Product Description

Imagine holding a conversation on your Bluetooth wireless phone while entering a car that has a Motorola Bluetooth car kit. Your phone conversation would automatically transition from the phone to the communication system within the car. You could toss the phone into your briefcase and seamlessly continue your conversation via the communication control panel installed within the car. When the conversation ends, you could choose to initiate another call by using voice dialing features. With the car kit, a highly stylized "communications control panel" will be professionally installed into the dashboard. This panel, similar in function and appearance to a car radio, houses volume buttons to easily adjust and control volume.

Amazon.com Product Description
For the ultimate in no-compromises, totally-integrated mobile communications, look no further than the Motorola HF850 Deluxe Wireless Car Kit. When used with a compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone, this device allows you to enjoy hands-free communication in your vehicle with a minimum of fuss. Plus, you'll get tons of great functionality that will keep you talking wherever you roam.



Incredibly tiny, the HF850 is perfect for your car.
At the heart of the main unit is a large, blue button that engages and disengages the speakerphone. The button is surrounded by a blue indicator LED light that provides a visual cue about the wireless speaker status. Four other buttons, all of which sport a beautiful chrome finish, offer easy access to mute functions and volume control, as well as voice recognition control. Use the voice recognition button to easily place calls using your phone's voice dialing function. All buttons on the main unit are also backlit for easy viewing in dark conditions, and with a receiving range of 30 feet, you can be assured that the unit will communicate with a Bluetooth phone that's anywhere in your vehicle.

The HF850 kit also comes with a directional microphone, a Bluetooth module for connectivity with your phone and a 5-Watt external speaker for great sound performance in your car. The kit is supplied with all necessary wiring connectors, mounting hardware, and fuses for installation (professional installation is required).

Any Bluetooth phone that supports the Hands-free Profile should work with the HF850, but you'll want to check with your phone manufacturer to make sure. Motorola states that the HF850 is compatible with the Motorola V551, V600, A630, MPX220, and RAZR V3. It is also compatible with the V710, but this phone must have firmware 8700_01.40 or higher.

Customer Reviews

Second unit works fine...3
First unit delivered worked normally for 6 days then went dead. Replugging its power cable brought it back to life: just like a cat it happened 9 times and then I sent unit back for replacement. Second unit has been in two weeks and works fine. My recommendations? Good unit but SAVE ALL RECIEPTS - you may need them again...

Motorola HF8504
We installed these kits in 3 of our service trucks for use with Motorola i580's. The kits are simple to install, easy to link with the phone and work very well, even in our louder diesel trucks. I especially like the feature that mutes the radio automatically when you make or receive a call.

Hands Free - so easy and safe5
This is the second of these units I have purchased. While there is some difficulty in adapting to newer cell phones, this unit works very well in my wife's car with her RAZR 3 cell phone. It creates a much safer means of communication as it requires only touching one button on the dash mounted unit to initiate or answer cell phone calls. The voice recognition makes it even more safe as it allows your attention to remain on the task of driving and not dialing. Such devices should be required for all cell phone using drivers. By the way, while this unit is less sophisticated, it gets the job done and at a very reasonable price.
