Not suitable for all cars

Although this is a good product that works well, it couldn't be used in the cigarette holder in my Honda CR-V as it fouled on the heater and air con switches and the dash mounted hand brake. With the phone in the holder it also becomes quite top heavy and has a tendency to spin round in the socket If you want to listen to the radio though and the phone rings you will have to change the radio channel before answering the phone All that said I have managed to mount it in a usable position with the aid of an extension socket and some simple engineering skills.

OK but....

Quality is fine, the FM tuner worked well with decent audio but the problem is the short flexi arm. It needs to be longer as when my phone is attached the arm tend to lean forward with the weight

Ergonomically bad!

Technically, this product has everything you need to play your music from your iphone 5 to your older model car (2003 Ford Focus), it just seems to be fitted together in the wrong order.... FM Transmitter - Great Bandwith Display - Great USB charging port - Great Phone Clamp - Great Handsfree calling - GREAT! HOWEVER, i am using this piece of kit exactly as the picture shows in-car on the mobilefun page, but with every bump and pothole you drive over, the counterbalance of the phone twists in the cigarette lighter port eventually until it will obstruct the gear stick or pop out of the lighter hole altogether causing a loud hiss on the un-tuned radio station you were using! The Swan neck is way to rigid nd may as well be a solid stick, if only to move the swan neck to come out the top of the device instead of the front would make a massive difference.
