    Does this model support playlist or similar feature?

    • A.

      Unfortunately the Soundfly View is not compatible with playlists as these are typically a different file type which are devices currently don’t support. We are continually making updates to our devices and will eventually address this issue in future revisions. Unfortunately we are unable to upgrade the unit by firmware and instead would simply replace it for you.

    I am wondering if it would work at home with a radio or can it only be used in a car?

    • A.

      The Soundfly will work at home without an AC/DC converter by simply connecting a male to male USB cable from one end to a computer and the other to the USB port on the unit.

    Why does the sound cut off after about 2-5 seconds of playing on my Samsung Galaxy S2. I then tried it with my Apple iPad 1, and it worked perfectly, not cutting out at all. Any ideas?

    • A.

      The issue you are experiencing is related to the version of android you are using and can be resolved by downloading and running a free app from the marketplace called A2DP Volume (by jimroal)

    What are the maximum recommended distances between source and transmitter for blue tooth and between transmitter and FM receiver? Is the blue tooth functionality compatible with ipad? All apps or just itunes?

    • A.

      The maximum distance the Bluetooth device can reach the transmitter is 5 yards. The Bluetooth functionality is fully compatible with iPads. It also supports most (if not all) apps including internet radio, not just iTunes.

    perfroms well Review by Rich P

    I've only used the transmitter for a day, but it is exactly what I was looking for. While driving and listening to music I couldn't hear my cell phone ring. This definitely solves that problem.

    I haven't tested the telephone audio while driving with the windows down yet. But sitting still it worked well. The person at the other end said my voice was a little scratchy but he said it was no worse than many calls he's had from people talking on their cell phone directly.

    The mp3 audio is good, there are treble and bass adjustments on the unit to compensate for variations in car stereo systems. There is a volume adjustment for mp3 separate from the cell phone volume adjustment. But the mp3 volume adjustment is on a scale from 1 to 6 so the output is not all that strong, even at it's highest. Cranking the music is a job best left to the car stereo.

    The biggest complaint I have so far is that the lighter plug fit so tight into the socket in my car that when I went to remove the unit it pulled part of the panel the lighter socket was mounted in out of my center console. REALLY tight. But I supposed better that than flopping around and falling out. (Posted on 5/14/12)
    almost perfect Review by A. Jablonski

    I don't normally write reviews, but this is a really good product. I have used 3 different FM transmitters (mainly Griffin brand) and they don't compare. All of the others that I have tried were pretty much unusable because of the static and trouble finding a station that worked. This one must have a more powerful transmitter or something, but I have virtually zero static, so I'm really happy about that. Something that's not too common is that it works through Bluetooth, which is nice, so I can keep my phone in my pocket. It pairs perfectly with my iPhone 4S and works with Siri. Call quality isn't perfect for the person on the other end but it's acceptable. On my end it is very clear though the car's speakers. Over all really good for the money. Also, it arrived quickly direct from the manufacturer. (Posted on 5/14/12)
    Best FM Tx on market, Review by Camper

    fast to set up. Versatile inputs from wire or bluetooth. Display is a bit dim but otherwise unit functions very well. Fidelity through car stereo is superior than any FM transmitter I've tried. Worth the extra $$ (Posted on 5/14/12)
    almost perfect Review by M-A Gemme
    Customer Rating
    This wasn't my first bluetooth FM transmitter.
    I bought 2 prior to this one, the first from FutureShop and the other from BestBuy. I returned both because there was a constant white noise in the background while music was playing and it was annoying. So I was nervous when I bought the sounfly as I was expecting the same thing to happen.

    To my joy, nothing, perfect sound. Obviously there is some quality loss but it sounds flawless nonetheless. The speakerphone option works great, at first I was shouting to make sure my friends heard me but then realised they heard me clearly even if I was speaking normally.

    There is one thing I hate about it though, and that may be just me not knowing how to program it. But whenever I turn the car off, the damn thing stays on. So if I were to forget it, it would drain my battery overnight. So now I have to remember to turn it off everytime I leave the car.

    Also, when I first plugged it in, it blew the fuse. I changed the fuse only to have it blow up again. So I solved it by putting in a higher ratio fuse.

    The thing is really big too... don't expect a small device. (Posted on 5/14/12)
    Fantastic product, surpassed my expectations, Review by S. Graham "smg888"
    Customer Rating
    I was very skeptical, especially after using 2 other FM transmitters that were disappointing. This product is truly amazing. The FM transmitter is so powerful, I set it once and can travel through Portland and Seattle with no interferance and experience excellent sound quality the entire way. I purchased this to provide a an interface for my Iphone to my Mercedes stereo, and it does that and more. It automatically connects to my Iphone 4 when I start the car, streams my Iphone music, displays the song Title and Artist, sounds excellent, and provides a surpriginsly high quality hands free telephone experience. The only room for improvement was that it was not available with Amazon Prime - but the seller did a fine job with a timely delivery. (Posted on 5/14/12)
    Couldn't be happier, Review by reinaldogmz
    Customer Rating
    I was searching for a decent Bluetooth to FM Transmitter, found the Soundfly, and I cannot be happier. Was a breeze to pair it with my phone (HTC Hero S) found a good FM station and voila!

    The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the lack of information on the LCD Display. Other than that I am pleased with how well this thing works. Surprisingly deep bass as well. (Posted on 5/14/12)
    Soundfly View Bluetooth FM Transmitter with 2.0 inch Screen, WMA/MP3 Player for SD Card, USB Car Charger, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, Sam, Review by Robocop
    Customer Rating
    The item arrived way before the suggested day. It works as described by the seller. My only suggestion is that some of the controls which can only be done by use of the remote control (such as rewinding and fast forwarding) could also have been made possible on the transmitter itself. I tried another FM transmitter before this which fell way below my expectations and did not have half of the features on the Soundfly View transmitter. With the Soundfly View transmitter I can rewind, fast forward, pause and book mark my tracks (actually, I would have also preferred the device to automatically start playing where I left off without having to bookmark it) It also has bluetooth which links in to my mobile phone allowing me to make and receive phone calls whilst I'm driving. It also clearly displays the audio track I'm listening to, as well as the name of the artist, not just on the soundfly view monitor, but also on my vehicle's dashboard display. The Soundfly View has numerous other features which I've not even gotten round to using yet.

    All in all I'm very happy with the product. It's probably the best FM transmitter out there. (Posted on 5/14/12)
    Feature packed Review by Ken Guzzetta

    I really like this gadget. Does exactly what I thought it should do. It integrates your iphone, mp3, and FM transmitter. You can take calls over your car speakers. I like that it comes on and links up to my phone automatically, without the need to turn anything on. I also like that it plays the last playlist or music selection you left off with the last time you were listening to music. I especially great feature is when receiving a call, it stops your music so you can take the call, and returns to your music after you are done with your call.

    Overall, it was a good buy for me; I like it.
