Hands Free
Our son was frustrated with the car stereo he had bought less than two years ago. Needing to have a hands free phone option in his car, he thought he would be able to use a Bluetooth adaptor with the stereo. He, unfortunately, found that not to be true. He began a search for the type of stereo for his car, but was having issues finding one that worked with his iPhone. Those of you that have ipods, know how valuable they can be on long trips. Greg is in his car a lot, so he really wanted his stereo to be compatible, but the issue that he found was that his fairly new receiver was already too old. How many times have we experienced that with computers? To make a long story short and to not go into the frustration of dealing with technicians who like to pass the buck, he finally was able to find a stereo and get it to work the way he needed. We gave him a new receiver for his birthday, but it ended up being useless with an iPhone. A terrific technician allowed him to return that receiver and pick out one that was recommended for use with the iPhone, and now it works great! His music plays in his car via wireless connection, and the Bluetooth lets him talk handsfree using his car speakers. He is a happy young man and had a happy birthday.

The kids do like the music on when traveling. I love the silence myself, much more peaceful. My daughter often likes to listen to books on tape when she’s traveling. I always remind her to use ear piece for the cell phone for safety, but prefer she not talk much while driving. I sometimes think kids don’t realize driving does need attention, and that if there busy talking hour after hour, and singing to the music…there’s not much attention given to the more important task which is the driving.
