Can anyone comment on the communication quality of the device when trying to hold a conversation while driving a convertible car?

I just got mine about a week ago and I use it constantly. No one can ever tell when I am on it. It makes it so easy. And the range! I put my phone in the center of the house and now I can answer my phone where ever I am. A++++

Communication is great.I would recommend this to anyone who is in need of a hands free headset.

I would advise a better model for your use. I have trouble hearing with this model under decent conditions. It's good enough for me, but I don't think it is going to be good enough to have a conversation in a convertible. Plantronics is a good brand, but you will need more than the economy model.

I don't know. I looked over the instructions and did not see anything about that. I wouldn't use it anyway because I would be concerned that someone else in a car thinking they should text back. Sorry I couldn't be more help. The speaker still works for what I want it for.

No problems with feedback. My calls come across clear as does the sound from the other end. I've called both over the FM and just through the Roadster. Mine is clipped to the visor just above my head.

I'd be careful about answering whether it works "well" with any radio. My experience using it with a Midland GTX5000 was that it did work but 'd rate it as marginal. Receiving volume is not as loud as it should be regardless of where the radio volume control is set. If there is background noise it is hard to hear - just my opinion. I have used other radios with hand mics and have had excellent reception. This remote mic may be very specific to the radio it works best with. I can't say which radio that is. I would not buy one again without knowing which radio it is designed for. All 2 pin hand mics are not equal. I'd be careful about answering whether it works "well" with any radio.

There is a slight hesitation, maybe 1/2 of a second probably due to the Bluetooth talking between to the roadster and your smartphone. It is a great device and glad I got it for my wife, she is a talker.

Your mileage may vary (sorry, couldn't resist the pun), but most mobiles can support multiple Bluetooth peripherals, e.g. an HID trackpad/keyboard and a headset. Your car is probably paired as a headset device (maybe A2DP for music), this may interfere with the headset connection, but as an HID it should work. The real question is, can you NOT use this device's audio connection while using it as an HID trackpad.

There is a review of this MPOW Streambot Y at (http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/review/mpow-steambot-y-delivers-bluetooth-for-older-cars?utm_campaign=tmo_home_sidebar) which states that you can do this by pressing a button on the Streambot. If this meets your criteria for "hands free" then, yes; you can do a full conversation hands free.

Sadly no, its handy if you no longer subscribe to OnStar. If you do use OnStar regularly, this isn't the option for you. if your car has a AUX port, purchase the kinova Bluetooth adapter. I have one in another car and it works flawless for music and phone calls.

I was able to stream in horrible quality though but with my flip phone...so I'm assuming it will work as described with a smart phone...but connection in my 03 gm truck with 300k miles was crystal clear, no one could tell that I was using Bluetooth, and now I have a 2013 brand new gm with factory Bluetooth and no one can hear my clear like this unit I installed did.

No I haven't. It's a good Bluetooth. The only thing you might experience is that some people can't hear you well. It must be their phone system or their phone, but when I talk to most of my friends, they can hear me very clear. I like it.

I am not sure, but I have also bought it to use it with gtalk and yahoo messenger voice chat. I am waiting for it to arrive. If someone already has it, please post your experience.

I have used this in a car while driving and I found it worked fine, people could understand me, I could hear them and I only had to press one button to answer and hang up, it's a cheap alternative for an old car that has no modern stuff at all!

It's great. I can take it from car to car. Very easy to transfer. Good for using to talk instead of holding phone. A must. Yes get one. Good luck

Hi CaryI have a BlueAnt Commute in both my cars.I like the text to voice feature which keeps it completly hands free.

I can only get the speaker to work on some occasions. I wouldn't recommend using it, every time I have gotten it to work the quality is incredibly low. It seems to be meant to be used strictly for a skype handset. I would recommend a Bluetooth headset for voice chat. I really like the samsung HM1700.

I haven't had any problems with it. I talk to my boyfriend all the time on speaker phone and without it. If it's difficult to hear them while driving I recommend having a radio with an aux port. If the radio is Bluetooth compatible just sync it with you're smart phone or use a generic aux cable and plug it into your headphone port on your smartphone. Either way this patches it through your car speakers. This works really well especially if it's windy or bad weather. My bf says when I do that it sounds very clear.
