bluetooth radios

[log on tommy]

just wondering if anyone has got any Bluetooth radios they would recommend. I want to be able to make phone calls from the tractor cab a bit safer, I know parrot are good bolt on units but they're also a bit pricey. If anyone has any experience or advice it'll be gratefully received.

 

cheers

Hi Tom, I shelled out on a pioneer Sph da 120 for the jeep as its double din. The Bluetooth hand free is spot on.

 

I'll certainly be fitting something with Bluetooth hand free into the Volvo l70 in a few weeks.

 

I had a parrot kit in my second last vehicle and it would often disconnect : I found the Nokia system better; but car radio systems seem to tick all the boxes!

To be totally honest the "car play" feature is over rated. I was going to buy an Alpine digital radio unit for half the price.

 

My only advice is to buy a unit that comes with an external mic. You might be better buying a digital radio, but just check that it also has FM radio, some do.

 

In the past i always had to faff with cutting and crimping all those leads. Being able to get the right connectors makes figment a virtual plug and play.

 

I never knew there was a different aerial plug and had to buy an adapter for the aerial.

We got a few bluetooth radios from Lidl/aldi for less than €50.00 each they are great in the vans, built in mic but connect up easily to the phone and will reconnect every time you comeback to the van as long as bluetooth is switched on in the phone. has separate volume for radio and phone. cheap fix and legal when driving.
