Affordable Car Kit
Pros
and cons of add-on Bluetooth kits
Belkin Speakerphone
The Belkin
can be mounted on any flat surface with a small adhesive disc. That gives you
flexibility in its placement but can make it hard to move it between cars. Our
Belkin plugs into an auxiliary jack, although an FM version is also available.
The Belkin and GOGroove can be used only when connected to a car’s audio
system.

There are many of Bluetooth Car Kit product in the market and for now, we recently bought four Bluetooth kits from Belkin, GoGroove, Jabra, and Motorola, which ran about $35 to $60. Each can be paired with a cell phone or portable music player so that you can carry on hands-free phone conversations and listen to music. They’re powered by plugging into a 12-volt socket or USB port (power from car battery output). Their different in designs affect the features of each item and determine how easy they are to use.

The Motorola can also send sound through the car’s audio system via FM
modulation (transmitting the signal to an unused FM frequency). The Jabra and
Motorola simply clip onto the sun visor, which makes them simple to install and
places the microphone close to your face, right where you want it. Because they
have rechargeable batteries, they can even be used unplugged. Both Jabra and
Motorola have an internal speaker, so they can be used in any car.
GOGroove Speakerphone
Bluetooth
kits let you keep both hands on the wheel during calls. The GOGroove has a
5.5-inch goose neck that plugs directly into a car’s 12-volt socket. But that
design moves the microphone farther from the driver, which can affect sound
quality. And the goose neck makes it hard to tuck out of the way. The GOGroove
links through an AUX jack or FM modulator. We’ve found using an AUX jack
provides the best sound.
Motorola Roadster Speakerphone
If you have to make a phone call from behind the wheel, go hands-free.
It’s not only less distracting than trying to juggle a phone while steering but
it’s also the only legal way to do it in many states. Most new car models offer
Bluetooth technology, which frees your hands by wirelessly connecting your
phone to the car’s audio system. But if your vehicle doesn’t have it, you can
still take advantage of the technology without spending a lot of money.
