The Best Bluetooth Car Kit Brands in the Market

DON’T TALK ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE WHILE DRIVING ON ANY ROADWAY’S EVER! You don’t want to get charged a hefty fine by the traffic law enforcement officers or your car, mobile phone impounded, do you? And for this reason, whenever you get in your car, connect your mobile phone to your Bluetooth car kit. Why? It will act as a hands-free, relieving you of the hassle of dabbling with your phone to receive calls or change the music.

A good Bluetooth car kit should be able to:

 

  • Synchronization with your mobile phone book.

  • Voice recognition facility for dialing numbers

  • TFT LCD monitors for display purposes

  • Interphone connectivity

 

Here’s the problem. You just don’t know which Bluetooth car kits manufacturing brand you should go for in the market. There are SO many but are they worth it? You don’t want to shell out a few quid on that. So, how do you find out what you want and what you require? And for that, I’m here.

 

You see, I did a lot of research on this subject when I was searching for my kind of device. So, during that time, I found out some useful information which you may find helpful in your making the choice. Here’s a list of the most popular Bluetooth car kit manufacturing companies that rule the car audio market.

The TOP 7 of such Bluetooth car kit product brands are as follows:

 

  • Bury THD

  • Contour Design

  • Iqua

  • Motorola

  • Mr. Handsfree

  • Pama

  • Parrot

     

You sure have heard the names of these world-class brands, but the problem is actually acquiring them. Most of them don’t entertain general public and you don’t know where to get them. Some of the authorized dealers turn out to be scams and it’s really hard nowadays to trust on anyone. Just when you are thinking so, I would suggest you to take a look at bluetoothcarkitdirect.co.uk. Complete quality at unreasonably low prices! You will like what you find.

 

Among these all, I found Parrot and Motorola to be some of the best. They come with excellent technologically up-to-date yet user-friendly features, coupled with high quality of picture and sound. If there is something called high-end functionality with marvelous quality, then these two sure are going to end up before most in the line. With superb pre-sale and post-sale customer service, I MUST say they are two of the best Bluetooth car kits producing companies out there.

 

If you are still thinking if you should take one or not, let me remind you that after the California enactment of the year 2006, most of the US American states are soon starting to legalize using your cell phone while driving. Recently in UK, a taxi driver was dragged to the court for trial and given points on his driving license because he was talking for over TEN SECONDS on his phone while driving a passenger on the busy London A20.

 

So, don’t procrastinate a second more and get a cool Bluetooth car kit to go with your mobile phone.

Introducing Bluetooth Car Kits – A Safer way to communicate on the move

There has been a lot of press recently about the use of mobile phones when we drive and the danger associated with them is obvious. However many of the general public still fail to heed warnings by the police, politicians and safety groups about the severity of offence caused and the possible outcomes that may occur. Its fair to say the media attention has highlighted the issue of phone driving and increased the public’s general awareness. However is this enough? And what else can be done to help prevent deaths on our roads by phone drivers?

 

The obvious answer is to not use the phone while driving, sounds easy when suggested on paper, but many campaigns from government and local authorities seem to fail. The message is probably heard loud and clear at the time, but when deciding whether or not to take the call it seems to be forgotten quickly. Does this show the awareness campaign if failing or is there a deeper rooted problem within society?

 

The saturation of mobile phones in the UK is increasing year upon year, this trend has lead us to believing we need our phones to feel in “contact” with our social group or families, and often we feel lost without it. I know I do. Its perhaps this feeling of urgency that encourages us to answer even when we know we shouldn’t!!! The problem stretches far and wide, Its likely that you’ll see up to or more than 30% of road users making a call, if you were to sit and count vehicles passing by on any major local road.

 

One way to negate the problem of phone driving isn’t to stop drivers using the phone, but to make the experience safer and more convenient for them. Its fairly obvious to me that if the campaigns aren’t working perhaps we should try a new strategy!

 

Bluetooth car kits may provide the answer? Bluetooth car kits pair with your mobile phone to provide a wireless connection which allows you to answer the phone if and when your driving. The bluetooth kit is safer than physically answering and holding the mobile device, allowing you to drive with both hands available.

