Bluetooth Information:
Hands-free mobile phone law:
California drivers should use a hands-free kit while talking on their mobile phones. In a new law that took effect July 1st, drivers are required to use their phone’s speakerphone, a hands-free kit or a Bluetooth headset while driving. First time violators will be charged a minimum of $20, while following violations will cost $50 each, but county court administrative fees and penalties could triple the fine..
Are Your Ready To Go Hands-Free?
It's obvious that drivers aren't just going to hang up and drive in California and Washington come July 1, but there are many hands-free options available for talking legally and driving. The simplest and cheapest option is to use a speakerphone if your phone has one, or a wired earpiece. But both of these options have some disadvantages. With a speakerphone, it might be hard for the person on the other end to hear you over road and wind noise, and wired earpieces can be disturbing while driving. Below are more options to consider.
Bluetooth Headsets
Bluetooth (a short-range wireless communication technology) has become widely known hands-free standard for cell phones. Probably the most popular Bluetooth choice is a headset that fits over the ear. Bluetooth headsets pair with a compatible Bluetooth phone so that calls can be answered hands-free, although most require pushing a button on the headset to answer, end or ignore a call. While not a car-specific solution, the benefit of Bluetooth headsets is that they can be used outside and inside your car.
Built-in Bluetooth
Many new cars are equipped with Bluetooth technology often controlled by the steering wheel buttons and voice activation. Many car companies, such as Dodge, have come up with their own brand names for the Bluetooth technology; Dodge and Chrysler call their Bluetooth system UConnect; Honda and Acura refer to it as Hands-Free Link
Bluetooth Kits and Portables
Aftermarket auto-specific solution is a Bluetooth "kit" that can be hard-wired into a car or used as a portable. With a hard-wired kit, you never have to worry about leaving it behind or losing power. They also typically provide more features, such as Caller ID and phonebook synchronization, but cost more and can't be moved from car to another. Check out the Parrot's 3200 LS-Color for example, which has a color LCD that can display Caller ID photos. Portable Bluetooth kits are cost efficient and have fewer features but can move from car to car. They usually plug into a cigarette lighter or run on rechargeable batteries, like the Sony Ericsson HCB-150 Bluetooth speakerphone.
Built-in Portable Navigation Units
if you plan to purchase a portable navigation system and also want Bluetooth hands-free technology, you can easily get it. Many portable navigation systems have the Bluetooth technology built in. Such units can be expensive, but you can justify the extra cost by not having to buy two separate devices. The Alpine PMD-B100 Blackbird (PMD-B100T) is a good example of a portable GPS with built-in Bluetooth.
Bluetooth Adaptors for Car Stereos
Aftermarket car audio manufacturers started providing add-on Bluetooth adapters for their head units a few years back, but many now sell radios with the technology built in. So if you are upgrading your car stereo, consider one with built-in Bluetooth capability. The Pioneer's DEH-P700BT, which can pair with up to three different phones, is a great example of that.
