Venturi Mini - BT hands free and MP3 car kit - 39.99 @ Play RRP 79.99
£39.99
The Venturi Mini does some pretty cool things that other basic kits don't::
-Stream audio from a Bluetooth device to the Venturi Mini, which converts to FM for your radio
-It can also transmit status messages and alerts to your radio's display via RDS (including caller ID)
-Phonebook access/ctrl via the car kit's controls
-Handsfree calling, uses built in mic, and incoming audio is broadcast via FM to your car's stereo (consider the security implications of this before phoning your bank manager, mistress etc.)
-Also has charger connectivity (I think via USB out-of-the box, adapter may be necessary), and wired audio in/out
Negative's I've read, but can't confirm:
- iPhones dont work with it
- Charging is restricted to 500ma 5v(this is pretty reasonable tho and conforms to USB spec)
- The unit connects directly to cigarette lighter, and the close coupling can make fitting it a bit awkward in some cars.
It's not the newest piece of kit around, but it's well worth a punt at 39.99 - typically selling around £50 elsewhere. I've seen mostly favourable reviews.Play.Com Vouchers: £1 - PLACRIB09, £3.00 - IMAGINE, 1.00 - LEE, 10% - PLAYHEAT09, £5 off 50.00 - PLARBS09More

No - I don't think it will auto-tune. Probably best that way - if you were sitting in traffic and your little receiver sent out an RDS Traffic Announcement, everyone around you would most likely end up listening to your phone call
 You just preset the unit to a frequency that seems empty in your area, and store that on your car hifi, so when a call comes in you have to switch to that FM preset station. You can then decide if you want to answer the call or not. |
