Extended Product Information

FAQs

How do I find a clear FM frequency?

Scan through your car radio's FM stations. Listen for frequencies with no or very little static. Many apps are also available that can help identify unused frequencies in your area.

Can I charge my phone using this device?

The miLINK FM-BVM is designed for audio transmission and hands-free calls; it does not have a USB port intended for charging devices.

What is the maximum capacity for an SD card or USB drive?

While not explicitly stated, these types of devices typically support standard SD card capacities up to 32GB and USB drives formatted as FAT32.

Will this work with my car's navigation audio?

If your car's navigation audio is routed through the car's speakers, and your car has an FM radio, you can tune into the FM-BVM's broadcast frequency to hear it.

How do I disconnect my phone from the FM-BVM?

You can turn off Bluetooth on your phone, or you can forget the FM-BVM device in your phone's Bluetooth settings. The device will also disconnect if it loses power.

Does the gooseneck adjust the angle of the screen?

The gooseneck allows you to adjust the position and angle of the entire unit, including the display and microphone, for optimal viewing and usability.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on

Ensure the 12V adapter is securely plugged into both the device and the car's power outlet. Try a different 12V outlet.

Bluetooth connection fails

Turn off Bluetooth on your phone and then turn it back on. Restart the FM-BVM. Ensure the device is within range and not already connected to another device.

Poor audio quality or static

Try tuning your car radio to a different, clearer FM frequency. Ensure the FM-BVM is set to broadcast on that frequency. Minimize interference by turning off other nearby electronic devices if possible.

Music from USB/SD card not playing

Ensure the USB drive or SD card is properly inserted and formatted (typically FAT32). Verify the audio files are in a compatible format (e.g., MP3).

Hands-free microphone not working

Check that the microphone is not obstructed. Ensure the device is correctly paired via Bluetooth and that call audio is enabled for the FM-BVM in your phone's Bluetooth settings.
