Which Car Kit Should You Fit?

What are the benefits of a professional quality hands free car kit?

By professional quality, we mean a kit that needs to be installed into the car electrics, so that it uses your audio speakers and overrides the car stereo when you receive a call.

Although these kits are more expensive that visor mounted car kits, or ear piece kits, and you need to add the cost of the fitting and installation, when you compare this to the cost of your car, and that you have an integrated solution that is not reliant on battery power, the costs are relatively small.

So which kit should you choose? The first consideration is compatibility with your car (most kits will fit most cars) and also with your mobile, or mobiles if you have more than one phone in the family. Again most Bluetooth enabled kits are compatible with most Bluetooth enabled phones.

Feature sets are often very similar and will often mirror the capabilities of your mobile.

The quality of the call and the noise reduction can vary between car kits and manufacturers, but apart from this you should select the style of the control module and how it will fit in your car.

Two recent additions to the market are the Motorola IHF1000 and the Parrot MKi9000, both offering a range of features for under £100 plus installation.
