If you own an older car, chances are you don’t have anything on your dashboard to stream music or charge your phone. But we’ve discovered a great little gadget that can bring your jalopy into his 21st century. There are a lot of high-quality USB car chargers on Amazon, but we found a particularly great one that’s currently on sale. The Imden Bluetooth 5.0 FM Transmitter (currently only $14) comes with two USB-A ports, and it’s definitely faster than the wall charger that comes with your phone. And shoppers seem to agree. Over 20,000 reviewers have rated him 5 stars.

Why is this a good deal?
Imden Bluetooth transmitters are now more affordable than ever and are much cheaper than buying a new car with Bluetooth enabled by default. Oh, and almost 50% off.
Why is this necessary?
As the name makes clear, this unit isn’t just for charging purposes. Plug the Imden Bluetooth 5.0 FM transmitter into your car’s cigarette lighter and it will instantly enable Bluetooth via your mobile phone. Once connected, you can pair it with your car by tuning to an unused FM radio frequency (use RadioLocator.com to find a radio frequency in your area).
Then, just pair your phone to your car charger…that’s it! You can now stream your favorite music and podcasts from your phone to your car’s speakers over unused broadcast frequencies. What’s the best? Full surround sound without radio static or interference. Since it has a built-in microphone, you can also make hands-free calls.
This USB car charger is fast — Two USB-A ports deliver up to 80% faster speeds than traditional car chargers, and one uses Fast Charge 3.0 technology, so it’s even faster. Now your phone is ready to fully charge from zero in minutes instead of hours.
It also protects against overcharging, short circuit, overvoltage, overdischarge, etc. Translation: Your phone won’t break. This car charger is perfect for Android and Apple smartphones and can also be used to refill power battery banks, tablets, and GPS devices.
Reviewer’s opinion
“I needed a fast charger for my cell phone,” said one reviewer. “I wanted to connect my phone to listen to music in the car, but I didn’t want to break the radio or go to the expense of buying a new one. Those cassette radio adapters look stupid and I’ll never use them. It doesn’t seem to work, and they don’t work.” “I don’t need to charge my phone. So I bought this little device and I’m glad I bought it. It plugs into my cigarette lighter and It also has a USB port for connecting your phone’s charging cord.
“I’ve always had older cars so I’ve tried quite a few of these transmitters and this is by far the best one I’ve owned. Very easy to use and has great features. The quality of service is excellent. Highly recommended! ” said one 5-star fan.
One shopper said: “Works great. The Bluetooth signal is strong and great for music. The only downside is that the “Connecting!” message is very loud when I turn on the car. So you have to turn down the volume quite a bit or remember to turn it down. Your eardrum will rupture. ”
At only $14 (then $26), the Imden USB Car Charger is a hidden gem. Get it while you can.

“I tried 3 different car trash bins and this one was perfect for my needs. It looks great too. This bag blends in perfectly with the black interior so it’s not noticeable. It hangs behind the center console. It’s long enough to hang under the air vent in the back seat of a Honda CRV. My dog really appreciates it!,” a five-star fan attested.
