Bluetooth 2.0 compliant, you can either use its built-in speaker, or you can use its digital FM transmitter to send the sound to your car radio. It can give you up to eighteen hours of talk time (up to fourteen days of standby time) and comes with a car adapter to recharge it. Simply clips to your sun visor, so there's no complicated installation and moving it to another car is a breeze!
It also cheerfully pairs up with your Bluetooth enabled music player (here's where playing it out your radio really makes a difference), and it automatically scans for the best FM station to use in your area. Audio caller ID announces the phone number so you don't have to take your eyes from the road.
This unit comes highly recommended by our customers; perhaps you should see for yourself exactly why.

Not Perfect but Close
- Pros: I bought the MOTO and my wife got a JABRA. She took hers back and now wants mine. It's the quality voice recognition (even with road noise) and the ability to take calls over an existing car stereo. No installation necessary; just clip it on to the visor next to the garage door opener. Works perfectly with my LG8350. All phone voice commands are passed through the MOTO, and the response comes back over the stereo. To make a call, just press the button on the front of the MOTO and a cool British female voice prompts for a command. For my LG8350 I just say "CALL <name>". The cool female voice announces the phone number of each incoming call. You an accept or reject any call by pressing different buttons on the MOTO. Last call redial, no problem. My phone's MP3 player can also be controlled by pressing buttons on the Moto. Play is interrupted by an incoming call, and resumes when the call is disconnected. My phone never comes out of my pocket while I'm on the road.
- Cons: It took me a couple of days to find the best FM station setting that didn't change quality on my regular commute. Now that I've got it I don't ever change it. It's just a matter of trying out the frequencies recommended by the MOTO until you find the one that works for you. One annoying feature is when the MOTO drops the FM broadcast after 10 minutes of non-use. I suppose this is a power saving tactic, but if you don't say a command and aren't using the MP3 player, the signal is dropped after 10 minutes. I don't think there is a way to disable this "feature". You can still make and take calls after the FM signal is dropped, but then only through the MOTO's internal spearker. You can easily reestablish the FM broadcast by pressing a button on the back of the MOTO.
- Other Thoughts: This is how I use the MOTO. After starting my car the first thing I do is turn on the MOTO by pressing a button on the back. After about five seconds my phone and the MOTO pair with a beep from the MOTO. I then turn on the MOTO's FM broadcast by touching a different button on the back. Next I turn on my stereo and make sure it is tuned to the right frequency. By that time the cool female voice is announcing the frequency over the stereo which assures me that all is well. Now I'm ready to issue commands to the MOTO. When I pull into the garage, I turn off the stereo, turn off the engine and then turn off the MOTO, in that order. I charge my MOTO weekly.
Most Excellent!
- Pros: Loud and clear! Nice volume to overcome road noise, even had to turn it down a couple of clicks from max. Caller sounds clear, they say I do too. One caller actually asked me where I was because there was no background noise, and that it was so quiet during our call...and I was driving around town! Easy to pair with phone. FM transmission to radio is a nice feature to share a call with the passengers. Handsome styling, compact size.
- Cons: Power on light a bit difficult to see in daylight, no problem at night.
- Other Thoughts: I've shopped and waited patiently for a hands free device that was receiving good reviews and it has all paid-off with this purchase. Quite pleased. Rock on Newegg! ccs

Moto T505
- Pros: Very loud, haven't really felt the need to use the FM transmitter, stable BT connection with the Sony Ericsson phones in the household, simple to operate, and small enough that you can leave it on the visor w/o much worry. Voice dialing also works very well except when... See Cons.
- Cons: Even though the BT connection is rarely if ever severed as far as voice transmission goes... Sometimes it seems to stop being able to transmit button presses from the device to the phone (such as to hang up or to voice dial), it's pretty random and may be the phone's fault so I'm not too worried about it.
- Other Thoughts: I was kinda skeptical about how well it'd work, but the speaker can be more than loud enough and it really does block background noise rather well.
must buy!!!
- Pros: loud speaker and the ability to connect to your fm radio
- Cons: not free
- Other Thoughts: I wish there was support for multiple phones.
- Pros: Cheap, portable, just works (no futzing with passcodes) with my (AT&T) Sony/Ericsson w580i. Announces incoming call numbers - nice touch in a sub-$100 unit.
- Cons: Like I've seen in reviews here and elsewhere, you can't get around the fact it's using the FM radio band. The sound is a bit off (and some songs get really distorted very easily, but a bit factor in that is the MP3 itself, GIGO), and sometimes the tuned station just drops (why is it always the Hispanic radio stations that do this??? - big deal just switch frequency).
- Other Thoughts: For easily under a C-note shipped it's worth it for me to not get a ticket. Now if only the idiot soccer moms in their SUVs would do the same! If you understand the limitations of a unit like this before buying, you'll have no problems, otherwise get a hard-wired unit like a Parrot, or a Bluetooth capable headunit.
