Best in-car Bluetooth hands-free kits

It's illegal to hold a mobile phone and drive; we pick the best Bluetooth hands-free car kits, so you can inform friends that you'll be late or chat about what so-and-so is doing with you-know-who and not be nabbed by the boys and gals in blue.

Best FM transmitters for the car

Not all iPod FM transmitters are created equal — some have dodgy cradles that fling your iPod around the cabin, others roll over at the first sign of interference. We pick three of the best, so you have your tunes everywhere you drive.

Reviews

  • AVLabs Portable Photo Album & Presenter

    If there was an award for the most interesting concept for a digital photo frame, then the Portable Photo Album & Presenter from AVLabs would probably win hands down.

  • Pioneer AVIC-F10BT

    Pioneer's top-of-the-range in-dash navigation unit, the F10BT features a 7-inch touchscreen, movie playback including DivX, Bluetooth hands-free, USB connectivity and iPod support, as well as sat nav with text-to-speech, 3D view and traffic messaging.

  • Asus Eee Box B206

    For undemanding users who aren't into HD video, Asus' Eee Box B206 is worth a look; however, it's not powerful enough to take on other media-centre PCs.

  • Ford Fiesta Zetec 5-door automatic (2009, WS)

    Despite being the sportiest Fiesta, the Zetec automatic is still lumbered with the less powerful 1.4-litre engine. Maybe the Bluetooth hands-free, six-speaker stereo with USB and full complement of safety kit will make you feel better.

  • Ford Fiesta Zetec 5-door manual (2009, WS)

    Five-doors plus Bluetooth hands-free, USB, six-speaker stereo, body kit and a full complement of safety kit equals the Fiesta Zetec. Oddly the sportiest Fiesta (so far) has no extra power.

  • Ford Fiesta Zetec 3-door manual (2009, WS)

    The sportiest of the new Fiestas doesn't have any extra power, but does include standard Bluetooth hands-free, USB slot, body kit and alarm.

  • Ford Fiesta LX 5-door manual (2009, WS)

    Upgrading to the LX nets you a six speaker audio system with an auxiliary jack for MP3 player connectivity, Bluetooth hands-free with voice control, alloy wheels and cruise control.

  • Ford Fiesta CL 5-door manual (2009, WS)

    Two extra doors means added practicality. Inside you'll still get a single CD player, steering wheel audio controls and an auxiliary jack for connecting to your favourite MP3 player.
