Bluetooth Integration Systems The Next Generation Of Bluetooth Car Kits

Bluetooth Integration is becoming big business for many manufacturers, partly due to government regulations introduced in the early 2000's and secondly due to the increasing emphasis on safety. The recent surge in Bluetooth car kit sales has allowed manufacturers to develop new products designed to make these systems much more use-able and integrate into the vehicles stereo & entertainment systems to provide greater control. Previously, integrated Bluetooth car kits consisted of a stereo mute function that auto-mutes any sound being played through the stereo at the time of a call. These kits don't actually integrate into the stereo system they just override it when a call is made or received. New systems being introduced into the market from Dension allows complete integration into the stereo system. So you can control your phone through the steering wheel controls to browse phonebook & recent calls, and also make and answer calls. Information is displayed on the cluster screen (near the rev gauge & speed gauge) or on the stereo in some occasions. The New Kits show how far the technology is developed in recent years as it was previously thought too difficult to create a system that integrates as all vehicles software and hardware are different. Creating a dilemma, either produce one product which is universal, and installs via a unique vehicle specific lead (SOT Leads) or create multiple product SKU's (Stock keeping Units) of the same kit for compatibility into each different vehicle manufacturer, and sometimes models. However Dension acquired good knowledge of vehicle hardware & software systems from creating iPod integration kits. The same or similar technology is used for Bluetooth which also include iPod connectivity as well. Setting them in good stead to compete with Parrot Bluetooth systems for dominance over the market. One problem with the integrated kits from Dension, called the Gateway five or Gateway 5 is that they are vehicle specific and not available for every vehicle as of yet. The vehicles must Run CAN Bus system in the vehicle to work, so older vehicles (except some BMW's) will not be capable of using them. One thing is for sure, the Dension Bluetooth kits offer much better integration and quality over other kits currently available on the market and although they don't offer any voice control commands like the bury and parrot Bluetooth kits, they are easy to use & functional. Making them to kit to compete with over the coming years.
