Budi CCT06B Sound Charge Bluetooth FM Transmitter is now available at Mascom International for KSh 1,400, combining a 36W car charger and a Bluetooth-to-FM audio bridge in one plug-in unit. The Budi CCT06B carries a USB-C port rated at 30W Power Delivery and a USB-A port supplying up to 5V/3.4A, so two devices draw from a single 12V socket. Every unit is brand new and sealed. The Budi CCT06B sends music and calls from your phone to any working FM radio, and Mascom International stocks it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Most cars on Kenyan roads arrived as used imports with factory radios that never shipped with wireless pairing. A Toyota Fielder, a Probox, a Vitz, or a Nissan Note will play FM all day but ignore your handset completely. Ride-hailing drivers on Uber, Bolt, and Little sit in those cars for nine or ten hours, taking calls on speakerphone and watching the battery drain by midday. Sales representatives covering Nakuru, Eldoret, and Kisumu face the same stretch on longer routes. The Budi CCT06B answers both problems from one socket.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International states what the Budi CCT06B actually outputs rather than quoting a headline figure the two ports never reach at the same time. Users consistently report that the FM link stays steady once a genuinely empty frequency is selected, and that calls stay usable in Mombasa Road traffic. At Mascom International, we're witnessing steady weekly demand from ride-hailing drivers, matatu crews, and long-distance sales teams who want audio and charging solved together. Visit our Kimathi Street store to test the Budi CCT06B against your own handset before buying, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery to any Kenyan county.
Common Questions About the Budi CCT06B Sound Charge Bluetooth FM Transmitter
Will the Budi CCT06B work in a car that has no Bluetooth?
Yes. That is the whole point of the unit. Your car only needs a working FM radio and a 12V cigarette lighter socket, which covers almost every used import on Kenyan roads. The Budi CCT06B receives audio from your phone wirelessly, then rebroadcasts it on an FM frequency you choose. You tune the car radio to that same frequency and the music comes through the existing door speakers. No wiring, no dashboard removal, no installation fee.
How fast does the Budi CCT06B charge a phone?
The USB-C port handles up to 30W Power Delivery, which takes most current Android phones and recent iPhones from empty to roughly half in about half an hour. The USB-A port supplies up to 5V/3.4A for older handsets, dashcams, and earbud cases. Total output across both ports is rated at 36W, so charging two devices together splits that budget instead of doubling it. Bring your own USB-C or USB-A cable, or buy one at our Kimathi Street counter.
How do I set up the Budi CCT06B for the first time?
Plug the unit into the 12V socket and start the car. Press the frequency buttons until the display shows an FM channel that carries only static in your area, then tune your car radio to the identical number. Open Bluetooth on your phone, select the Budi CCT06B, and pair. Play anything and the sound arrives through the car speakers. The whole process takes under two minutes and only needs repeating if you change counties.
Does the Budi CCT06B work with iPhone and Android together?
It works with both, because Bluetooth audio streaming is a shared standard rather than a brand feature. iPhone, Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo, Xiaomi, and Redmi handsets all pair the same way. Charging is where the difference shows: iPhones and USB-C Android phones pull the faster 30W rate from the USB-C port, while older micro-USB devices use the USB-A side. Only one phone streams audio at a time, though both ports keep charging regardless of which one is paired.
Will FM interference be a problem in Nairobi?
Nairobi has one of the busiest FM bands in the country, so frequency choice matters more here than upcountry. Pick a channel at the far ends of the dial, typically below 88.5 MHz or above 107 MHz, where commercial stations rarely sit. Once set, the signal holds across the CBD, Westlands, and Thika Road without drifting. If you drive to Nakuru or Kisumu and hear a station bleeding through, change the frequency on the unit and retune the radio.
Can I play music without using my phone at all?
Yes. The Budi CCT06B reads a USB flash drive plugged into the USB-A port and plays audio files directly, which is useful when your phone battery is low or you want to keep mobile data for navigation. Track skip buttons on the unit move through the drive without touching the phone. Matatu operators and long-distance drivers on the Nairobi to Mombasa run often load one drive with several hours of audio and leave it permanently in the socket, keeping the phone free for calls.
Are hands-free calls clear enough in heavy traffic?
