What is Gizmo Guy Gadget?
Gizmo Guy Gadget is a Car Bluetooth Adapter ( aka iPhone FM transmitter ) to add Bluetooth to factory car radios.
You will be able to stream music from your phone through your old car’s stereo or navigation systems.
What made Gizmo Guy Gadget special?
Gizmo Guy Gadget is a Bluetooth FM Transmitter with Zero Static.
Regular FM transmitters can sometimes cause static and humming noise due to ground loop interference. This is caused by the connection between the FM transmitter and the car battery. The metal chassis of the car can act as a ground conductor, and if the FM transmitter is not properly insulated, it can pick up electrical interference, resulting in static, hissing, and humming noise.
The Gizmo Guy Gadget is different because it is designed to be powered by an external USB power source or a battery bank. This isolates the FM transmitter from the car’s electrical system, reducing the risk of ground loop interference and eliminating static noise.
You will be able to enjoy amazing CD-quality sound through your original car radio without an expensive replacement.
The difference between VIP vs. Basic Transmitters?
The VIP version is made with a beautiful metal casing with additional features like a rotary dial and an extra-bass boost button.
The Basic version comes with a plastic casing without the rotary dial or extra-bass option.
Both VIP and Basic feature the same Gizmo Guy’s clean sound quality technology.
How is Gizmo Guy Gadget different from products from Amazon or eBay?
Gizmo Guy Gadget works with CD-quality music without buzz, hiss, or static noises.
Gizmo Guy Gadget is designed to work seamlessly with your iPhone or Android phone through Bluetooth 5.0. The key to its exceptional sound quality is the separation of the power source and radio emitter. Unlike other compact FM transmitters that combine these components, Gizmo Guy Gadget keeps them separate to eliminate static noise and the skull penetrating humming and hissing sound from the alternator ( commonly known as ground loop noises ) is a result of the electricity which is caused by interference between the power and radio signal.
Why the transmitter looks different from your video?
The white rectangle one you see on my Youtube video was the 4th Gen. ( discontinued 02/22 ).
The 4th Gen requires a physical connection to your iPhone and works on iPhone ONLY.
Gizmo Guy Gadget is now in the 5th Generation.
The Gizmo Guy Gadget is constantly evolving as your smartphone.
The 5th Generation is using Bluetooth 5.0 and works on Apple and Android Phones.
The Basic and VIP you see on this site are the new 5th Gen Gizmo Guy Gadgets.
What is the difference between the 4th Gen and the 5th gadget?
The 4th Gen transmitter is a true wireless transmitter that takes battery power from your iPhone. It is made with proprietary technology on Apple’s Lightning connection. It is for Bluetooth wireless music and was limited to iPhones only.
The 5th Gen ( 10/22 ) is a Bluetooth 5.2 transmitter that offers better sound quality with faster auto-pairing capabilities.
( It is compatible with both Apple iOS and Android smartphones. )
How do I know which is best suited for my car?
The VIP is made for the Upgraded Premium OEM Sound system*.
The Basic is perfect to add Bluetooth capability to your factory radio.
( * Premium sound system such as Bose Sound System for Mercedes Benz or Mark Levinson for Lexus. Luxury brands like Bang & Olufsen, JBL, Revel, Mark Levinson, Harman Kardon, Infinity, and Lexicon )

Troubleshooting Tips
Sound Transmission through FM radio waves is a tricky business. Cheap FM transmitters can produce engine noises due to electrical feedback caused by the device being powered by the same positive and negative sources. This can be caused by bad ground in the car, too many ground paths, or loose contacts in the lighter receptacle. Low modulation levels of the transmitter can also contribute to this issue. ( This is one of the reasons why the major manufacturers DO NOT feature it on the smartphone.) Many factors could result in your sound transmission being less than ideal. Your vehicle and location are all important variables. I’ve personally tested hundreds of different vehicles to make sure that this gadget is compatible with most vehicles and that the sound is at its best quality.
I GET STATIC WHEN I USE THE TRANSMITTER.
- AUDIO SIGNAL: If you are experiencing issues with the audio signal, test the FM Transmitter with another device, if possible (another phone, iPod, etc.). If the FM Transmitter works as expected with another device, then the issue is most likely isolated to your device.
- VOLUME: For best results, set the volume on your device to 90%, and adjust the volume on your vehicle’s stereo as needed. To protect a user’s hearing, most devices contain a feature that limits the volume coming from the headphone port, so you may need to check your device’s settings for this volume-limiting option and then disable it. Phone calling volume is controlled by the ” Calls ” and music volume is controlled by ” Media ” in your phone volume settings.
