What the AI looks for in Bluetooth Car Kits

Connection type
AUX receiver if a 3.5 mm input exists; FM transmitter only if it does not; visor speakerphone for calls-only use Wired AUX sounds clearly better than FM, which picks up hiss and interference.
Call microphone
Prefer a microphone you can position near the driver, or noise cancellation such as cVc A microphone tucked behind the gear stick at the console makes calls hard for the other person to hear.
Auto-reconnect and power behavior
Should reconnect to the phone automatically when the ignition turns on Having to pair by hand every trip is the main reason people stop using these kits.
Ground noise
Keep a ground loop isolator on hand for AUX units powered from USB Buzz that changes with engine speed is common and an isolator fixes it cheaply.

Questions

Why does my FM transmitter hiss?

Another station or interference is crowding the frequency. Pick an empty frequency near the low or high end of the band and turn the phone volume up.
