Bluetooth receiver to VHF transmitter gadget? Request for a suitable device.

[jerrytug]

My poor ghetto blaster got rained on and the Aux input, my only use for it, is dead.

But the VHF radio works fine. I think there are gadgets which can receive bluetooth signals from my iPad, and convert them to VHF, short range, to be picked up by the ghetto blaster? Any suggestions please.. it cost me £100, and I am having severe withdrawal symptoms from the lack of thumping bass.
There is such a confusing lot of stuff advertised online. Power supply could be 240AC, or USB, not bothered.
Thanks if you can recomend a decent one from Amazon etc, happy new year by the way!

FM transmitters are freely available. They need to be plugged into the headphone socket of something, ideally an Alexa device but your iPad would do!

Aha thanks, to plug in the 3.5mm ipad headphone output socket, is that correct?

Yes in fact SOMEWHERE I have a brand new one lurking. Possibly in a drawer at work. Will not be able to look for it until Tuesday but you would be welcome to it.

I see that I am behind the times and Bluetooth to FM devices are quite common now. Looking at the variety, they all seem much of a muchness.

I used to have one in the truck when I had a cassette player and wanted to listen to the phone. They’re no money on eBay.

The ‘best’ ones are from out of the EU as they’re unrestricted power. The EU ones are tiny power. Alright in a truck but not good if you want to keep the pad in the clean at one end of the workshop, for example

Top info, much obliged guys. Where would I order a non EU one @James1979 because you have described my clean/dirty situation exactly
I guess presumably not on Scamazon? Sorry to be a pest

I got mine from eBay from China or wherever it came from. The ones on the shelf at Asda and what have you are EC compliant and low power.

I’ve just had a look and the ranges are all about 2m. Wonder if aliexpress has high power ones? It may be that they’re all advertising 2m but will do more? Bit like the diesel heaters.

This one will get your ears pregnant, apparently. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wireless...=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
