Scosche C89S Bluetooth 5.4 Adapter
The Scosche C89S adds wireless audio and fast charging to vehicles lacking built-in Bluetooth. It plugs into a 12V or 24V cigarette lighter socket and transmits sound to the car radio via FM frequencies. The unit supports Bluetooth 5.4 for streaming from smartphones, USB drives or TF cards up to 64GB. It delivers 48W total output through PD and QC 3.0 ports to power three devices at once.
Drivers upgrading older cars 1990-2020
This adapter suits owners of older vehicles without AUX ports or factory Bluetooth who want hands-free calls and app audio through the existing stereo. It works in cars, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and vans. Buyers needing a permanent integrated head unit or digital audio outputs such as optical or HDMI should look at a different product category. The device relies on FM transmission, so users in dense urban areas with crowded radio bands may experience interference.
Check 12V or 24V socket and FM space
Before ordering, confirm the vehicle provides a standard 12V or 24V cigarette lighter outlet for power. Ensure at least one clear FM frequency exists locally — 88.1, 88.3 or 106.9 are common examples — so the transmitter can be tuned without static. Verify your phone or media player supports Bluetooth 5.4 pairing for the wireless link. The adapter measures 2.12 x 1.8 x 3.3 inches and weighs .059 kilograms, so check physical clearance around the socket.

Questions about this item
Does my car need a 12V or 24V cigarette lighter socket for the 48W PD+QC 3.0 fast charging to work?
The adapter plugs into any 12V or 24V cigarette lighter socket, so it works in cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs and vans.
Will Bluetooth 5.4 streaming still reach my phone if I leave it in a cup holder 33 feet away?
The Bluetooth 5.4 link is rated up to 33 feet, so a phone in a cup holder or door pocket stays connected for calls and music.
How do I confirm the FM transmitter is on a clear frequency after I pair the adapter?
Tune the car radio to an unused frequency such as 88.1, 88.3 or 106.9, set the adapter to the same frequency using the I<< / >>I buttons, then hold the answer button to lock it; clear audio means it is working.