- STATIC: To eliminate or minimize static, use frequencies at the lower end of your vehicle’s stereo range, and also place the device on your vehicle’s dashboard or passenger seat, away from the FM Transmitter itself. Try to keep the VIP wire as straight as possible without folding and away from other electronic devices. When properly calibrated with your vehicle’s stereo, you should not be bothered by hissing or static noises.
- FM FREQUENCIES: Typically they broadcast on any FM frequency from 87.5 to 108.0 MHz in most of the world, and 88.1 to 107.9 MHz in the US and Canada.
The 87.9 works for 95% of people in the United States. For quick adjustments in the future, you can use the preset buttons on both the FM Transmitter and your vehicle’s stereo to save these unused frequencies. - POWER: If the FM Transmitter does not turn on, then test it in another vehicle, if possible. If it works as expected in the other vehicle, then the issue is most likely with your vehicle’s power port. If it fails to work as expected in the other vehicle, then check to see if the fuse in the FM Transmitter has blown. The FM Transmitter is equipped with a 3-amp/250-volt fuse which is accessed by unscrewing the two-piece metal tip.
- If you prefer to use AUX. ( VIP ONLY ) You can turn off the FM transmitter function by pressing and holding the dial until the frequency number flashes, and then hold it for another 5 seconds until the display flashes “ bt”. Release the dial, and the FM transmitter function will be disabled.
The Music works but the talk hands-free is NOT.
There are several iPhone settings that can affect the audio output of phone conversations, depending on the specific aspect you want to control:
Overall Volume:
- Volume buttons: The most basic control is the physical volume buttons on the side of your iPhone. These adjust the overall call volume, both for your mic and the speaker output.
- Control Center: During a call, you can swipe down from the top-right corner to open Control Center. The top slider directly controls the call volume.
Call Options:
- Voice Isolation (FaceTime/Calls): Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Call Audio. There, you can turn on Voice Isolation, which prioritizes your voice and blocks background noise in FaceTime/calls.
- Wide Spectrum (FaceTime): In the same settings, you can enable Wide Spectrum to capture and transmit all surrounding sounds during a FaceTime call for a more immersive experience.
- Phone Noise Cancellation: On some iPhone models, there’s a “Phone Noise Cancellation” option in Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Call Audio. This helps reduce ambient noise on the other end of the line.
Accessibility-focused settings:
- Mono Audio: In Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual, you can turn on Mono Audio to combine the left and right channels for improved clarity, especially for users with hearing impairment.
- Balance: In the same settings, you can adjust the Left-Right Stereo Balance slider to favor one ear over the other, helpful for hearing differences.
- Headphone Accommodations: If using earphones or headphones, Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Headphone Accommodations offers adjustments like boosting specific frequencies for customized audio during calls. You can even create a custom profile based on your hearing preferences.
Other factors:
- Cellular network quality: Poor network conditions can impact call audio quality.
- Bluetooth headset/speaker settings: If using an external audio device, its own settings might affect call audio output.
Remember, some settings might only work with specific call types (FaceTime vs. phone calls) or devices.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or need further clarification on a specific setting.

ABOUT FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION – FCC
As mandated by the FCC or your local equivalent. In the USA, the rule requires an ERP of 0.01 µW, or 10 nW, or -30dBm. So ok, you’re only going a meter or so, so that signal at the car’s antenna should be around -40dBm to -45dBm, depending on the actual distance. And a typical consumer FM receiver should be good to -90dB or so receive sensitivity. When it comes reception and sound quality. It’s all about the antenna! Where’s your antenna? Where’s the FM transmitter? Chances are, the answer to the latter is “somewhere near a DC outlet”. So if you have one of those in-windshield FM dipole antennas, you might have a pretty good signal, though the direct path to your antenna might be through your dashboard. But if your antenna is one of those shark fins on the roof, you have a 5-10 millimeters of steel between your transmitter and your receiver. The final sound quality will be degraded accordingly. The FM radio band is essentially a “line of sight” band. To hear a signal, you have to be able to see the tower. FM radio does have some power to penetrate buildings and the like, but ultimately the maximum distance that can be achieved is mostly set by the curvature of the earth. But on the “medium wave” band, radio waves can be ducted and can curve around the earth, especially at night.
FM radio sounds so much better is that the extra space effectively allows them to send more data. Without getting technical, they have 20x as much space, and so can send not just a wider range of audio frequencies, but also stereo sound, and other more modern improvements like the Radio Data System – Wikipedia.
