Blueant S1 Sun Visor Bluetooth Handsfree Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start with the basics - this car kit is not bad. It isn't great, but I've seen worse. The S1 is about $20 cheaper than the Supertooth 3 (the flagship carkit from Blueant). Sadly, the S1 loses the cool features found on the Supertooth 3 - voice dialing is one of them (the S1 does support a simple "answer" command for picking up calls.
The S1 does all the basics, plus it adds Bluetooth audio. This works, but don't expect it to replace your car stereo any time soon. The A2DP Bluetooth stereo lacks one minor little thing - AVCRP or Bluetooth audio remote. So, even though you can listen to music, you can't control it.
Now on to the big one - when you open the box, you see the S1, its visor clip and an AC charger. That is correct - the brainiacs at Blueant obviously felt that nobody would need a car charger for the car kit in their car.
This means you'll need to spend an additional $10 on a MiniUSB car charger cord. To me, this is an inexcusable flaw, and one that makes it seem like the product was poorly thought through.

(More customer reviews)I think I may have found the first hands free device for the BlackBerry... (I'm sure it's not the first, but I sure as heck cound't find one anywhere else). NY's finest love giving new "hands free" tickets for talking on your cell phone. I can finally remove this silly bluetooth headset and talks hands free with my BB!
Sound quality is pretty good compared to what I've heard on other FM transmitters. It's not as good as the quality I've heard with friends who have line-in plugs for their Iphones, but accptable nonetheless. No static, yet.
Setup is easy. Plug it in to the 12v outlet and tune the radio station to match what you set on the connector dock. My buddy had to give me a hand with the programming, but it wasn't really that hard. It would be nice if somehow there were less cables floating around the device! but I'm content with the fact it allows me to talk hands free and it even charges too! Maybe now I can try Pandora again? I tried it earlier, but it ate too much battery. I can follow up with the results soon.

Alpine eX-10 - Bluetooth hands-free car kit / iPod interface adapter w/built-in FM modulator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this unit a few months ago and just found the time to install it in my truck. I had it up and running my iPhone in no time at all. It was real plug and play. As far as the one reviewer using the FM modulator feature, if you have an AUX in jack on your stereo, you can connect directly. That is what I did, and like I said, it sounds great!
I placed mine right on the dash, just a little off center. The wires and control box are buried in my dash. There is a supplied remote control wire with a sensor on it for use with the remote. I spliced into my cigarette lighter and put a 12 volt outlet on it that I picked up at a truck stop, it too is buried in the dash. Very clean looking install.
As far as the bluetooth? I don't use it on the Alpine. I have a Jawbone bluetooth ear piece that works much better than an external mike. Need that noise cancellation feature in my cab.
And the navigation seems to work fine. I just pick an artist and go from there. And it is nice not having to screw around with the iPhone while driving. The little Alpine monitor looks small, but is very readable and easy to navigate.

Motorola Roadster Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Was excited to learn about this new product from Motorola - I previously had the Motorola T505 and liked it (but it broke), so decided to try the Roadster thinking it was the top of the line. I was quite disappointed however.
Without writing a whole chapter on here, I tried 2 different Roadsters. The first time I got it, I noticed one strange thing about the unit. According to the features and the instruction manual, the device is supposed to auto power off and on depending on if it senses your connection. I tried this, but it did not work. It would auto power off if I left the car, but when I returned, the device would remain off. Further more, the device would not power on EVEN if i manually turned it back on. It would basically just be "dead" - no response whatsoever regardless of what I did, even if I turned off my phone's bluetooth and back on, or unpaired and repaired. It seemed as long as the Roadster was listed as a pairing device in the phone, it would not work - the only way to wake it back up was to tell my phone to "forget this device" (i have an iphone), and to completely begin the pairing all over. It's not a big issue per say, since I could easily get around it by just turning it on and off manually. I just thought if this was an advertised feature, then it should work that way. Plus, for the times I forgot to manually turn the device off before leaving the car, everytime I came back I'd have to go through the tedious process of resetting the device (different from unpairing reguarly).
I thought this might've been a defect with this unit, so I went back to Bestbuy and exchanged it for another unit. This one, even worse - I didn't get the chance to try to the auto on/off because I immediately noticed another issue. With this unit I just exchanged it for, FM transmitter mode would NOT work if the battery cable was plugged in. If I unplugged the battery cable, then FM mode would work fine. I tried resetting the device to factory settings but to no avail. Since bluetooth was successfully synced, this tells me it's not a compatibility issue but a defect in the device.
It's a pity because I really think the Roadster is a great product, just marred from design or build defects.
Needless to say, I ultimately returned it for a full refund.
On the side though, when the device worked, I noticed these pros and cons:
Pros:
- Speaker volume is sufficiently loud and clear even when driving on the highway or on rough pavement. However, there's a slight "boom" if the volume is set at the highest point
- Pairing is really fast, and the voice guidance is helpful. The female voice is also not as robotic sounding as my previous T505
- Very easy to scan FM channels - allows not only auto scanning but manual selection as well (via +/- keys), which makes it easier to get a channel.
- Illuminated keys - very helpful at night
- displays battery level on your iphone
- while on the phone, people on the other end have reported pretty clear quality, albeit sounding a bit "distant"
Cons:
- Quality and potential defects I mentioned above
- I found the FM transmission quality in my old T505 to be clearer than the Roadster. The Roadster's transmission always seemed to have a little static (same channels I used as my T505 on same roads), and sometimes faded in the background or did not sound as crisp
- Status lights (i.e. paired, unpaired, audio streaming, etc.) are very tiny LEDs on the side of the unit - impossible to see while driving
