Bluetooth handsfree. Any one use..

[$nake eye$]

one of these?

Looks like a plug and play unit tht sits on the visor.

Just curious about quality over one thats wired through the stereo..

Not bad if it saves me £60 and 3 points for using my phone!

I have a phone parrot. Works perfectly.

Had one of those clip to the sunvisor things, pony and trap.
Gone with Parrot, well worth the extra ££.

Might get what you pay for. I also have the Parrot one that clips on visor good bit of kit. Have done the "cheap" route before. And it's now binned.

Another vote for the Parrot kit (3100). Excellent piece of kit.

All together now;

That does look like some good kit. Were you all able to install in yourself? or would there be £40/£50 installation fee down halfords?

Mine just clips onto the visor. Sod having a kit installed. I change cars to often. Money down the drain.

Mine is wired in and uses the speakers from the hi fi. Very effective.

Bought a Jabra one about 3 years ago. Well pleased with it. Very long battery life and good clear sound. http://www.jabra.co.uk/Sites/Jabra/UK-UK/products/...

I've got a Jabra one too. Bought as a sale item form CPW about 6 months ago.

A sinlge charge & it lasts all week, I just eave in the centre console & pick it up when an incoming call comes.

Unlike other ones I've tried, this one has no problems recognising the voice dial commands on my phone, so it's ideal for "in car" use.

Don't buy any of the cheap sunvisor kits - I've had 2 which were both useless.

However, I ended up buying a Parrot Minikit - another sunvisor kit, which works perfectly.

[chevy-stu]

Use a sunvisor one called a 'visorlite', cost about £50, so more than that ebay one... Not pefect but does the job, little hard to hear with windows down etc.. but they all are... Can easily be swapped about, was gonna go hard-wired but need to move it from car to car...

[Engineer1]

i have a sony ericson visor kit and it's fine does the job etc, just got to remember to turn it on when i get into the car.

Don't tell me - you hold it to your ear and speak into the other end....

bought my sis a satnav for her birthday. £80 and its bluetooth handsfree for the phone.tested it for bluetooth pretty good

[markmullen]

If you change your mind and fancy a headset I can recommend a Jawbone, very clear, comfortable, long battery and a USB charger.

Although I've taken to turning off the phone (or at least silencing it) when I'm driving, I do have a Plantronics Discovery 640 for those occasions where I need to be reachable whilst in the car.

I can recommend it; voice quality is very good, and it comes with a selection of adapters so you can charge it with a selection of common phone chargers, thus eliminating the need for another wall wart in the briefcase.
