Paiholy PT-42 Bluetooth 5.3 FM Transmitter

The Paiholy PT-42 is a Bluetooth 5.3 FM transmitter and car charger designed for drivers who want hands-free calls and audio streaming through their vehicle stereo. It suits owners of iPhone models from the 6S through the 17 series and Samsung Galaxy phones from the S8 series to the S25 series, plus Google Pixel 6 to 8a devices. The unit plugs into a 12 V socket and adds a real-time voltage display for battery monitoring.

Retractable cables and dual USB ports

Two built-in retractable cables extend to 80 cm, one with a Lightning connector and one with a USB-C connector supporting PD 30 W, so separate cords are unnecessary. A standard USB-A port and an additional PD port provide two extra charging positions for passengers. The compact grey housing fits flush in the socket, keeping the cabin tidy while delivering up to 3 A total output at 5 V.

Bluetooth 5.3 pairing and FM range

Bluetooth 5.3 pairs in roughly one second and reconnects automatically on subsequent trips, reducing audio drop-outs during calls and music playback. The FM transmitter operates across the 88.1 MHz to 107.9 MHz band, letting drivers find a clear frequency in most regions. No companion app or firmware updates are required; the device functions immediately after tuning the car radio.
