GPS, hands-free and smartphone charging in the car. This is what we can achieve with the new Parrot hands-free kit combined with our smartphone. It is called Parrot MINIKIT Smart and it is designed to offer a total solution for the use of the browser and the mobile phone in the car with any of the latest touch phones on the market. Parrot MINIKIT Smart manages calls at the wheel and at the same time places the typical advanced mobile phone with its maps clearly visible on the car dashboard.
The problem we had to use the touch map phone was that we did not have a suitable holder to place it on the dashboard. In addition, we did not have a quality hands-free, nor a system to recharge the phone's battery. Now this new Parrot kit has a discreet and stylish suction cup mount where you can firmly place your mobile. A multifunction stand that does all this and costs only 100 euros.
To use it, just place the phone in the holder and we will have a voice-controlled hands-free. A speakerphone that also connects directly to two mobiles. When using it as a navigator, we will only have to click on the icon of the phone's maps and ask it to take us to our destination. Then, the mobile will show us the way and will tell us out loud where we have to turn. All with the voice amplified and very clear. On the other hand, if a call comes in, the hands-free phone function will be activated and we can carry on a conversation comfortably and without being distracted from the wheel. Also, when the call ends,our screen will automatically return to the maps function and will continue to show us the way as if nothing had happened. Somehow, this little invention definitely outshines conventional GPS navigators and ends up giving the perfect solution for using both the phone and the navigator while driving.
Parrot MINIKIT Smart is the first Bluetooth multifunction hands-free kit that adapts to all smartphones and is compatible with all operating systems: Android, iOS, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Symbian, Bada, etc. MINIKIT Smart has a built-in 2W loudspeaker that enables calls and GPS audio aids to ring. Also, if we are on a long trip, we will not have to worry, since this new Parrot can recharge the phone using a USB cable. Thus, we will be able to be located throughout the trip and, in addition, we will have GPS at all timesso as not to get lost.
To place it on the windshield or dashboard of the car, simply fix it with the suction cup or the magnet that is incorporated. In addition, we can place it both vertically and horizontally, according to what suits us best. Parrot MINIKIT Smart also includes a retractable microphone that we can place where it best suits us inside the car, thus achieving high quality conversations. With an autonomy waiting a week, this new Parrot can be recharged, as usual, with lighter socket of the vehicle.
One of the best features of MINIKIT Smart is that it automatically synchronizes and updates the agenda, being able to store up to 10 different agendas. In this way, it can be used by multiple conductors. It also has a voice synthesis system for names and a voice recognition system that does not require prior training or installation. To call a contact from the phonebook, we just have to say the name and MINIKIT Smart will dial the number. Parrot MINIKIT Smart will be on sale starting this month at a recommended price of 100 euros.
