Hands free car kits

Friday, 30 March 2012 23:00

Hands free car kits Technology has advanced so much recently that we have been forced to use our mobile phones more and more and more! From sending emails, messages, answering phone calls and surfing the web whilst on the go!
One of the biggest issues people have is talking on their mobile phones whilst driving, some of us are good at it and can multi-task quite well, others loose concentration whilst on the road which can lead to car crashes, speeding fines, injuries and even death.
There is a simple and effective way to use your mobile phone whilst driving and that's to purchase a hands free car kit. Quiet simply its a device that can be installed into your vehicle allowing you to use your mobile phone with out the need to touch it or take your eyes off the road, making your commute to work a lot safer!
There are currently three types of hands free car kits available to purchase, all use a wireless technology called Bluetooth.
Briefly, Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology used for connecting and transferring information between devices such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, PDAs, printers, digital cameras, mice and keyboards. Bluetooth makes it easy to connect two devices wirelessly when it would be otherwise impossible to connect them with cables.

Hard wired kits

Hard wired kits are by far the best choice on the market, they are also the most expensive. This product is hard wired to your vehicle and runs through your stereo system making it such a breeze to use. An external microphone is mounted near your sun visor and the sound quality is superb. Multiple phones can be connected via bluetooth, when you receive an incoming calls its a matter of pushing a button and hey presto!
My brands of choice: Parrot, Bury and Carcomm
Portable kits - In ear / sun visor mounted  
In ear and sun visor mounted kits are both portable, run from a battery and can be used in almost every place.
The difference between the two is quiet obvious... One sits in/around your ear like a hearing aid, this is a more personal type of product and is great if you want to keep your conversations personal and to your self.
The other is a product that mounts to your sun visor, has a loud speaker and can be moved from vehicle to vehicle. In some cases this product is not ideal in noisy vehicles such as 4x4's as the loud speaker on some products can be quiet faint.
My brands of choice: Blueant, Motorola, Nokia
Remember the right product is the one that meets your needs, saves you from getting speeding tickets and saves lives so remember to purchase one of these for your next vehicle purchase!
