I bought this unit because, it was small, solar powered and bluetooth. The unit is small,I have it on the upper left of my windshield, easy to use, works very well. I like the fact that I can audio text with my phone.
Two things could be better, the speaker, and the transmission quality. Otherwise, this is a great product at a great price.iKross Solar Powered Windshield Mount Wireless Bluetooth Speakerphone Handsfree Car Kit

I put my order in and it arrived the day it was promised. I love this thing. It is portable and has good sound.Not Great .. Not Horrible .. Nothing to write home about!I bought this cause it was cheap .. and guess what? its kinda cheap! LoL
Volume is fair .. could be WAY louder for me.
Mic is fair .. most people say it sounds like a speaker phone
( Probably because it is LoL )
But they say they can hear me OK Some back ground noise ect.
Like the other reviewer the volume controls are on the left side
which make it impossible to adjust the volume if you have it on
the edge of your windshield like Both of us do.
Good: Its Solar Powered Very Cool! So No charging .. no cords!
Bad: Freaking thing turns off after 15 minutes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They say it has a standby of 1000 hours!
Well How can you tell??? If it turns OFF after 15 minutes!!!!!
( Wouldn't that be a standby time of infinity LoL )
Gave it 1 star because of it turning off after 15 minutes!
Also Because it makes it very inconvenient to use!
because you have to turn it back on every time you need it!
Other wise I guess its a 3 star because it does work.I'm editing my original review. Everything I wrote before is still true, however I almost never use this anymore. The main reason is the range it's too large. It say it has a 10 meter range, and it does but that's 30 feet. No cars are that big, but it's a large enough range to cover pretty much anywhere in my house or office when I'm parked.
I'll forget to turn this off before I leave the car, and the next time I try to make or answer a call in my house or at work, it sends the audio to the speaker. The only solution I've found that doesn't involve me going back out to my car is to turn off the bluetooth on my phone, which is a little too annoying, since I then have to remember to turn both the speaker and my phone bluetooth on the next day before I can use it.
A one meter range would have been sufficient, and done a lot to help with the usability. As it is, I can't in good conscience recommend this anymore, and I'm going to look for another solution myself.

The mount works well, the speaker is loud, and it's nice to be able to set it up there and forget about it.
However, the audio isn't that great. Usually it's clear, but sometimes it's hard to make out what the person you're talking to is saying. Also, the buttons to control the volume are on the left of the device, which make it impossible to adjust the volume if you have it on the edge of your windshield like I do. The instructions suggest mounting it in the middle of the windshield right in front of the driver (seriously, there's a photo and everything) but that's crazy.
It works well for what I wanted it for broadcasting my phone so I can hear Waze.
