I’ve used several Bluetooth hands free kits, and this one blows the others away. If you have voice prompts turned on, the PLAY2 will read the names to you so you don’t have to look at the display. To make a call, you navigate to the “Phonebook” menu and then jog left and right through your contacts, which sync automatically from your (compatible) phone. I’ve got my controls mounted right in front of my MX5’s stubby gear stick, so I can use the controls with my hand on the gear stick. You answer by pressing the green button, or reject by pressing the red. You can choose between 5 very nice ringtones, and set the volume. In my case, it’s in the corner where the windscreen meets the dashboard – it’s small, but not so small that you worry that it’s cheap! Incoming calls cause the PLAY2 to ring through your car speakers, with audio playback being paused. The input is via a microphone, which the installer will mount in the best location, pointing at the driver. The iO PLAY2 links into your existing car audio system, and so uses the speakers already in your car for the audio output for calls. I’ve also used it (constantly) with my iPod Nano – connected in the glove-box. I have used the iO PLAY2 to link up with my phone via Bluetooth to make and receive many calls.
