The Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter is available at Mascom International for KSh 1,500, brand new and sealed, and in stock now. It plugs into the 12V socket of your car, pairs with your phone over Bluetooth, and sends that audio to the car radio on an FM frequency you choose. The black body carries an LED digital display, playback buttons, two USB-A ports and a USB-C port for charging phones on the move. Amaya's box sums it up as a wireless FM transmitter, car MP3 player and car charger in one. You can try the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter at our shop in Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for matatu owners, taxi drivers, Uber and Bolt drivers, sales teams and families across Kenya, the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter solves one stubborn problem. Many older saloons, station wagons and matatus on Kenyan roads still run factory radios with no Bluetooth and no AUX jack. Drivers end up holding the phone to hear Google Maps, or squinting at a screen in Thika Superhighway traffic. The Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter turns that old radio into a speaker for your phone, so directions, music and podcasts play through the car's own speakers. It also charges the phone at the same time, which keeps M-Pesa and ride-hailing apps alive through a long shift.
Where many Nairobi stalls sell unbranded transmitters with no receipt and no warranty, Mascom International sells the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter sealed, with a 6-month warranty and a walk-in service desk. Customers across Nairobi tell us the biggest win is simple: no mechanic, no new stereo and no wiring, just plug in and tune. Swapping a factory radio for a Bluetooth head unit costs far more and takes a fitter's time. Visit us on Kimathi Street to hear it working, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter
How much is the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter in Kenya?
The Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter costs KSh 1,500 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the transmitter itself and a 6-month Mascom warranty against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival to all 47 counties, so you inspect the unit before paying. Charging cables are not in the box, so use the phone cable you already own. For comparison, the Amaya ACC-12C Car Charger costs KSh 2,200, which is KSh 700 more, but it charges only and carries no audio.
How does the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter play phone music through an old car radio?
The Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter receives your phone's audio over Bluetooth and rebroadcasts it as a short-range FM signal. You set a frequency on the unit, then tune the car radio to that same number, exactly as you would tune to a station. Whatever the phone plays then comes out of the car speakers: Spotify, Boomplay, YouTube Music, podcasts or Google Maps directions. The radio needs nothing more than a working FM band, so no AUX jack, USB input or new head unit is required.
Which FM frequency should I use for the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter in Nairobi?
Pick an empty FM frequency, one where your radio plays only static, then set the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter to match it. Nairobi's dial is crowded, and a channel used by a station such as Classic 105, Kiss 100 or Radio Citizen will break up your music. Scan slowly for a quiet gap and use the LED display to confirm the number. On long trips to Nakuru, Eldoret or Mombasa, local stations change from town to town, so you may need to retune along the way.
Can the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter charge my phone while it plays music?
Yes, the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter streams audio and charges phones at the same time from the one car socket. It has two USB-A ports and one USB-C port, so a driver and a passenger can both charge, with a dashcam on the third port. Output is shared between the ports when several devices run together. Mascom International does not quote a fast-charging rating for this unit, so treat it as a steady top-up that keeps Google Maps and M-Pesa running during a shift.
Should I buy the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter or the Amaya ACC-01 Car Charger?
Buy the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter if your car radio lacks Bluetooth and AUX; buy the Amaya ACC-01 Car Charger if you only need faster charging. The ACC-01 costs KSh 680 and offers 20W PD on USB-C plus 18W on USB-A, but it sends no audio anywhere. The transmitter costs KSh 820 more and adds Bluetooth audio, FM broadcast, a display and an extra port. If your car already plays phone audio through its own Bluetooth, the cheaper ACC-01 is the better pick.
Can I take hands-free calls with the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter?
Amaya's box does not list hands-free calling for the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter, so buy it for music, podcasts and navigation rather than calls. The box describes it as a wireless FM transmitter, car MP3 player and car charger, and Mascom International lists only what the box confirms. If calls through the car speakers matter to you, message us on WhatsApp before buying and we will check the unit on the shelf. Kenyan traffic law also expects drivers to keep phones out of hand while moving.
