Motorola Roadster 2 Tz710 Bluetooth in-car Speakerphone -Bulk Packaging

I\'ve tried who knows how many different bluetooth handfree for car over the years, ones that has FM transmitting capabilities. Ranging from those <$5 ones that plug into the cigarette charger to those solar ones costing >$20, they either have some serious deficiency or just die after working for a few weeks. So I decided to bite the bullet and go for the Cadillac, and just like they said you get what you paid for.In my mind, a car handfree has to have the following requirements:- easy to turn on/off (so I get in/out of my car without servicing the handfree)- loud & clear speaker/radio output voice (so I can hear the others well)- loud & clear mic input voice (so the others can hear me well)- easy call-answering (you don\'t have to look to reach for a button when a call comes in)- easy call-making (to me not as important as call-answering)- FM broadcast of music (nice to have, so I don\'t have to duplicate my collection on my phone to the car)The Roadster 2 hits all of the above criteria, and then some.The little module has a visor clip, which originally I was not a big fan of as I had some of the previous cheap ones that just clip and still allow the unit to slip out of the visor. Not this one though: doesn\'t matter how I fling around the visor to block the sun from the front or the side, the unit just stayed attached.And if you clip the unit onto the visor, then you\'ll have all the button accessible to you without looking. It even has back-lighted buttons if you so required. The buttons are laid out between 2 rows, the top ones are what you need for calls, the lower ones for music/radio channels. The on/off button are on the right-handside which you don\'t need to worry about, & in the next paragraph I\'ll explain why.On their website there\'s the advertised \"motion on/off\" feature, which you don\'t truly appreciate it until you try it out yourself. When you exit your car & forgot to turn off the unit, it\'ll automatically switch off to preserve power. When you come back, obviously still needing the bluetooth on on your phone, as soon as you open the door and get inside the car, some magic happens that the unit knows it & announce the reconnection of your phone to the unit & the current battery level of the unit - amazing! With this feature, I actually don\'t bother with the on/off switch everyday when I leave my car at work, although I do switch it off when I go back home. The detection, once you\'ve successfully paired it with your phone, has been 100% so far without fuss.Call managing is as easy as one can imagine. You can set it such that you can answer call by pressing the call button, or via voice command. When a call comes in it\'ll announce the caller\'s name or phone number. There\'s an app that you could download for free to do text-messaging although I haven\'t tried that. I also had trouble having my voice command recognized, although that\'s something to do with my voice command app (Utter! in Android) since I have never had success with it directly at the phone itself when I\'m driving. Like other bluetooth handsfree, you could also dial by press & hold the call button that calls to the last number you dial.After the frustrations that I have with most of the other bluetooth handsfree that I tried previously, the volume for both input/output is the one performance that pleased me the most. The unit has most of its surface area used for the built-in speaker phone. That might be part of the reason why the tiny module can give out such loud volume - I don\'t even have to turn it all the way up to hear what the other party is saying when I\'m driving on the noisiest highway with winding etc. The call incoming sounds just like if you\'re using the speakerphone on your own phone. The other party always comment that my voice sound loud & clear, no echoing or hollowness that frustrates both myself and the others. Even when I play music out of the unit, the sound is acceptable, albeit you lose the stereo and other fancy processing that your car-stereo provides.The FM transmitter function well. So far I only tried 90.1MHz, whereas the range starts at 88.1 I think. The unit will start up without the FM mode, including reconnection after you leave the car, so you have to press the FM button everytime but it\'ll remember the last frequency you used. Through the radio in your car, you have even more range of volume to crank further up in case for some reason you need more. The reception is crisp and noise-free once the broadcast is established, & I don\'t even notice any background static which a lot of the other bluetooth broadcasting units have. Calls sound even better than via the speakerphone - imagine you\'re wearing your headphone plugged in directly to your phone. Music, while not having any trouble with volume, however sound very narrow and cloudly, which oddly is at least not noticeable with the speakerphone. That is perhaps that only drawback that I\'ve found so far. But what I haven\'t done and planning to do so is try different songs and FM channels, as again my past experience tells me that those do make a difference.Due to the aforementioned auto power-off feature, so far after the 1st full charge 2 weeks ago, I haven\'t need to recharge it yet. I notice since yesterday that the power level is now at \"medium\", which I reckon will at least last for another week given the current rate of usage before I hear a \"low\" level. That\'s more than adequate battery life. The charging is easy: just plug in any microUSB cable, which lots of Android phone uses anyway, & it takes only a few hours. The package also include a car charge that plugs into the cigarette charger.& then there\'s this additional feature that allows you to find your car in the parking lot in case you forgot where you park. That requires a free app by Motorola that you can download for free. What it does is if you have it turn on, when you leave your car you can ask the app to save your car\'s current location, with your GPS turn on. When you come back from your shopping, go back to your app & it\'ll show you a screen that tells you where you are & a mark of where you car is, so when you walk around you can follow the arrow to reach your car. For the map to actually show up in the window you need data connection, but even offline it\'ll still work - the arrow and the marked location of your car is still there, you just need your GPS on & that\'s enough for navigating inside a parking lot. I haven\'t tried in an underground parking yet, if this feature purely rely on GPS and not cell signal triangulation then it might not work. 1 thing though is if you don\'t want to use it, you have to disable it at the app otherwise it\'ll keep popping up & complain if you don\'t have the GPS on.So in summary if you are a driver like me who needs a reliable bluetooth handsfree unit, you could do worse than getting the Motorola Roadster 2. My only regret is not getting it sooner instead of trying to go cheap with the other units over the years.
