Works for my S5
on August 28, 2014
Posted by: TechyWiz
from Florida
I am not sure why the other reviewer says it doesn't work for their S5 because it worked just fine for me, maybe they didn't read the instructions on how to pair. I learned during pairing to flip the switch but make sure I didn't touch any buttons until the pairing process is done. It took me about 30 seconds to pair the first time and reconnects in 2 seconds or so every time after that. I did not try it on an iPhone because I have an S5, but it says that it should work just fine. I think they just didn't read how to pair or maybe didn't charge it first like suggested.
I saw this reviewed on Cnet and have been looking for it to finally come out. I like that it controls Pandora and Milk because I don't always like the songs they select for me and this makes it easy to switch songs without having to unlock my phone. I also turn the volume up on my radio to loud and medium on my phone, then I use the volume on this remote to adjust.
The one feature I did not expect was the camera remote function. I followed the instructions and went into my picture app and changed the remote control to volume up and now my remote will take a picture when I press volume up. I am not sure that I personally will use this much but I guess it is cool for those people who like to take selfies.
I do not know how long the battery will last since I have only had this for a few days but the company says it will last up to 60 days which is great if it even comes close to that.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase so far. I was excited when I saw the story on it and was hoping it would be as good as the Cnet reviewer said it was. I am thinking of getting another one for my house because it includes a second mount that will work on my kitchen counter, I like listening to music while I cook.
What's great about it: Easy to use, re-connects very fast, nice mounting system
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good sound and happy wife
on July 14, 2014
Posted by: TechyWiz

My wife saw all of my gadgets in my car and wanted something so that she could play her Pandora on her car radio. I was going to get her the Bluetooth piece from isimple but she didn't have an aux hole in her car. I asked the salesperson at BestBuy and they suggested this product because it works with any radio and has the correct connector for the iPhone 5S. Cool part was that installation was included and it only took 45 minutes for the whole process. Once installed, the only thing visible was the Apple cable to connect the phone to. What I was most impressed with was the sound. We played music from her phone and from Pandora and both sound really good. She also has told me that the charging seems to be faster on this versus the plug she was using before this was put in.
What's great about it: Clear music and fast charging
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better than expected

I bought this for 20 bucks expecting that it would be a good aux cable but not much else, but was very surprised when the handsfree calls sounded good. What I didn't realize when I bought this but ended up being my favorite feature is the button to control my music. Before I had to enter a code on my phone to unlock it before I could hit a button on the screen to skip a song, but now all I have to do is tap the button twice and it does it for me. One of the things they do not tell you about this product is that it works on Pandora as well, I tried it out one day just to see and it worked so been using it since.
My only issue is that they don't have one that works with my wife's car since she doesn't have aux input., one of those slightly older cars that still has a tape player. Whish I could buy another for her.
What's great about it: Skipping songs without having to unlock my phone
What's not so great: Doesn't work in my wife's car since she doesn't have an aux input

Perfect Value

For only $60, this thing packs a ton of features. I thought it would be easy to pair the first time, but I had to go read the directions to do it. It actually was very easy but there is an important step to hold the button long enough. I tried it first without the optional mic button and people said my voice sounded good, but I paid the install bay $20 to hide the wires and then people said it sounded like I was talking on my phone not a handsfree kit. The music play was a shock how good it sounded. The sound is crystal clear and it hits all of the frequencies, way better than any FM mod piece. I do not experience the beep the other guy talked about but I think that is his phone not this piece.
What's great about it: Bluetooth calling and music for only $60
What's not so great: Took 2 minutes to setup, had to read directions and hold the button long enough
I would recommend this to a friend!

Difference between isimple tranzit and Gateway

Is there a big difference in sound quality between isimple tranzit and isimple gateway also is the installation about the same between the two.
The GateWay will have better sound and display on the screen, the Tranzit will be easier to use. If you want hands-free calling you should try the Tranzit Blue HF for the best of both worlds. I think BestBuy includes installation in their price on all of them.

I have a 2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid. What IPOD adapter should I buy that works.

Depends on which phone you have. We just found this iSimple adapter and they have one that works with the older phones and newer phones.

which fm transmitter is the best?

i have a 2006 ford explorer and i wanna play my ipod in the car but it doesnt have the aux input or to play a cassette. ive tried so many fm transmitters but none of them work really well. which fm transmitter works the best?
Most important is that the FM mod is an installed piece, they are the only ones that will work. Try the iSimple brand. They have deifferent versions that connect with wires and also others that do Bluetooth. Not cheap, but they work really well and they include the install cost.

iPod connection

Do you have a kit for a 2003 bmw 745li, that can play music from iPod/iPhone that sounds good, and also can it be installed by geek squad?
Look at the ISFM2351 by iSimple. I was looking at this piece for my wife's car. It is Bluetooth and will do calls and music. Not cheap, but the guy at the store said they work really well and works with any car. They told me the price includes install.
