ZOpid Talking Hands Free Car Kit

I purchased this item to compare with my other BT car kit - Motorola T305 (reliable connection but not so great in sound and indication). It turns out this unit is a complete opposite. The good - sound quality, including the British-accent voice prompt from the device. It's good to know the current status of the unit and what it is doing. The volume is loud and clear. Never see the low-battery indication as I charge only once a week. (The power outlet on my car doesn't have power when the car is off and is mostly used for my radar detector.) The bad - connectivity: it took me 5 times to successfully pair with my Treo when I receive it. Once it's connected, it's often to drop the connection and pick up again after a few seconds. Occasionally it doesn't pick up anymore. Although so far it never drops the connection DURING a phone conversation, it's quite annoying to have to worry about it. There is another unit almost identical but a little more expensive on amazon.com. ... Read more

I have been using this carkit for almost a year and I am very pleased with the product quality. Over the year I have used the carkit with a few different cell phone models without any problem - any minor issues that I have had were resolved by either consulting the user manual or visiting product-support website. When I used the carkit for the first time I felt that the volume was not loud enough but the product support website had instructions on how to fix that problem - the fix required adjusting the incoming-call volume on the cell phone- which on most phones is adjusted while you are on a phone call. The volume adjustment is required again only if the phone settings are reset. To use voice dialing from the carkit, when it's paired with my Motorola V3, I have to press the call button twice, instead of just once as documented in the user manual. Again, I found detailed instructions on voice dialing on product support website. My wife uses my car sometimes, so my carkit ... Read more

I was excited to get this product and finally be able to speak "hands free" while driving my vehicle. I have tried other blue tooth devices that fit over the ear and have never liked the way any of them have fit. I have three cell phones (one for personnal and two for work) and was looking forward to a device that could connect to all three. After using this device for a few days I was terribly disappointed with the perfomance. I continued to use it for several more weeks hoping for an improvement, but no luck. I have listed my opinions for pro's and con's to help you decide. Pros: Holds a charge for several days and comes with an included car charger. Very large, bright LCD display for incoming calls. Voice prompts with number. Sorry, that's all of the good stuff. CONS: Pairs to each of my three phones with no problem.... but NOT simultaneously. It automatically pairs to my work phone (the primary pairing) when the unit is initially turned on. The device won't pair wit... Read more
