Have a Bluetooth Car Kit Fitted If Your Daily Driver Doesn’t Have an Integrated System
Nowadays, more vehicles are being offered as standard with an integrated Bluetooth car kit, whereby you can connect your phone to the vehicle’s radio and multimedia system so that you can take phone calls without having to touch your cellphone. In any event, handling your cellphone is illegal when behind the wheel, even when you are stopped at a red light or even next to the road with your engine running. Unless you are legally parked and your vehicle’s engine is switched off, you need a Bluetooth car kit to use your phone in your vehicle.
Not Only Illegal – Also Risky
Of course, there are many good reasons why handling your phone in your vehicle is illegal and why you should have that Bluetooth car kit fitted. Just like eating a burger or holding a cigarette, a cellphone is a distraction while driving, even more so than the previous two examples, because eating and smoking can still be done absentmindedly – talking on the phone requires you to concentrate on the conversation and takes away even more of your attention from the road. More reason then, to keep both hands on the wheel and the other controls and only focus on talking while behind the wheel.
Many Models Available
A vast variety of Bluetooth car kits is available nowadays, from the lowest prices, so there is really no reason to risk going without one anymore. That fine for holding your phone could have paid for the installation of such a system! It doesn’t have to be a fancy system either. At Electronic Fitment Centre, we fit Parrot systems because they are so well regarded in the industry and because a wide variety of models are available at many price points. The simplest and most affordable ones allow you to simply take calls and they don’t even have a display.
Intermediate models add displays and there are even kits available to integrate the system with your existing steering-wheel control buttons. If you have a double-DIN slot in your dashboard and want to go the whole hog, the Parrot Asteroid Smart is a 6,2-inch full-colour touch-screen Bluetooth car kit, music amplifier, and Android app-enabled multimedia system, all in one. Ideal for the discerning buyer wanting more than just a Bluetooth car kit.
Besides this, we also offer a vast range of other interior and exterior accessories for cars, bakkies, and SUVs. We truly are your first and last port of call, so contact us today.