The built-in microphone handles normal conversation well at typical Nairobi speeds, and callers hear you through the car speakers rather than a phone earpiece. Answer and end buttons sit on the face of the unit, so your hands stay on the wheel. Road noise on rougher stretches of Mombasa Road or Thika Road does reach the microphone, so speak at a normal volume and keep the windows up on highway sections. Clients on the other end report no difficulty following a business call taken this way.
Is the Budi CCT06B worth KSh 1,400 against a Bluetooth stereo fitting?
Replacing a head unit with a Bluetooth-capable stereo in Nairobi typically runs from KSh 8,000 to KSh 20,000 once fitting labour is added, and it permanently alters the dashboard on a car you may resell. The Budi CCT06B costs KSh 1,400, installs in seconds, adds two charging ports the stereo would not give you, and moves to your next vehicle. For drivers who change cars often, that difference matters more than audio purity.
Technical Specifications
Charging Output and Port Configuration
- Total rated output reaches 36W, covering a phone and a second device from one dashboard socket.
- USB-C port supports Power Delivery up to 30W, refilling most current phones to roughly half in 30 minutes.
- USB-A port supplies up to 5V/3.4A, enough for older handsets, dashcams, earbud cases, and portable batteries.
- Combined draw is capped at 36W, so two devices charging together share that ceiling rather than doubling it.
- Both ports stay active while audio streams, so entertainment and charging run from the same socket.
- Fits the standard 12V cigarette lighter socket used in Kenyan saloon cars, station wagons, vans, and pickups.
Wireless Pairing and FM Transmission
- Receives audio from your phone over Bluetooth, then rebroadcasts it on an FM frequency you select.
- Works with any vehicle that still has a functioning FM radio, including factory units without auxiliary sockets.
- Frequency is set manually on the unit, letting you dodge stations already occupied in your county.
- Sound reaches the car speakers through the existing head unit, so volume, fade, and balance controls still work.
- Pairing takes under a minute the first time and repeats from the phone Bluetooth menu afterwards.
- Range covers the cabin comfortably, so the phone can sit in a pocket, cup holder, or door bin.
Hands-Free Calling and Microphone Behaviour
- Built-in microphone picks up your voice from the driving position without a headset or earpiece.
- Answer and end buttons sit on the face of the unit, keeping both hands available for steering.
- Incoming call audio routes to the car speakers, pausing music and resuming it when the call ends.
- Speakerphone routing keeps the handset out of your hand, which matters under Kenyan traffic rules on phone use.
- Voice quality holds at city speeds; open windows on highway stretches let more road noise reach the microphone.
- Works with the dialler and voice assistant on both iOS and Android handsets sold in Kenya.
Playback Sources and Supported Files
- Plays audio directly from a USB flash drive inserted into the USB-A port, no phone required.
- Track forward and back buttons step through the drive contents without unlocking your handset.
- Common compressed audio files play without conversion, so an existing music drive usually works straight away.
- Switching between wireless streaming and drive playback happens with a single button press on the unit.
- Drive playback saves mobile data, useful when your Safaricom or Airtel bundle is reserved for navigation.
- Music continues while your phone handles Google Maps, WhatsApp, or M-Pesa prompts in the background.
Display, Controls and Vehicle Monitoring
- Front display shows the active FM frequency in large digits, readable in daylight at a glance.
- Car battery voltage appears on the same display, giving early warning of a weakening battery.
- Physical buttons rather than touch controls, so you can operate them without looking down.
- Frequency steps move in standard FM increments, letting you land precisely on an empty channel.
- Indicator lighting stays dim enough for night driving on unlit sections of road.
- Controls sit on the exposed face, remaining reachable when both charging ports are occupied by cables.
Build, Protection and Vehicle Compatibility
- Compact black body sits close to the console, clearing the gear lever in most saloon layouts.
- Accepts the 12V to 24V range, covering private cars, matatus, lorries, and light commercial vehicles.
- Protection circuitry guards against over-current, over-voltage, short circuit, and excess heat during long drives.
- Rigid plug contact holds position over rough surfaces such as unpaved estate roads and murram sections.
- No dashboard cutting or wiring is needed, so the car returns to standard condition when you unplug it.
- Small footprint moves between vehicles easily, which suits households sharing one unit across two cars.
