Sony Ericsson HCB-30
THE HCB-30 needs to be installed into the vehicle as it operates through the car's stereo speakers, but this should take no longer than 20 minutes, the firm claims.
As the kit is installed, standard talk time or standby times do not apply.
The car kit can be used with any Bluetooth-enabled phone and comes with an electronics box, microphone, control panel, standard music mute and power cables.
Once installed, the car stereo automatically mutes when a call comes in and the call is heard through the speakers. A five-button control panel enables users to activate the phone, control volume and answer or reject calls.
