* Easy to hear others through the speakers in your car. But most of the time it's very fast. This product is also small so it fits great just about anywhere in your car.Pros: * Easy to use. * 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. I've had the Motorola IHF1000 now for almost a month and so far it's great.
* 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. 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. So far synch time varies from a few seconds to up to 20 seconds. When I first got this system I figured that was plenty but it turns out that Motorola really needs to add more slots. * For the most part this device really understands your voice commands. * There are only 20 memory slots for numbers. * 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.
It's very easy to use, just a few simple buttons and the use of the voice commands and you're set. * I really like the blue glow at night.Cons: * Sometimes when you do a number dial the system acts dyslexic. * 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. * Voice commands really works well. And the more you use it the better it goes.
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. We had it installed by Best Buy. I give this product my highest recommendation. Very easy to program and use. It was about $100 to install in my Saab convertible and they did an excellent job. This thing is great.
This is not Amazon's fault. Amazon had the best price for this product and it was delivered quickly. 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 I got lucky and found a good vendor for the needed stuff. 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. In the case of my Jag i n need three more harness' and the additional cost is $196 for the wiring.
Otherwise, this device is wonderful and well worth the money. Also, you must be sure to say the numbers clearly or the system will get confused an say the wrong numbers. The only thing that I had issues with is if your car radio does not have the mute wire built in you must use the speaker.
I had purchased this online and had it installed at Best Buy. THe voice on the system is clear and easily heard. Awsome device.
THe speaker is nice and loud even with the windows open. Great job Moto. They did a great job installing it.
The device is fantastic.
I purchased a wiring harness that allowed me to plug in directly into my stereo. This unit works great. I will be buying one for my girlfriend it works so well. The unit mutes the stereo and plays the audio over the truck speakers. Is much better than having to worry about the batteries in an earpeice. I did not use the speaker that it comes with.