I have an older vehicle without bluetooth. I don\'t text while driving ever and seldom take or make calls while driving either so it is not a big deal really. However, the state I live in recently enacted new hands free legislation. Not wanting to get a ticket for taking a call while driving I went looking for a hands free device to use in the car. I know from seeing other hands free devices in action that belong to friends that they seldom work well so I did a lot of research and narrowed it down to just 2. The Roadster 2 and the Jabra Freeway. The Roadster 2 got better reviews overall so I decided to try one out.I have only had it for a little over a week so I can\'t comment on long term reliability or the infamous battery issues. Hopefully I don\'t have problems with it down the road. I want to comment on how it actually works for it\'s intended purpose( taking and making cell phone calls )and the setup process. So far it has worked very well and it paired with ease in about 3 seconds with my LG android cell phone. It always reconnects right off when I return to the vehicle too( NOTE - I do not leave the device on when I am not in the vehicle so I can\'t comment about it\'s built in on/off power saving feature that works off your movement in and out of the vehicle; I turn it on and off each time ). The speaker is very clear( sound quality itself is poor but clarity is great )and people have told me I sound good on their end. The only person who has asked me to repeat myself to this point is someone who is 1/2 deaf and does that even on a land line.The built in answer/decline feature works flawlessly. The FM feature works as advertised too BUT you do get some static. I don\'t use my cell as a music player however so it doesn\'t matter to me. I got this for phone calls period. The voice dial feature works as long as your cell has a built in voice dialer. That has not worked well for me to this point but I think it is more a case of poor speech recognition by the app than the Roadster 2? My built in dialer was useless to say the least. I would say call Jane Doe and it would return with call 686 7945 or call Billy Bird or some similar foolishness. Totally useless as what I said wasn\'t even close to what it would return with. I did research online for the best dialer app and installed that and it did improve things somewhat but it is still not great. Don\'t know if it is the app or the microphone in the device? May just be a combo of the 2. Sending texts via voice is an adventure. Again, it might be the app, the device, or a combo of the two? I don\'t text much at all so that is not an issue for me but if you do be advised it only works marginally well for texting via voice.NOTE - the product literature and website advertisements all talk about a text app from Motorola called MOTOSPEAK. Be advised that Motorola has killed that app and you can NOT download it anywhere. I do not see a replacement for it from Motorola either. It can\'t be downloaded from the mfg nor from any app store( that I could find ). Every search came up empty for a download. Apparently it had a problem in the last revision( 2014 at some point from what I read )and they then pulled it and have not come out with a new version to this point. I don\'t know if they will or not but you can\'t download the app that they advertise to use with this device so be aware of that. You can use 3rd party apps with the device as said ^^^ but I have had poor luck with voice recognition.Overall I am happy with the device. It doesn\'t warrant a 5 star rating as it is not 100% perfect but it is a solid 4. Worth the money if it continues to work as it is now. For it\'s main function, which is hands free cell calling, it works very well. Taking calls is flawless but you need a good voice dialer to make them hands free. I am still looking for one of those.
