In our fast-paced world, being in touch all the time is not only convenient, but also practical. But what to do when it is physically impossible to use the phone? Often this question is asked by drivers who are driving their car. After all, talking on a mobile phone and driving a car at the same time is not always comfortable, and sometimes very dangerous. At the moment, the solution to this problem was the speakerphone in the car. The use of this type of gadgets greatly facilitates driving while talking, does not affect safety, and besides, this pleasure is quite accessible to everyone.
Voice communication types
It is worth noting that many modern cars already come with built-in speakerphone systems from the factory, which are controlled by buttons either on the steering wheel or on the center console.
But if the car is not equipped with such functionality, you can do it yourself.
There are several different ways to install this type of electronic assistance in the interior of your car, using both professional and auxiliary devices for this. How to make a speakerphone in the car on your own and without much effort? Motorists will find this information in this material.
The easiest way
You can provide hands-free communication in the car by connecting your mobile to the car radio with an additional microphone installation, or you need to purchase a device specially designed for this. You can buy this device at an audio equipment store. It is a small signal receiver that works directly in tandem with the phone via a Bluetooth connection. How to talk in the car through the speakerphone in this way? You just need to set up the receiver, which is done within a few minutes.
hands free
As an alternative to such a device, you can use the hands-free gadget, which is attached with a built-in clothespin either to clothes or directly to the steering wheel. In this case, during the conversation, complete freedom of hands is provided.
The advantages of these communication methods include ease of equipment, installation and configuration, as well as low cost. You have the ability to connect various models of Bluetooth-enabled phones in this way.
How to connect to radio
Mounting and connecting a communication headset in a car is quite simple, and any driver, even without technical knowledge, will cope with this task. Let's take a closer look at the process of how to install a speakerphone in a car through a radio and a mobile phone.
For this method, you will need a Bluetooth-enabled tape recorder, as well as a microphone with the ability to connect to the receiver.
Further, the whole process is carried out according to the specified sequence. We install a radio in the car. If one already exists, then half the battle is done. We fix the microphone on the sun visor or in another convenient place, but preferably on the driver's side, and connect it to the radio. The system is installed. It remains to set up: we include Bluetooth in the work both on the mobile and on the tape recorder. Next, we start searching for a paired device, connect - you can use it.
Special headset and accessories:
- The first and most accessible device is the in-ear headset. Quite a convenient device that can be used even outside the car. Many models are equipped with buttons for answering and rejecting calls, as well as a volume control.
- The second device is a speakerphone in the car through a speakerphone. Externally, the headset resembles the phone itself, but only works as a transmitter. The speakerphone is powered both autonomously and from the car's cigarette lighter socket.
- The third type of device is gadgets with the Bluetooth function. To a greater extent, they are intended for stationary installation in a car. You can fix such a gadget in any convenient place in the cabin, and it will work as a transmitter and as a hands-free microphone in the car.
- "Hands-free"-sets. These are multifunctional devices that can be used both as a communication device and for reading various multimedia files from the phone. The kit is equipped with various holders for easy installation in a car, a charger powered by a cigarette lighter plug. Expensive models may have connectors for connecting USB and memory cards.
Jabra Drive speakerphone
This is a popular gadget not only among motorists. This device works as a speakerphone in the car via Bluetooth and has excellent sound characteristics. In appearance, the device is quite overall - 104x56x18 mm, it weighs 100 grams.
The design of the gadget is quite attractive and will easily fit into the interior of any car. Its fastening is made in the form of a metal bracket, so it can be easily fixed in the cabin.
Most of the front side of the case is occupied by a speaker for negotiations, protected by a black mesh. Along the way, it works as a button for receiving and rejecting calls. Above the speaker button is a receiving microphone, as well as a volume control.
Device in operation
When launched, it automatically searches for a mobile phone to connect to via Bluetooth. Therefore, before connecting the speakerphone in the car, you need to make sure that the phone is paired with the device.
It is very convenient to talk on the device, since the quality of the transmitted sound signal is no different from the hands-free devices built into the car. The sound is clear, without interference, and the volume is enough even for listening to music files.
The microphone is equipped with an echo and noise reduction system. Therefore, the interlocutor does not even notice that the conversation is taking place on the speakerphone.
Without recharging, the “gill” works twenty hours in talk mode, and in “sleep” mode, the charge lasts for one month. If the device is not used for thirty minutes, it will automatically turn off, thereby saving energy. You just need to restart it, and you can use it further. In this case, all settings are saved automatically. Additionally, the gadget is equipped with the A2D2 stereo protocol, which allows the transfer of music files, and also has EDR support.
Advantages and disadvantages
The pluses include: external data, sound quality, convenient mounting, ease of use, powerful battery. The disadvantages of the device are not particularly noticeable, but still they are. This is insufficient functionality, automatic shutdown during prolonged non-use, high price.
