5 Benefits of Hands-Free Connectivity in Your Car
Enjoy Uninhibited Driving & Constant Connectivity with Bluetooth Stereo Installation in San Diego
If you’re not already driving with a hands-free bluetooth connection to your smartphone, you should be. California is one of 14 states in which it’s prohibited to use a hand-held cell phone while driving. If you’re cool with having a million notifications blowing up your phone, then this may not impact you as much, but for those of us who are on-the-go 24/7 and value constant connectivity, this throws a serious wrench in our lifestyle. So, rather than risk the wrath of the law, stay legit and connected with bluetooth technology.
In case the whole not-breaking-the-law thing isn’t enough to sell you on hands-free connectivity, maybe we can convince you with the following benefits - you know, outside of avoiding tickets and fines.
Bluetooth allows for easy phone calls and more
You probably already know that with a hands-free car stereo, you can safely converse with callers through your car’s speaker system while driving. But with a Bluetooth Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP), you can also view your contacts, appointments, and call logs on your car’s display. Just think: no more scrolling through your phonebook while heading up to Moonlight Beach. With voice command, all you need to do is say, “Call Mom,” and boom. Done. Talk about instant gratification!
Stream audio from Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, and more with a hands-free radio
Statistics show that the average San Diego resident spends approximately 40 hours per year in traffic. Ugh! That’s a full work week of sitting around doing a whole lot of nothing. Music or audiobooks streaming via bluetooth through your car’s speakers can make all the difference between losing your mind and keeping your cool in the morning slog on northbound 805 at Clairemont Mesa Boulevard.
Hands-free texting with a bluetooth-integrated stereo system
We’re all well aware of the dangers surrounding texting and driving. It’s just not a good idea. Bluetooth technology, coupled with your phone’s bi-directional text access, allows you to listen to your texts so you don’t feel tempted to read them while driving. Now you can hear your girlfriend’s racy texts through your car’s speakers and dictate the appropriate response, all while navigating through the Mission Valley Mall parking lot. In other words, bluetooth promotes safe…texting.
GPS navigation is easier with a hands-free car stereo
While the state of California does allow the use of a cell phone’s map features without a hands-free device, using bluetooth is just plain better. You’ll hear the directions from a GPS navigation system, such as Google Maps, more clearly when they’re coming from your car’s speakers than you will if they’re coming from your phone. And you certainly wouldn’t want to risk missing an exit when you’re already running late to your boss’s kid’s quinceañera.
Use Siri in the car hands-free with a bluetooth stereo
If you’re one of those people who can’t remember what life was like before Siri, it should put you at ease knowing that with bluetooth technology, she remains as close as ever. Even while you’re flying up the I-5, you can ask her to tell you what’s playing at the Cinépolis in Del Mar, or to play songs by Katy Perry (don’t worry, she won’t tell). Who cares what life was like before Siri? The key is that it never has to be that way again.
