tranzit blu? I like mine. Has some drawbacks, but not bad.

Don't get a Dension. It is temperamental at best, broken at worst. The Tranzit Blu is a better option.

"Tranzit BLU HF" is great. Cheap and work every time. This work better than any "FM modulator" as it is direct antenna connection. Sound quality is good but not perfect.

I read the other thread on this Transit blu & my ? i've tried one of these FM modulators before where you have to find an unused station on the dial.I found when you live in the city where there's plenty of radio stations & you drive around from area to area you have to constantly find a new empty station every 5 mins making it a PIA they only seem to work when your in the middle of nowhere.Am i missing something or does this thing not work like that ?

if you download their app on an apple device you can change the tune frequency to whatever you want. I like 85.9

There is a new Mobridge model and I will be having it installed as soon as the backorder is filled. I will then post my experience. Much of what I have read about these sorts of devices seems to be based on DIY installations. It will be interesting to see if a professional installation makes any difference.

Please do report back on this. I would love the track controls on the steering wheel.


Volume and music display still works with "Tranzit" though.


I had Mobridge before and hated the work it took to get the dam thing to actually work. That why I like the "transit." Its easy and I can stream any music with my iphone while its in my pocket.

I live in New York City. You trip over radio stations here. No issues with the Tranzit. It blocks the signal if the phone is paired.

mobridge, I would rather have something that I can rely on ever time I get in the car. Sometime it work, mistimes, no.

Tranzit works all the time. Btw I don't work for either company, and thankfully not for mobridge.

Motorola Roadster

I use the Motorola Roadster, I can move it from car to car and it works pretty well.

I use a good playlist and let it rip.
