 This is the bluetooth device you were looking for! March 27, 2008

I recently bought a 2008 Cadillac CTS. It is the best car I have driven to date, but the biggest problem it has is that all vehicles manufactured prior to April 2008 have no bluetooth. This is the first car I have owned without bluetooth installed since the technology first became available. Since I run a business and constantly use the phone in my car, I scrambled to find the perfect device.
Right now the two most popular BT devices are the Blueant Supertooth Light and the Motorola T505. It was a tough choice which way to go but I chose the Motorola because it had FM transmitting capability.
The one thing that is misleading about the pictures depicted of this device on Amazon is its size. I was amazed to see just how small the T505 is. It comes with a very strong clip that secures itself on the visor, and it easily slides on and off whenever you need to remove the T505 for charging purposes.
The included car charger is worthless for most because who wants that cord dangling from the visor? What is visibly absent here is a wall charger. I can't really get upset about this as it does have a USB socket that allows you to plug your device in your computer's USB port for charging.
Pairing was easy. Hold the Power button down for a few seconds (you may have to press PLAY as well) and the T505 goes into pairing mode. My iPhone immediately recognized the device and once you type in 0000 you are instantly paired. No need to pair the phone each time you enter the vehicle.
For best results make sure the bluetooth volume is all the way up on your phone. This will provide the loudest results from the built-in T505 speakerphone.
My first call came today while I was driving. A british voice announced the incoming phone number. I simply pressed the front PLAY button and the call was connected. Speakerphone was crisp and loud. It was pretty incredible as far as the overall voice quality. People sitting in the back seat would have no problem hearing or joining in the conversation. The caller said I sounded great on his end and would never have guessed that I was talking on a speakerphone.
Press the FM locator button on the back of the unit and a British voice will announce a vacant FM channel that is available for you to tune and have your call directed to. Directing the call to FM produced a rather good quality call though slightly fuzzy.
I would not hesitate to recommend this device to anyone looking for the most ideal bluetooth solution for their vehicle. For portable hands-free bluetooth, this is about as good as it gets.
EXCELLENT April 11, 2008

This product is great. Crystal clear sound through the built in speaker and through the FM channel. This was also the easiest Bluetooth device that I have ever had to "pair". I just put my phone in discovery mode and that was it. I didn"t even have to type in the generic 0000 "pairing passcode" that seems to be needed for EVERY Bluetooth device in the world. I highly recommend this product.
best incar blutooth speakerphone so far April 30, 2008

I have used many bluetooth earphones. Although many of them sound Ok but the most common problem is that the person at the other end can't hear you well. My two GPS devices also have bluetooth capability for cell phones but with the same problem: the other person can't hear you well. The Motorokr T505 solved that problem. People at the other end can not tell the difference whether I am using the cellphone (Motorola V9 with ATT, a great sounding phone)or the speakerphone. The sound coming out of this device is loud enough and very clear. Cliped on the sunvisor, you are totally handsfree and "ear-free" so you dont have to take it off your ear to listen to music when not on the phone. Turning it on and off is easy, and very easy to use in general. I have no comments on the battery life yet since I dont chat for too long in the car. But I find charging it in the car is easy. I use it exclusively in the car where this device is supposed to be. I use a bluetooth earphone outside the car. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to use it in the car.
Drop what you're doing and buy this. June 21, 2008

This device provided one of those rare occassions where something went better than expected. The hardest thing about this item is getting it out of the packaging, which is like breaking into Fort Knox. However, once I had it out, I had made my first phone call and listened to my first mp3 through my car speakers in well under 5 minutes. The person I called could not tell that I was on a speakerphone and I could hear her even when I was talking. As far as listening to music, the sound quality is WAY better than I expected considering it uses FM frequencies. I couldn't tell the difference between it and CDs, the bass was still booming and everything was crisp and static-free. FYI, the device I used was a Samsung bluetooth phone (t819).
Best bluetooth gadget yet! March 20, 2008

No point in describing the features since one of the first reviewers did that. All I can say is the FM transmitter is very very clear and I'm in a fairly big town...Staten Island, NY...I am told to tune to 89.1FM every time. The sound is incredibly clear thru my VW Touareg's speaker system. I am using a Motorola Razr V9 thru AT&T.
I was a little confused in the beginning using the FM transmitter though, not in receiving the calls but in sending. I was wondering why I'd try to dial on my Razr and I couldn't hear a thing. Turns out that you have to tune to the FM station that you are told to set your transmitter to and then you can dial out. I didn't realize that.
When you receive a call, you don't have to be tuned to the channel. The call is announced whether I'm listening to a CD or another FM station. Haven't used it yet with my iPod running so I'm clueless as to how it would work.
I used an MV900 speaker box before this which worked very well, but it didn't have an FM transmitter. I prefer the T505 over every other gadget I've tried, short of hardwiring a device thru my NAV system.
