: "Is this loud enough to hear whilst driving a van with windows open?" The reply offered states "Yes you can. I drive a ford transit mini bus and the controlled volume is excellent".

However an in-car Bluetooth speaker will either be mono or have its two speakers so close together that the stereo effect is largely lost. An FM transmitter unit allows you to use the car's existing radio, so that you get proper stereo that fills your car with sound.

Yes I did purchase the fm transmitter but having difficulty pairing it to the radio, I was just considering the bluetooth speaker because it portable and could use indoors, but if the sounds no good in the car probably won't be worth the expense.

Pairing an FM transmitter to a car radio shouldn't be difficult. You simply need to find an unused frequency that both units can work with. Many transmitters and radio have 87.0 MHz as the lowest frequency available. As there are no UK broadcast stations below 87.7 MHz, choosing a frequency such as 87.3 MHz should be fine. (If you need to find another frequency that's not used by broadcasters in your area, see the list here: http://www.frequencyfinder.org.uk/FM_Stations.pdf )

Once you've chosen a frequency, set the transmitter to it and provide it with an input signal. (i.e. connect your phone to it). Then use the 'scan' facility on your radio to find that frequency. When you've found it, use the 'memory' facility to store the frequency as a channel that you can select with just one press of a button.
