Fun toy
Keep it turned down and your friends will think it's real! I used it in my Lexus and it sounds pretty real! If you crank up the stereo you can totally tell it's fake! Still worth som laughs with your buddies and would make a fun gift to a guy that dives an econo-box.... Just tell 'em it's a performance booster!
A little flakey but loads of fun!
Yes, it's a little flimsy.
Yes, sometimes it doesn't work right.
But when it does work, it is AWESOME! And most of the time it works fine up until the point I get tired of it and turn it off.
Here is what seems to work the best for me. Wait until you start the car to plug it in (I assume you've already tuned your radio, etc.)
Slowly start rev'ing the car up to 3000 rpms. As soon as you hear a single beep, back off the revs, then you should hear 2 beeps and you're good to go.
As far as plugging your mp3 player into it, that works too, but sounds like FM. I get better sound using a cassette adapter but this works too in a pinch.
A audio item from Amazon with no audio sample ???
would be nice if Amazon had added an audio sample to their list of SoundRacer items.
No Sound - No Purchase.
disappointment big time
I got it for a 2009 and 2004 Pontiac Vibe. It works at first then drops contact with the pulses and reverts to idle(within a minute). The 2004 has a priemium sound package and it is nothing but tinny. You need a serious subwoofer to get anywhere close to the portrayed sound. Used only as a FM converter....it is tinny. You just can't dail in enough base to listen to music through it. Barrow someone elses.
The plus side? It looks cool!!
Overrated
Doesn't work as shown on YouTube - seems to lose it's signal when coasting (auto trans), and doesn't pick it up again until engine is restarted. Pretty expensive toy, but "A Fool and his money...."!
