The use of mobile phones while driving is increasingly seen as dangerous and indeed some states have enacted laws banning the practice. While some enforce a total ban, others allow the use of hands-free devices. If you live in one of the latter jurisdictions, you can use an IOGear GBHFK231 Solar Bluetooth Car Kit.
The kit is a wireless speakerphone that uses Bluetooth technology to connect with your cell phone. It is compliant with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR thus providing quick pairings and strong signals. Indeed, it can pick up a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone’s signal from as far as 30 feet. This means that you can leave your phone at the back of your RV, mount the kit on the windshield near the driver’s seat, and take calls while you are driving.
Owing to its multi-point connection capability, you can pair the kit with two mobile phones, and answer whichever of them rings. Audio quality is excellent with its echo cancellation and noise reduction features. Easy-to-use volume and mute buttons are incorporated with the kit.
A vehicle and a micro-USB cable charger comes with the Bluetooth car kit. With a single charge you are assured of up to 13 hours of talk time. In case you are on an extended drive, an integrated solar panel will also help recharge it.
Two mounting brackets and four suction cups for sun visor or windshield attachment are included with the kit. It is advised, however, that you verify the laws and ordinances in your locality regarding the mounting of any device on your car’s windshield.
