I am looking to purchase something like this for my truck, mostly out of need for some sort of hands free calling ability ( I drive for a living , and 90% of the places I go it is illegal to use hand held devices)

Ebay ads not allowed on DTR

I have tried different ear pieces ( motorola and blackberry brands), I found them uncomfortable and either hard to hear , or hard to be heard. I have driven a couple different vehicles with factory bluetooth radios and liked them very much, I would just like to hear from people who have installed an aftermarket system and are happy with its functionality.


TIA

 

I bought a Kenwwood bluetooth radio from Cruthfied......works well......my friend bought a stand alone bluetooth unit from Blue Ant I believe is the name.....clips to your visor.....workes well.

 

Seriously? might as well delete this whole thread, its pretty well useless without the ad as a reference for what I want to buy ( not sell...)

 

The manufacturer doesn't have a picture on their website you can paste into this thread?

 

I have BlueAnt and Motorola Bluetooth modules. Both work very well. The audio quality is a little better with the BlueAnt though.

The bluant works well.

My blackberry picks up the engine noise I am told.

 

For what its worth, the jawbone is a good unit.

Apparently the actual talk/standby time can vary, but the sound quality is crystal clear.

I second Jawbone...

 

course I was a little scared to look at this page fearing a pic of some ugly growth on a body part

 

I've experimented with the PlayStation 3 bluetooth earphone connectedt to a smartphone, and it works reasonably well but I haven't tried it in either of my trucks.