Plantronics K100 In-Car Bluetooth
Speakerphone in the car can be provided using this device, which has proven itself as a convenient, reliable and practical device. K100 has simple controls. The design provides only three buttons and a volume control.
The buttons here are as follows: for receiving-resetting a call, turning on the radio and turning off the sound completely. The device is equipped with a dual-action microphone, which, in turn, eliminates noise and interference, transmits voice without distortion.
This completes all the settings, except for the selection of sound parameters.
The radio function is configured by pressing the corresponding button, and if desired, the radio wave signal can be transmitted to the car radio. To do this, it is enough to tune the tape recorder to the appropriate wave and the signal from the K100 will be broadcast through the car's audio system.
An autonomous charge is enough for fourteen hours of talk time.
In standby mode, the device works for fifteen days. The battery can be charged both from the car and from a computer via a USB cable. Thanks to the presence of AD2P, the device supports voice commands for GPS navigation.
Speakerphone selection options
Due to the large availability of devices in the car market, it is quite difficult for motorists to choose a device that will meet all the requirements and perform its functions properly. Therefore, when choosing one, it is recommended to pay attention to factors such as:
- Manufacturer. Handsfree in the car can only be provided with a high-quality speakerphone. To do this, when choosing, you should pay attention to the country in which the device is manufactured. It is important to note that Chinese gadgets do not have sufficient reliability and durability due to the use of low-quality materials.
- Battery capacity. It should be large enough not to bother yourself with frequent charging processes.
- Fasteners. This element must be reliable and convenient, otherwise the device may simply fall off.
- Mandatory availability of the ability to charge the device from the cigarette lighter socket, which is more convenient than constantly removing the device and charging from other sources.
- The presence of the Russian language in the settings and use menu.
- Price. As you know, a miser pays twice. Therefore, it is recommended to immediately purchase a more expensive speakerphone of good quality and use it for a long time, rather than buying a new one from time to time.
So, we figured out how to set up a speakerphone in the car.
Car electronics are developing and now the presence of the Bluetooth function in the radio is no longer a whim, but quite an acceptable wish. This eliminates the need for discs and flash drives, because music can be played directly from your smartphone. In addition, this way you can receive calls while driving.
Although about the calls there is one caveat. If you often drive alone in a car and do not want to publicize your telephone conversations, it is better to use a regular bluetooth headset than to shout at the whole salon.
In general, if you want to connect your smartphone to the Partner Blast multimedia speaker via Bluetooth, you will not need to do much.
1. Set your phone's visibility
First, make sure that the bluetooth on your smartphone is not only turned on, but also correctly configured. The correct settings include an open visibility mode so that the device is displayed in the search. If you have an Android smartphone, disable the discovery timeout so that there are no problems during the pairing process with the car.
2. Turn on Bluetooth in the car
Individual tuning features depend on the brand of the car and if you have insurmountable difficulties, you need to look at the manufacturer's website, which usually contains all the necessary information. In general, the process is not difficult.
For Nissan cars, you need to press Menu on the radio, wait for the inscription PHONE SETUP and press Enter. Then scroll the volume control until PAIR PHONE appears and press Enter again. The inscription READY TO PAIR will mean that the equipment is ready for docking.
In Renault cars, after turning on the radio, it must be configured to work with the phone by pressing the Tel. Check if Bluetooth is enabled and you can proceed to connect the device.
In any case, before pairing, you need to make sure that both devices are connected and visible, and only then proceed to the main procedure.
3. Pair devices
Start searching for devices on your phone. The radio is displayed as "My Car", but can also be called "My Radio". When you click on the device, you will be asked to enter a pairing code. It is the same everywhere, 1234. Check that the code on the radio display matches the code on the phone. Connection completed.
Please note that not all phones allow full use of Bluetooth capabilities. Some models are simply not fully compatible with cars.
The Hands free system (free hands) is installed on almost all cars that are produced today. It allows you to make, receive calls and talk on the phone hands-free.
Connection
The device connects to the car using a Bluetooth connection and the connection itself should not be difficult. It looks something like this:
- Select in the multimedia system to add a new Bluetooth device
- Turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone and select your car from the list of found ones
- Enter the pin code (usually "0000") which is indicated on the screen of the car's multimedia system
- The connection is completed, you can make and receive calls using the steering wheel controls.
How to set up playback of calls only through the Hands free system
After you connect your smartphone to the car's Bluetooth, all calls and sounds will be transferred to multimedia. In this case, if you run, for example, a youtube video on your phone, the sound will go to the speakers in the car, or there will be no sound at all. The same situation is with any other application, for example, with Yandex.Navigator.
To leave all sounds except calls on your smartphone, you need to disable the A2DP protocol. This is disabled on the phone, in the Bluetooth section of the currently connected device.
Here you can turn off the transfer of contacts. Then, when making a call, only the number of the caller will be displayed on the display of the multimedia system.
