New Bluetooth Headsets from BMW and MINI

Owners of BMW and MINI vehicles can now benefit from new Bluetooth headsets matched specifically to the car they drive. Just as expected, the connection to the user’s mobile phone does not require any wiring, and consists of a combined earplug/microphone unit.

If the car is not equipped with an integrated telephone or a mobile phone preparation kit installed from the start at the factory, the driver is still able to drive safely while communicating thanks to this universal hands-free mobile phone communication systems. However, the new Bluetooth devices can be even used in combination with two mobile phones.

These new headsets, which are compatible with all Bluetooth-equipped mobile phones, are expected to be available starting December 2009 as part of the Original BMW Accessories and Original MINI Accessories.

The BMW headset comes in white, while the MINI headset is in classic black, both of them bearing the appropriate brand logo on the rhomboid-shaped ear element. The headsets have a low weight of just 8 grams.

The rechargeable battery integrated in the headsets allows maximum use of up to five hours and a stand-by time of up to 7 days. The headsets come complete with a charge adapter to be connected to the car’s power socket or, alternatively, to the cigar lighter.

The headsets are fitted with two control buttons. The first one can be used for the incoming call, end-of-call, and re-dial functions, while the second one is for the level of volume, with speech and reception volume being adjusted automatically to surrounding conditions as a function of the noise level. Moreover, a voice selection function is also available.
