The Benefits of a BMW Bluetooth Adapter

If you haven't experienced the safety and convenience of hands-free cell phone use while driving, read on and learn more about the BMW Bluetooth Adapter from Bavarian Soundwerks.

A Brief History of Bluetooth

The technology behind the BMW Bluetooth adapter goes back nearly 120 years, when early physicists such as Nikola Tesla and Gugliemo Marconi began experimenting with wireless technology - the same technology that led to the development of radio in the 1920s.

A BMW Bluetooth adapter uses technology that is essentially a refinement of radio broadcasting. However, unlike radio, Bluetooth is specifically designed to employ low, short range frequencies on the low end of the band in order to allow different digital devices to communicate with one another over very short range. The specifications of this protocol were first established in 1998; however, it took a few years to work out the bugs. Even today, the technology upon which the BMW Bluetooth adapter is based is undergoing constant refinement and improvement.

Hands-Free Cell Phone Operation

Enabling people to use cell phones safely while behind the wheel of an automobile was the first practical use of Bluetooth. The fact is, many auto accidents are caused by people attempting to converse on their cell phones while driving, and increasingly, states and municipalities are enacting laws prohibiting the practice.

Install one of our "plug-and-play" BMW Bluetooth adapters and with the use of a compatible headset, you'll be able to make outgoing and receive incoming cell phone calls without ever removing your hands from the steering wheel or taking your eyes off the road.

No More Missed Calls

The BMW Bluetooth adapter allows your cell phone to interrupt any programming you may be listening to over your radio, so you won't have to worry about missing that all-important business contact.

Voice recognition capability makes dialing out as easy as speaking the numbers - or, if you've programmed it into your cell phone, simply speaking the name of the person or organization you wish to call.
