Need BT FM transmitter, which one?

[Hemps]

So we would like to be able to play music from iPhone to Nissan NP300 radio, no aux or BT.
So was looking at these FM transmitter devices BUT there are so many.

Any advice, currently looking at this one - https://www.takealot.com/t11-blueto...-kit-with-hands-free-usb-charger/PLID52292469

Wow its been ages since I've used these, I see they have improved the looks lol.
They all basically work the same, even the ones you can buy at the cheap cellphone stores that you may find. I think I got mine from one of those stores. They work as expected and good enough for playing music.
Just that for calls, I think it has a built in mic and does not use the mic on the phone. Well mine had a mic and my socket was way down so the caller had a difficult time hearing me. But it was used mainly for music and served the purpose well.
I would say pop in to one of the cell stores and get it from there. These prices are inflated.

This type works much better since you can mount the device close to your steering wheel to have the controls nearby and the mic.

Sucks that's cars made these days do not include BT or even an aux port unless you spend thousands more on the upper models.

It's basically already standard, just wait a bit.

I wonder if these devices switch off when car is turned off and don't drain the battery?

They connect to a 12v or cigarette lighter socket which is normally only active when the ignition is on.
The device does not switch itself off when the car is turned off but the car should switch the device off

ahh cool

I'm thinking about getting device from Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/AGPtek-Wirel...UTF8&qid=1538570836&sr=8-3&keywords=agptek+fm

How would I choose what courier service is used and not the post office?

I'm currently using the one from Xiaomi, the Roidmi 3s. Works like a dream. Comes with fast charging port, too. Bit expensive locally, this is the cheapest I can find it locally : Zastra.
I bought it from Gearbest, think it worked out just over R200
