Avantree 10BS AUTO POWER ON Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit with Motion Sensor for Hands-Free Call, Support GPS, Music, Wireless In Car Visor Speakerphone Kits for iPhone, Samsung

This was my first review. Mea Culpa. I got it wrong, so my new and improved review follows this..."The thing is very difficult to get working in my car. It answers the incoming call fine, but outgoing calls just won’t connect. It says “Having difficulty connecting, please try again later”If I try it in the house it works fine, if I put it in the car it won’t work. Even if the car is stationary or moving.So it’s great for receiving calls but won’t send them."When at first I thought there was something wrong because once in the car, it would not connect I was a bit curious. It worked in the house, but not in the car. Very strange. Then I remembered that on the iPhone, the Bluetooth transmission and control of other similar devices like Music players won't work unless WiFi is also available. I think it's an iPhone thing maybe? Anyway, I enabled Mobile Data along with the Bluetooth, and Presto Bumpo, it worked. Of course, I had used up my phone data allowance so had to wait a week. Meantime I'd been in touch with Support who were very helpful and also determined to track down the "Unable to connect, please try again later" message.Paid for more data on my phone plan and as I said, it now works perfectly. My wife who uses the car to get to and from work can now stay in touch and everyone is happy. As it's a Christmas present for her, I'm also happy. Very.The gadget is small, light easily fits on the sun visor, but could be mounted anywhere convenient really and super easy to use. Push the button, wait for the phone to respond, usually about a second and it even interrupts the music while in use. Really useful device. Doesn't require you to take your eyes off the road even for a second. The Call Button is large and easy to feel. Love it.

Bought as a gift and was concerned about sound given some other reviews. As someone who uses built in car Bluetooth while travelling it was always difficult to hear my GF who would be using loudspeaker or hands free while in her car. Not anymore!The sound is not like that from built in hands free kits but it is perfectly adequate as an alternative solution at a fraction of the cost.Easy pairing process. Incredible battery life. Sleek and low profile design, hardly noticeable once fitted but gives off good enough sound to have a flowing conversation despite normal road and motorway noise.

This is a great piece of kit. The sound quality is excellent with no discernible buzz or hiss. Volume control is wide, whilst at the top end I am amazed at the quality and clarity of sound. The unit is light such that placing on the cars sun shade does not bend or put undue weight on it, though depending on the car it can be a bit in your face. Of course it could be just placed on the other seat or somewhere else convenient as the bluetooth connection is strong. The buttons for its operation are of a decent size such that large fingers will have no problem operating them. Overall it is compact and bijou.The initial setup was somewhat easy as described within the manual, though I had to retrace a couple of steps to verify just what I had done and to ensure just what the lights were telling me, but thats down to me. Battery once inserted took a charge and was completed within an hour, will be interesting to note just how long a charge will last.A thought. Perhaps a set of velcro stickers to allow for placing the unit in a different position?Thoroughly recommend this piece of handsfree phone kit, it does what it says, receives and makes a call at the click of a button with exceptional clarity.

Looks well made, fits very neatly onto the sun shade, connects seamlessly with an iPhone works well & is easy to use.One press activates Siri on your iPhone (if the phone is switched on), enabling voice activation (just wait a couple of seconds for it to connect with the phone). Voice clarity is very good both in the car and for the caller. It can also play music from your iPhone but the speaker whilst good for voice is not quite so good for music.The automatic on-off function is very handy but the range is exceptional so if you are going to be in range of your car then you may need to turn it off manually. Just hold the button down for 4 seconds.

Works well, just a few things that could be better.1) even at max volume it's a bit quiet2) the Bluetooth signal is ridiculously strong, I'm still connected in the house with the car parked on the street outside, and a garden inbetween. Battery would last longer if it was restricted to the few feet you need in a car.3) if you get in the car and aren't connected to it via Bluetooth it starts flashing all different colours to tell you it isn't connected and then switches off after a while only to then detect movement and start flashing all over again.This is very distracting, especially at night.Maybe due to reasons 2 and 3 it might be worth considering getting one without the auto-on motion detection.Might be a fault with mine but when the iPhone says the Avantree's battery is at about 40% it stops working, this is about 10/11 days after being fully charged and with little actual use.

This is a very good product for the following reasons:1/. Price, great.2/. Speed of service Good.3/. So easy to set up, paired with two phones in less than two minutes.4/. Sound quality great clear even with window open.5/. Noise cancelling system is Amazing when in any call people could not hear any background sounds.6/. Love the auto on feature as this stops our car radio pairing with our phones thus we are still able to listen to music while in a call.So for me 6 good reasions to purchase this Bluetooth cat kit, fit and forget; the only thing you have to do is give it a charge when it tells you.And in my wifes Smart car it means both our phone are linked and having the device placed in the centre, it will work for both driver and passenger.Many thanks Avantree.
