Affordable Device Enables Smartphone Connectivity in Older Cars

For owners of older cars lacking modern infotainment systems, there's an affordable solution to connect their smartphones and enjoy features like music, navigation, and hands-free calls. This solution is a small Bluetooth FM transmitter, which converts the phone's signal into a radio frequency that can be picked up by the car's radio. More advanced transmitters include a microphone, USB ports for charging, and support for voice assistants. Alternatively, AUX or USB cables can be used for direct connection and clearer audio. The price of these devices ranges from 10 to 25 euros.
