Setting up a connection between phone and hands-free kit was the first test, with the most user-friendly scoring best. Those that can connect to more than one phone impressed, while we mainly looked for ease of use. It's far safer to use a hands-free system, but while most new cars have a Bluetooth system to link your phone to your car, many older cars don't. Fortunately, there are specialist devices available that offer much of the convenience of the latest built-in systems. The new Plantronics K100™ is more than just an in-car speakerphone.. Broadcast calls, GPS navigation and music from your smartphone over the K100 s stereo Bluetooth connection, and stay in control whilst driving. Or link to your car speakers with the FM transmitter. Its slim profile is designed to fit on your car’s visor, and deliver the audio excellence you expect from Plantronics Dual microphones, noise reduction technology, voice alerts and large, easy-to-locate buttons provide clear conversations or use the dedicated mute button to go silent with one touch. With convenience like this, you may never leave your car.

This speakerphone says various status alerts when you power on/off, lose/ reconnect the Bluetooth connection to your phone, or change FM channels.

The first step in our test was to open a connection between our test phone and each kit, taking a note of which was the most user-friendly to link up, and awarding extra points to those systems that can be linked to more than one phone simultaneously. On the bright side, you don't have to power down and up the K100 to reconnect your Windows Phone. If you leave the K100's range, simply tap the multi-function button once to reconnect things. Turn the LED On or Off: For comfortable night driving, you can turn the lights on or off by pressing and holding the Mute button for 2 seconds until you hear a tone. Avoid a Dead Battery: Remember to power off the speakerphone when you exit your car. If you forget, the speakerphone will automatically turn off after 90 minutes of not having an active connection. The third button on the K100's surface is a mute button that does exactly what you'd expect it to. Additionally, holding the mute button for 2 seconds activates a "night mode" that disables the unit's blinking connection status LED. It's a small feature, but one that we found ourselves using quite a bit during our testing.
