On my quest to buy a Prowler - I found myself walking away from a number of beautiful cars when the last owner “butchered” the dash and the original wiring to install an after-market radio.

This event not only distracts from the beauty of the original interior, it also lowers the cars re-value. It’s just so wrong to see a big 7” LED display dominating the Prowlers dash! For the most part the radio in the Prowler is a good powerful system, so you don’t need extra power or amplifiers.

While I wanted some extra features like Bluetooth and Pandora for music, I wasn’t going to change the original looks of the dash. As an alternative, I opted for a Scosche hands free “Bluetooth FM Transmitter”. For those who are not up to speed on this technology, its fairly simple. The way it works is it acts like a miniature radio station to transmit to your radio.

The Scosche Hands Free Device Works perfect and streams music from apps like Pandora from your smart phone to the radio and it sounds even better than a FM station since the signal going in is digital and a strong analog signal is coming out. Aside from its great performance, you also have the capability to “Skip” songs, with the few buttons on the display.

Another plus is you can make and receive “Hands Free” phone calls on the device and listen to the phone on your Prowlers car speakers.

The device is also equipped with a USB fast charger, so in the event you need to top off your phone battery, just plug it in and your good to go.

The piece retails for $49.95. I picked up mine from Wal-Mart, which sells them for $39.95. It takes just minutes to select the frequency you like to transmit on (preferably one that is not used) tune in that station then pair the device to your phone and start enjoying some good sounds.

In Conclusion - When I installed my vertical doors I had to replace my bad door speakers so now my stock radio sounds great. Having the Bluetooth device allowed me to remove the CD player behind the passenger seat so it slides back a bit further. That extra space is now a new home for a mini tool set.