 

There’s a counter argument that the act of engaging in conversation distracts the mind from that task at hand. However this is somewhat of a null point as any number of factors may cause distractions. Like talking to passengers, listening to a radio station, checking on the kids etc. Is talking on the phone via bluetooth more hazardous than talking to a friend in the passenger seat?

 

Ultimately the responsibility lies with the driver, its down to him/her to gauge whether they are capable of performing both acts, however its fair to say the use of bluetooth certainly increases the safety of all road users at least.

Parrot Bluetooth Car Kits – Still Leading the Game

With all the Bluetooth car kits on the market today, the Parrot Bluetooth kits are some of the most versatile. The Minikit Slim is a discreet model that clips to your visor, which, when paired with your mobile phone, automatically synchronizes its phonebook with the list of contacts in your mobile phone. This kit is for anyone who wants all the perks of having a Bluetooth car kit, but doesn’t like the large dashboard display of some of the other kits, such as the Bury.

 

The Parrot PMK 5800 gives you all the benefits of a wired or wireless Bluetooth car kit, without the inconvenient (and sometimes costly) process of installation. This model plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter power supply, and once paired, the device automatically connects to your mobile phone whenever you get in the car, without your phone ever leaving your pocket or purse.

The Parrot MK 6100 is a Bluetooth kit specifically designed for mobile phone users who use their phones to play music. This kit is capable of playing the MP3 files stored on your phone through your car’s stereo. The device is also capable of voice dialing.

Even if you have a moped or motorcycle, there is a Parrot for you. The SK4000 comes with a helmet-mounted earpiece and microphone, allowing users to use their mobile phones while riding. With all of the various models of Parrot Bluetooth kits available, it is quite possibly one of the most versatile and customizable line of Bluetooth kits on the market.

Choosing Between a Wired or Bluetooth Car Kit

There are a lot of options available to the customer when buying a car phone kit, with all the different car kits out there, what are the main differences between them and specifically a wired car kit and a Bluetooth kit? Each has distinct advantages and disadvantages which must be considered when choosing which kit to purchase.

Wired car kits require the phone to be placed in a cradle upon entering the car. The cradle charges the phone, and calls are routed automatically through the device, and if the device is a hardwired connection to the vehicles head-unit, audio can be heard through your car’s speakers. Any actions you want to perform – making, answering, and ending calls, or using menu options – must be done directly from your phone, so it’s essential that the cradle is positioned correctly for comfort and convenience. There are also negatives to having a cradle, the cradle will only match 1 phone or in some cases a specific brand. This means you can’t use more than one phone, rendering the kit useless if you upgrade phones or if family members or work colleagues have different mobile phones.

With a wireless Bluetooth car kit, calls are automatically routed from your phone to a small speaker or through your stereo and car speakers – your phone never has to leave your pocket or purse. The connection is established automatically when you enter your vehicle and start it. Any functions of your phone that you need to use are controlled from the dashboard control unit or via voice command, instead of from your cell phone. Additional benefits of the Bluetooth kits include the extra options available. Including additional inputs including iPod, AUX Mp3 and on some occasions USB.

Essentially, if you’re on the road for long periods of time and are concerned about phone battery life or you prefer to use your phone to control calls instead of learning to use the dashboard control unit, then the wired kit is probably for you. However, if you like the idea of using the dashboard control panel, or the convenience of not having to place your phone in the cradle when you get in the car, or you like additional music then the wireless kit is a better option.

Bluetooth Car Kits: Who’s listening to my calls?

 

Some people have had the experience of talking on a cordless or cell phone, and hearing snippets of another person’s conversation, a police radio, etcetera. Therefore, the concern over having someone eavesdrop on your conversation, or even steal data from your mobile phone, because you are using a Bluetooth device, is a legitimate one. However, these kits are designed so that doing so is extremely difficult for hackers.

Bluetooth kits utilize a common frequency for signal; the same frequency used by many mobile phones, cordless phones. However, even though it would seem as though Bluetooth devices would cause, or receive, a lot of interference because of this, the manner in which two Bluetooth devices are paired (or set up to discover and recognize each other) results in no interference. Bluetooth devices must be connected to one another, and once they are they establish a closed network of signal, which is very difficult to hack.

