Default Bluetooth FM transmitter for XKR 2012

Found a cheap solution for audio .

5 dollars.
Connected this to the 16 volt power point in glovebox .
Set it at 87.5 FM and the car radio at FM 87.5 .
Spotify n all from the android ph working well .
The only gripe is the vol has to be kept slightly high .
Sorry if similar posts are there .
Thanks!

I installed a device in my iPod port in the glovebox (2015 XK) which accomplishes the same thing w/o any static

Those USB FM transmitters sometimes seems to work pretty well and sometimes seem to suffer from interference, static, low volume and/or radio breakthrough from passing cars. I have tried several of them over the last few years and they were all very poor in the area where I live. All had to replaced by wired devices.

Yup, if your XK has the factory iPod interface in the center console this interface (or a Bovee 1000) is about a million times better than an FM transmitter of any kind.
