Jan, I just bought one…no instructions…no joy…not compatible with my thumb drive or SD card…just says no files, no matter how i arrange them in folders

SORRY, but you have wrong attitude, when you say ‘what to expect…cheapo item’……I expect products to give basic functionality no matter what the price !

GO away RedFox!!!…come back when you implement some quality in your production…biggest joke is the ‘QC passed’ sticker on the back !

hi..
i just bought this mp3 modulator.. did’nt know the brand.. RM29.00
use the 1gb pendrive.. works well..
1st time put into the socket.. did’nt work..
solution: put back the cigar lighter to the socket.. push till the coil heats up.. then put the mp3 modulator.. it will work..
prob comes when the frequency same with the radio station frequency.. the sound will not came out.. set the frequency to the 87.5.. it will works fine..
sound quality is fine with stock sound system.. my head unit just perodua cassette player..
reason to buy: boring to hear lot’s of nonsense things at the station..
lots of advertisements..

Oh yeah, another thing, I forgot to tell you that my car cigarette lighter works perfectly, and as I’ve seen on the Opel car, also the Mp3 modulator works, so there must be a connection issue here!

Hey I also brought the same model in the photo, except it’s from another brand, it has written on it: “Omega Car usb & SD Mp3 FM transmitter”
Everything else is the same.

So I plug it into my car’s cig ligter, the car is Citroen Saxo, old model, and the mp3 modulator won’t turn on. Then I tried it on another car, an newer Opel of a friend of mine, and it worked. Then I tried it on my dad’s car wich is a Citroen Berlingo, he already has an garmin gps system into his car cig lighter. And again it didn’t work, then we looked at the garmin input switch (by this I mean the very end of the narrow side of the mp3 modulator, where a metallic piece, a button is located) and at the mp3 modulator imput swicth, then we found the garmin switch looked preety much the same size and shape, except that the metallic piece, the switch button at the very end of the imput switch, was just a little bit longer than on the mp3 modulator’s one.

So I’m asking is there a problem with french cars?
Do they have a deeper cig ligter switch holes?

I think that the Opel one’s switch hole was less deep.
If so I should try connecting the end of the switch hole, and the metallic piece button at the very end of the imput swtich?

Thanks, hope you understood my message

Hi,
I just bought a Redfox FM modulator as well (the one in white). I does not come with a detailed manual, so I do not know how to change the radio frequency on the device. When I plug in, it shows 88.1 FM. But in my area, it is the frequency of a radio station. So sometimes I can hear static noise behind. How do I change the radio frequency on the device to an empty station?

And also, how do I know when the fuse needs to be replaced? Can it be done by myself as in I can just open the device and replace it or I have to bring it to a shop?
Besides, my remote control wasn’t working at all even though it is new.
Thank you for your advice.

make sure there are no mix files (eg docs, exe, etc) only mp3 files. If it can’t read from folder, put all mp3 files in root. Also don’t exceed max files in USB drive (depends on mp3 player). Also some USB drive won’t work, try another brand. If still don’t play, return back to shop for checking/warranty claim. tada!

Hi Jan,
Good info. After saw a promo, rm39 model FT20e and checking out with my colleague who is using one (older version) too and highly recommended plus info from your review, decided to get one to try it out. Not bad at all. Overall great stuff.

Have a nice day! Cheers.

Nurul – it sounds like you’ve got the repeat function working. Press the play button for a couple of seconds and it should change back to single play.

Hi,
I just bought this device a few days ago. I found that the cigarette lighter socket heated up. Will it burn down my mp3 modulator? I am worried about it. I am not sure whether is because of get heated up, there are some ’sa..sa..’ sound appearing.
