Hands-free blue tooth for you car.

**02cetransam** · 03-03-2010, 04:27 PM

Now that driving while talking on a cell phone is illegal, I was looking to buy a hands-free blue tooth car kit. I think I would prefer something that clips onto my visor rather than wearing a headset. Just wondering what you guys use? Any suggestions??

Thanks

I am thinking about selling my Alpine 9887, it has bluetooth.

I know Motorola has a unit that clips on your visor. You sync it with your Bluetooth equipped phone, but I cannot remember if you have to have a Motorola phone. I am debating that unit or the Bluetooth kit from Holden that is specifically made for my car.

I know there is a kit available for GM vehicles equipped with on-star. I believe its called galaxy 100 but its over $250 plus I wouldn't be able to transfer it to other vehicles such as the trans am.

I was looking for something that is portable. Thanks though.

That's the one I am considering. My car is an M6 and there are times where I get calls from friends and my folks. Better to be safe than sorry IMO.

There's also a monthly fee for the On-Star service.

A lot of navigation units are now including bluetooth for phones if you don't already have one.

I recently got a bluetooth headset from Walmart for about $35. Thing is great. I use it alot more than I thought I would.

I don't know what that is. Mine is a Motorolla. I had a different one in the past that was a pita to use. I like this one tho.

Clips on sun visor. Model #BTSLBC3.

Doubtful. I have a Motorola Bluetooth ear piece that communicates with my Sanyo S1 phone.
