I have one of these in our RV, have it hooked to an amplified set of old computer speakers mounted in a nice wooden case I built for the entire outfit. I use the USB to supply music via a jump drive, never gave any thought, I guess to using the USB to charge my cell phone, as I have a nice charging station I built using a massive 12v to 5v step down transformer and a 10 output USB stick each USB port switchable. I had to go into the stick and rewire it to handle the amperage so each can furnish 2 AMP output if required, although most of my USB things are quite happy with around 1 amp to charge. The unit is quite nice though, mine is a few years old now and still going strong. This allows me to have a nice radio in the front of our motor home without having to strain the starting battery, as it runs off the house batteries which are topped off when we are hooked to shore power, which we usually are when hiding down south come winter.

Great vid man thanks for posting this.. I ordered the 5v version of this from ebay for $4.79USD and connected it to a PAM8403 3watt 2 channel mini amp i got for $0.75USD also from eaby to the 5v side of a 4pin molex connector from my computers power supply and it works awesome !! The best part is the MP3/bluetooth is mounted to the face of the computer and the amp is mounted internaly to the computers case and i mounted speaker conectors at the back of the case and run about 8ft of speaker wire to some kinda large yamaha 3 way house speakers and that PAM8403 powers the speakers with no issues what so ever and sounds very nicee. The nice thing about this is no matter where the computer is its got a MP3/Bluetooth/FM radio with an amp that doesnt require an extra power source that can drive any non amplifed speakers you can find since the PAM8403's speaker Ohms range is from 4 to 16 ohms. The same thing can be done with the 12v version and a PAM8410 mini amp and can be wired to the 12v side of a computers molex and mounted internally in a compter or put in a external box and powered with a 12v power supply

you can get the same one with Bluetooth as well, i used one to make an mp3 player and to be honest the sound is not bad at all. and its small and cheap to so if you bugger it up you can get a new one for cheap. one more thing some of them are 12v to so they have a voltage regulator on bord.

Excellent review Kris thank you. Quick tip...I always tie a knot in the power lead when the leads are the same length so that it separates the positive and negative avoiding unintentional shorts . Its also provides a quick visual cue as to which lead is the positive when making temporary connections. In the car you could use the cigar lighter socket with a 5v adaptor plug and cable wired to the MP3 module. I am thinking about fixing mine in the armrest box where I have a 12v cigar socket fitted to charge mobiles

I got a model with bluetooth. But it has a lot worse FM reception. As I investigated with an AM radio -which is naturally sensitive to any sort of electromagnetic fluctuations rather than letting us listen to something meaningful at all- I get a terrible interference when the circuit is seeking for bluetooth devices. I read THE SAME interference when I set the circuit to FM Mode. Bluetooth does involve a job that uses FM reception, but in UHF range. As it turns out, the circuit is seeking further for Bluetooth devices even when it's set to FM mode, and the bluetooth carrier beats with whatever FM carrier would I seek for, generating random noises and muddying up the whole reception. Also, FM Radios does not interfere with each other.

Nice to see this module demonstrated in English. How do you rate the audio fidelity - is it pretty much distortion free? Can it play MP3s at any stream rate i.e up to 350Mb/s but even better if it can play 24bit WAVs? I have been looking for a cheap but good file player to use as a front end with some of my general audio systems and this unit seems (potentially) ideal?

Hi. I got this one (or it looks super similar) and I got myself a TPA3110 XH-A232 amplier board. Both a super cheap. I assumed it was with out amplification thats why I go the TPA3110 XH-A232 board. But when connectin left and right it is on maximum volume super super loud. So I thought maybe it is amplified. But now I am confused again. Apparently I need somthing else? But That would give me dual volumes? one on the mp3 bt fm decoder and extra to the amplifier? that's weird?
