Should be comfortable with basic automobile electrical systems for installation. Good price on amazon. Easy to use, voice commands. This model is much better than their earlier cheaper version. I've installed one in each of our two cars and bought this one for my daughter. I used the included speaker, which is easier than buying a harness and routing through the radio audio.
The Motorola Bluetooth Car Kit is the best accessory I have bought for my cell phone.
So far synch time varies from a few seconds to up to 20 seconds. This product is also small so it fits great just about anywhere in your car.Pros: * Easy to use. * If you are near your car and not in your car but your car is running then the Kit may be on and then if someone calls it will go through your car. * There is an option to turn off notifications like when it synchs with your phone, I'm just waiting until I get used to how long it takes to synch before I turn the notifications off. * Voice commands really works well. But most of the time it's very fast. When I first got this system I figured that was plenty but it turns out that Motorola really needs to add more slots.
* There are only 20 memory slots for numbers. Sure there may be some numbers of people that you only call once in a while but it's nice to put them in there, especially because when they call you it will say their name and not the phone number they are dialing from.And these are cons for any hands free kit you may want to consider: * The volume is not controlled through the car radio, so you will have to use the buttons on the right to adjust the volume. * For the most part this device really understands your voice commands. It's very easy to use, just a few simple buttons and the use of the voice commands and you're set. * Easy to hear others through the speakers in your car. And the more you use it the better it goes.
* I really like the blue glow at night.Cons: * Sometimes when you do a number dial the system acts dyslexic. * If you have a factory installed navigation like mine then it will talk over your conversation if you are using both at the same time. I've had the Motorola IHF1000 now for almost a month and so far it's great. * So far it appears that no one can tell that I'm using this device and those I have told say that they hear me well. But once you learn that as you say the numbers you can simply say "no" to reject the last section of numbers.
Even with the convertible top down you can still hear the calls quite clearly and those to whom I am speaking can hardly tell, there is very little wind noise. This thing is great. I give this product my highest recommendation. We had it installed by Best Buy. It was about $100 to install in my Saab convertible and they did an excellent job. Very easy to program and use.
This is not Amazon's fault. In the case of my Jag i n need three more harness' and the additional cost is $196 for the wiring. I recommend that you contact your installer prior to purchase and ask if he has installed the device in you particular make and model, in the configuration you intend Amazon had the best price for this product and it was delivered quickly. What the Motorola product information dosent explain is that for many, many cars, like my 2004 XJ8, is that for the device to operate as described through the factory sound system, additional wiring harness' are required. I got lucky and found a good vendor for the needed stuff.