Screenshots from the Android system are presented, in iOS it is configured similarly, only the location of the menu items differs.
Functionality in Android 8
In the new version of the "green robot" added the ability to choose which device will play the sounds from the phone. 
Now, if the phone is connected to the car's audio system via Bluetooth and the A2DP profile is enabled, the Audio output item appears in the quick menu (swipe down). Now you do not need to go into the settings to disable or enable A2DP. However, it is worth considering that by default there will always be playback using the car's multimedia.
When driving a car, there are two things that the driver uses regularly: listening to music, talking on the phone. At the same time, making calls while holding the receiver to your ear is prohibited at the legislative level, and switching tunes on the radio or searching for a radio wave distracts the driver from driving the car quite a lot, which can lead to accidents. To solve these problems, you can install Bluetoothadapter for car.
Using Hands Free
In order to call back on a mobile phone or receive a call, of course, you can use a Hands Free device, which also works using Bluetooth technology.
In this case, the driver may experience several inconveniences:
- with an incoming call, without being distracted by a cell phone, there is no way to find out who exactly is calling (there are, of course, phones that can voice information about the incoming subscriber, but this function is not implemented in all mobile phones);
- will not be reduced, and if it sounds quite loud, the driver will definitely have to manually reduce it;
- some Hands Free devices are not made of very high quality, which can affect the pressing of the call, and also with poor-quality fastening, it can even fall when you move your head.
Using the Bluetooth speakerphone
Many car enthusiasts install a speakerphone in order to be able to receive calls without problems, increase (decrease) the volume. This device also works via Bluetooth wireless technology. It is placed either near the cigarette lighter so that uninterruptible power is connected to it, or near the sun visor. Still, the second method is more acceptable, because the driver again does not have to look down and constantly control the roadway. However, you should not forget about recharging it.
However, this device is not able to solve some problems that are similar to Hands Free, namely:
- the subscriber who is trying to get through will be unknown;
- the volume of the car radio will have to be screwed up if it sounds quite loud;
- outgoing call is made only with the help of a mobile phone.
Hands Free and Bluetooth speakerphones are similar in their functionality, however, they do not satisfy some motorists due to the above disadvantages.
Installing the Bluetooth module
This solution will allow solving a number of tasks that cannot be solved by any other additional devices. And although the installation itself can cause certain difficulties, the driver will clearly appreciate all the advantages of this device.
The Bluetooth module is connected directly to the car radio. At the same time, before purchasing, ask if this device is compatible with the radio. The fact is that most motorists use car radios that were equipped directly by the factory, and they may not be a completely new model and the ability to connect to other devices will not be available.
After installation, the panel will display a digital display, remote control or keyboard, with which you can receive information and control connected devices. Now the driver can easily understand who is calling him directly. When making a call, the sound of the car radio will automatically decrease to the optimal level. The other party's voice will come directly from the audio system. But many drivers say that such a connection is not always acceptable, because it is impossible to ensure the confidentiality of the call and all passengers will hear the dialogue.
Due to the fact that most models have RSAP, SIM card data and other settings, such as the GSM module, of the smartphone are copied, and all the functions of the mobile phone are already performed by the Bluetooth module, and the mobile device goes into standby mode, which contributes to significant battery savings .
When choosing a Bluetooth module model, you should immediately pay attention to the compatibility of the model with your phone and the installed car radio. If you do not speak English well, select the model that has a Russian-language interface, moreover, this will automatically discard the question of whether contacts and entries in Cyrillic will be displayed correctly.
You should not pay attention to rather cheap models, it is better to overpay, but be able to update the device to the latest versions. Technologies are improving every year and without flashing and updates, the Bluetooth module without updates will quickly become obsolete and the motorist will have to replace it with a newer model.
This device has the most stable signal. It connects via audio or USB connector. According to the principle of operation, the Bluetooth AUX adapter resembles an adapter that provides direct connection between the radio and mobile devices. Now the driver will be able to turn on the music that is located on the phone or tablet, as well as the exchange of information between several devices that support Bluetooth technology.
But when connecting and using a Bluetooth AUX adapter, you need to take into account the fact that the connector will be constantly busy. And the cost of such a device is quite high.
conclusions
The use of any Bluetooth wireless technology will provide the driver with a comfortable ride. The connection will actually always be stable and uninterrupted, because there are no walls and barriers in the car interior that would extinguish the signal. The choice depends only on the motorist himself, as well as on his financial capabilities. It is not always possible to install a Bluetooth module, which is more like a full-fledged computer capable of performing many tasks. But at the same time, you can use other wireless devices that will provide comfort, as well as help to avoid getting into emergency situations.
A bluetooth adapter for a car is a means of communication between gadgets. It is very convenient to use while driving. Bluetooth technology allows the driver to communicate on a mobile phone and not hold it in his hands while talking. From a security point of view, the adapter is a useful device.
