Bluetooth tuning for inside car communication

Dabendorf (ots) - IFA 2008: Funkwerk Dabendorf expands product
palette to include new plug & play car kit for drink holders and
Bluetooth accessories

At the international consumer electronics show IFA in Berlin,
German Funkwerk Dabendorf, the expert for wireless in-car
communications, announces the market launch of a new member of the
Ego family of hands free car kits as well as three brand new
accessory solutions: With the new plug & play hands-free set Ego Cup
FM, Funkwerk Dabendorf takes plug & play to the next level. Simply
slot into the cup holder and dial away. Pod'n'Blue links iPods
wirelessly to the hands-free sets of the Ego series as well as the
iDapter. Via the Ego hands free car kit system both devices play
music through the car's speaker system. The Talk'n'Walk headset with
Multipoint technology enables users to switch seamlessly between two
different mobile phones in the car or at home. Funkwerk Dabendorf is
presenting its news products at this year's IFA from 29 August to 3
September in Berlin on Stand 313 in Hall 9.

This year, the world's largest consumer electronic show IFA sees
the market launch of four new devices for inside car communication
and entertainment by Funkwerk Dabendorf. Ego Cup FM is the name of
the new plug & play solution, which is equipped with a whole host of
convenient features such as a built-in rechargeable battery, display
and FM transmitter. Thanks to its clever design, the latest
innovation to hit the exhibition fits into almost all in-car cup
holders. Once linked, the Ego Cup FM automatically connects to a
mobile phone via Bluetooth. A built-in FM transmitter, which can also
transmit MP3s from mobile to radio, means calls can either be taken
over the integrated speaker or the car speakers, as with professional
devices. A free UKW frequency is used, which can be changed at any
time via the device's display. The easy-to-read display also shows
phone numbers. Thanks to echo and noise reduction, good sound quality
is guaranteed even at higher speeds. The built-in rechargeable
battery means the Ego Cup FM doesn't have to rely on an external
power supply and lasts for seven hours of talk-time and up to two
weeks on standby. The battery can be recharged at any time using the
battery charger lead for the cigarette lighter. No installation is
necessary for the Ego Cup FM. Once slotted into the in-car cup
holder, the device is ready to use. This allows the flexible device
to be operated by different users in different vehicles. The stylish
piano-like design cuts a fine figure in any vehicle. The device is
compatible with the latest Bluetooth mobiles and stores up to eight
mobile phones.

Multipoint Headset Talk'n'Walk

Funkwerk Dabendorf will also be bringing its first wireless
headset to IFA. The Talk'n'Walk headset is ideal for drivers with
several mobile phones. Thanks to Multipoint technology, drivers can
switch between two Bluetooth phones while on the road. This discreet,
stylish black headset provides superb sound quality and is
exceptionally comfortable to wear, with the ergonomic design fitting
snugly around the ear.

Bluetooth accessories for non-stop music enjoyment in the car

Pod'n'Blue is a small wireless transmitter which turns an iPod
into a Bluetooth-capable player. This gateway accessory allows the
iPod to be linked to hands-free sets of the Ego series. A Bluetooth
connection is set up between the two devices and the music on the
iPod is played directly through the car's speaker system via the
hands-free set. The adapter is simply plugged into the dock connector
of the iPod and the Pod'n'Blue immediately starts transmitting audio
signals in crystal-clear digital quality to the hands-free set with
the aid of an A2DP profile.

Funkwerk Dabendorf has also just launched a key accessory for the
company's Ego Flash, Ego Look and Ego Drive hands-free sets. The new
iDapter lets users link an iPod directly to any of the Ego devices
and play music through the car's speaker system. The iPod is powered
through the cable while used in the car. And there's no need to
fiddle with buttons while driving: the remote function can be used to
control all the iPod's playback functions from the hands-free set,
including song selection, start, stop and pause.

Funkwerk Dabendorf will be presenting these four new products at
IFA 2008 in Hall 9, Stand 313. The products are scheduled to go on
sale in Germany in August. The Ego Cup FM will be available for 89
Euro, Talk'n'Walk will be available for 49 Euro, Pod'n'Blue as well
for 59 Euro and the iDapter for 65 Euro.
