Introduction
FM10+ is a clever little device allowing you to play your music through your car
stereo directly from your memory device, without having to connect any wires.
While playing your favorite music in the car, the FM10+ will also simultaneously
charge your smartphone via its USB port so there is no longer the need to worry
about battery life. The backlight 16-bit display allows you to see the file information
and frequency clearly, whether in day or nighttime light conditions, while the
flexible gooseneck design allows you to angle and adjust the FM10+ as you desire.
The FM10+ now has added features, such as a built-in equalizer that allows you to
select from such options as Rock, Classical, Normal, Pop, Jazz or Country in order to
make your music listening experience that extra bit more enhanced.
