Parrot Launches Easydrive™ Portable Bluetooth® Car Kit
New Look and Better Sound for Plug & Drive Wireless Auto Accessory
NEW ORLEANS, LA (MARCH 14, 2005) – Consumers who want the convenience and safety benefits of Bluetooth in the car can now turn to Parrot’s new Easydrive for a wireless kit that plugs into any car’s cigarette lighter for hands-free phone function.
Parrot, known for developing the first-ever Bluetooth car kit as well as the first car kit requiring no installation, has taken its Plug & Drive solution to a new level. Gone is the microphone wire that you had to previously clip on. Instead, Easydrive’s enhanced-audio microphone is attractively displayed and attached to the unit’s speaker – providing close range convenience for the driver.
With each new model, Parrot takes further steps to enhance audio quality. Noise reduction and echo cancellation features allow you to hear and be heard clearly despite ambient sound and on busy roadways.
Even if your phone is stashed in your purse or tucked in your jacket on the back seat, with Bluetooth connectivity your voice commands will activate your phone’s SEND and RECEIVE functions. The phone book holds up to 200 numbers, and you can check voicemail without taking your hands off the steering wheel.
Easydrive, like all other Parrot car kits, is compatible with all Bluetooth phones regardless of carrier.
