Default Will those bluetooth transmitters damage audio components?

I was looking into using the device posted below to stream music from my phone to the head unit using a fm signal, I am not to familiar with this type of device though I have a 05 ls430 and it has the mark levinson amp which is very expensive to replace as is the speakers and head unit. My question is will it damage my amp head unit or speakers? Link provided below

I used to hate having FM Transmitters with an AUX way too much static , now I see they have bluetooth not familiar with that, I personally think this might work better
Amazon Amazon
. As long as your not blasting the unit it shouldn't do any harm to your factory radio.

For years in my previous car (without Bluetooth or even an AUX-IN) I used a cheap FM transmitter made by Coby (long discontinued). Most FM devices were junk, with lots of noise; the Coby by contrast was excellent.

Suggest reading reviews on Amazon of the unit you are contemplating and if they like it, you will like it.

There is nothing to "damage" with your current system. It just creates another FM station localized to your car.