Is the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter a good buy for taxi and matatu drivers?
The Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter suits taxi, Bolt and matatu drivers whose vehicles run older radios and whose phones stay on all day. It keeps navigation audible over engine noise, plays passenger music through the speakers, and charges two or three devices from one socket. Unplug it when the car sits parked in strong sun, because heat inside a closed car in Mombasa or Nairobi at midday is hard on any electronics. Matatus with 24V electrical systems should confirm fit with us first, since the box lists 12V.
Who should buy the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter if your car has an FM radio but no Bluetooth or AUX input, and you want phone audio and charging together. It suits older family cars, ride-hailing vehicles and company pool cars used by field staff. Skip it if your car stereo already pairs with phones over Bluetooth; a plain car charger such as the Amaya ACC-08 Car Charger at KSh 640 serves you better. Audiophiles wanting studio-clean sound should also skip it, since FM broadcast adds a little hiss.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Audio Transmission
- Bluetooth audio receiver — your phone pairs wirelessly, so music, podcasts and map directions play through the car speakers instead of the phone's small speaker.
- FM transmission on a frequency you choose — the unit broadcasts a short-range radio signal, and you tune the car radio to it like any station.
- LED digital display — shows the frequency in use, so matching the radio takes seconds, even at night in a dark cabin.
- Playback buttons on the body — control your music without picking up the phone, which keeps both hands free for the steering wheel.
- Sold as a car MP3 player as well — the box carries that label; confirm on WhatsApp which storage it reads before relying on that feature.
- Phone charging built in — the same unit that carries your audio keeps handsets topped up, so one socket handles two jobs.
Compatibility
- Works with any phone that plays Bluetooth audio — Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Redmi, Oppo and iPhone models pair the same way as wireless earphones.
- Needs only an FM band on the car radio — no AUX jack, USB port or Bluetooth on the stereo, so the factory radio stays in place.
- Fits the 12V car socket — the cigarette-lighter or accessory socket found in saloons, station wagons, SUVs and pickups.
- Vehicles with 24V systems — some lorries and large buses run 24V; check with Mascom International before buying for one of those.
- Plays any app your phone runs — Google Maps, Waze, Spotify, Boomplay, Audiomack and YouTube Music all come through the radio.
Build and Controls
- Black body — blends into most dashboards and hides dust and fingerprints better than a white finish over months of daily driving.
- Plug-in design — no wiring, no dashboard removal and no fitter needed; it goes in and comes out in seconds.
- Front-facing LED display — readable from the driver's seat, so you can check the frequency at a glance without leaning over.
- Physical buttons — easier to find by touch than a phone screen while the car is moving through traffic.
- Removable when parked — take it out when you leave the car, keeping it away from heat and from opportunist thieves.
- Moves between vehicles — families sharing two cars, or drivers switching between a personal car and a hired one, can carry it along.
Inclusions and Ports
- Two USB-A ports — charge older phones, power banks and dashcams using the ordinary rectangular USB cables most households already own.
- One USB-C port — suits newer phones and accessories that use the small oval USB-C plug on both ends of the cable.
- Three charging outputs in total — a driver, a passenger and a dashcam can all draw power, with output shared between the ports.
- Package holds the transmitter only — bring your own charging cable, or pick one up at Mascom International when you collect.
- Covered by a 6-month Mascom International warranty — manufacturing defects are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
Package Contents
The Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter ships as the transmitter unit only, sealed in its retail box. No charging cable, manual extras or mounting parts are listed on the box, so plan to use the USB-A or USB-C phone cable you already have. If you need one, Mascom International stocks Amaya chargers that come with USB to Type-C, Micro-USB and Lightning cables, and our staff can match the right cable to your phone when you collect or order.
Warranty
The Amaya ACC-T02 FM Transmitter carries a 6-month warranty from Mascom International covering manufacturing defects under normal use. If the Bluetooth, FM broadcast, display, buttons or charging ports fail within that period, bring the unit and your receipt to our Nairobi CBD service desk on Kimathi Street for assessment.
