You must have heard about countries where there is a law that says that all cell phone calls made in car must be handsfree. The reason is obvious, if you ask me: this is meant to prevent accidents caused by inattentive drivers who are using the phone when they shouldn’t. However, there are still many drivers with cell phones pressed to their ears in blatant violation of this law. Studies have shown that even with a hands-free unit, the added distraction to the driver and the increase in accident rates are almost as substantial as when driving and talking on a normal mobile phone.

Maybe these drivers need an Ego Flash, a device that has nothing to do with motivational talk in any way, but it’s an advanced Bluetooth handsfree device for automobile with some very cool extra features. It’s like someone wrote down all those things you could add into a Bluetooth handsfree unit and just kicked them all off. Combined with a multimedia technology, a brilliant high definition OLED display, this car kit becomes the leader in its class.

The Ego Flash has two parts, the brains of the outfit which can be hidden anywhere in the car and the discrete control panel with its 1.6-inch OLED display and a handful of buttons. The two parts are wired together via your car stereo which is used to provide audio output, so installing it probably needs some professional touch. This display has caller ID, controls the phone, it can hang up and even do redials. It can also do text messaging and it will even read them aloud. You can control your phone and instruct it to dial numbers all completely handsfree and with no machine training required. In addition, the device can even hold 10,000 entries from your phone’s contact list, so it’s great if you aren’t the geek kind of guy and you know lots of people.

Ego Flash is music friendly as the car kit even includes a 3.5 mm stereo input jack for MP3 / iPhone music input, so it will play back music files stored on your devices. On the other hand, there’s a possibility for you to enjoy the ultimate experience, as Ego Flash also features noise cancelling microphone which combines with DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology for noise and echo cancellation.

The automatic reconnect feature means that Ego Flash reconnects with the last cell phone it was functioning with, making hands free truly hands free. You can pair it up with then different phones, and it can accept A2DP stereo Bluetooth streaming and AVRCP remote control.

If you’re not very much into English, don’t worry, this thing is multilingual, as English, Spanish and French are user selectable languages. En consecuencia, if you’re interested in Bluetooth handsfree devices, allez-y! You can find it on Amazon for an amount of $206.95.
