I t had to happen sooner or later. With cell phone-related accidents on the rise – and many states banning the use of phones while driving altogether – it was just a matter of time before technology found a better way for folks to communicate from their cars. Enter Bluetooth®, the same technology that's been powering wireless cell phone headsets for years. Turns out, Bluetooth's digital communications protocol is the perfect solution for the car, offering drivers the convenience of hands-free calling without sacrificing sound quality or reception.

"I think the biggest attraction [of Bluetooth in the car] is that it makes it much easier to hold a conversation while you're driving," says Scott Neill, National Product Trainer with Alpine, which offers a Bluetooth interface add-on for all of its 2006-up car stereos. "Those of us that live in L.A. spend a minimum of two hours in our cars every day. So you can actually stay in communication and get things done while you're commuting, and do it in a much easier manner."

And talk about easy. Once you have a Bluetooth interface installed and set up, there's very little else you have to do to place and receive wireless calls. Your Bluetooth-compatible phone will even automatically connect to the system every time you get in the car. With Bluetooth, your audio system becomes in a sense like a giant speakerphone, allowing you to leave your cell phone in your bag or toss it in the glove box and manage calls remotely.

In fact, depending on the type of interface and phone you have, you may even be able to download your phone book into your radio for one-touch dialing and use nifty options like auto answer and voice dial.

Bluetooth connections are starting to show up as factory options on a number of vehicle makes and can be added onto just about any new aftermarket car stereo. For more information about ways that Bluetooth technology is hitting the road visit Bluetooth.org.

Bluetooth: Hands-Free Calling

Hands-free calling while driving is required by law in some states. Besides dialing, it'll free up your hands for other things as well, like signaling and steering.