It is possible to take extra steps to protect yourself; if you set your phone and kit so that they are not “discoverable” by other Bluetooth devices, it is much more difficult for anyone who might want to steal your information to do so. Also, because Bluetooth devices operate on an extremely low-powered signal, which only has a diameter of about 30 feet, the likelihood that there is someone within 30 feet of you who is trying to steal the use of your phone is very low. So, despite the concerns of the ease of hacking wireless devices, the manufacturers of Bluetooth devices have safeguarded the technology against most opportunities to do so.

Bluetooth Car Kit Installation – Things to think about

 

When the time comes to purchase a new Bluetooth hands-free car kit, the first priority is obviously to decide which model to purchase. Price varies, and some have far more features than others. However, once you have decided on the kit that works best for you, the next step is to decide where to buy it, and who should install it.

Most Bluetooth car kits come with an installation guide, which allows the consumer to install the kit himself. The process is fairly straightforward, and the manual walks the Bluetooth owner through the process, step by step (where to position the microphone, et cetera). Often the most tricky areas are routing the wires and positioning microphones. However, there are several important factors to take into consideration. One has to ensure that no part of the Bluetooth device blocks access to the mirrors, controls, gearshift, or any other parts of the vehicle used while driving. Also, some manufacturers consider the Bluetooth’s warranty null and void if a consumer installs the device by himself. This is only usually the case if any part of the kit is damaged during the installation.

The other option, of course, is to have a licensed and experienced technician install your Bluetooth kit. Always ensure that the person who installs your kit is familiar with your vehicle, and has worked on others like it in the past. The installer will be able to provide a guarantee that if the kit doesn’t work when tested, the problem will be fixed. (If it doesn’t work, some installation providers will refund the price of the kit, if you purchased it there, but not the cost of the installation labor.)

Bottom line: if you have done jobs like this before, and you are confident that installing the kit yourself, you should attempt installing it yourself, and save the extra charge. However, while it may cost more, having a licensed professional do the job is usually the better option.

Bluetooth Kits: Are they really the safer alternative?

Many studies have been completed, in an attempt to ascertain the safety of using a Mobile phone while driving. The outcome of most, if not all, of these investigations has proven that Mobile phone use is a significant contributor to the likelihood of being involved in a collision. For many,

Bluetooth kits

are the answer to that problem; the kits allow drivers to keep their hands on the wheel, and their eyes on the road, while having a conversation. But just how safe are these kits?

Bluetooth kits allow drivers to keep their hands and eyes focused on the task of driving while using their cell phone. However, the fact remains that while a driver’s senses may be focused on the road, a driver’s mind will most likely be focused on the phone conversation. Then by extension the driver is not fully concentrating. Therefore, while many Counties and towns are prohibiting the use of Mobile phones while driving, some are also considering banning the use of Bluetooth kits.

How much of a distraction is a Bluetooth kit, really? For those who need to use their phones while on the road for business purposes, a Bluetooth kit is a necessity, not a superfluous distraction. As many if not all drivers know distractions can come in many forms. Anyone who has driven with the radio on, or with passengers – especially children – knows that there are other aspects of driving which can be just as distracting, if not more so, than a phone call. A perfect example of this is the Satellite navigation systems on the market today. Many of which are now more detailed than ever before, offering more detailed maps and accurate positioning (Even to the point of the angle of your vehicle on the road). Drivers often rely on these products to navigate around specific areas and motorways. In doing so, often the driver’s concentration is on the navigation unit and not the road. So, while the desire to eliminate any unnecessary distractions behind the wheel is a legitimate one, it is unrealistic to think that it is possible to rid drivers of ALL distractions. It is also unrealistic to think that those who use their Mobile phones for business purposes will be willing to give up the ability to talk and drive, equally as with the need to navigate around the counties or country, Despite the potential consequences. As such, a Bluetooth kit is clearly and not only a safer option but a necessary option rather than using a handset while driving.
