I just received the CRUISER2 yesterday and am highly impressed. Once charged all I had to do was turn on Bluetooth on my iPhone4 and the CRUISER2 immediately recognized the phone and started downloading my contacts. I was interested in a powerful speakerphone but one that also allowed me to use A2DP to stream audio. Unlike other reviewers, I found this device really shone using the FM transmitter. All I had to do was push the FM button on the side of the device and it literally called out the radio station to use. As soon as I switched the car radio to the requested station, my BMW328xi actually showed "CRUISER2" on the display. I streamed music and podcasts from the iPhone4 to the FM receiver using the CRUISER2 and the sound was solid with little distortion or background noise. It's not the same quality as a CD but given road noise it was no problem whatsoever and I think it actually sounded better than using the car's AUX input. In the middle of listening to some music a call came in on my phone. The device worked well, with folks on the other side of the call saying they heard me very clearly at all times. I switched between using the CRUISER2 speaker to listen to my call and the car's FM receiver (switching was as simple as pushing a button) and both worked great. At one point I did start to hear some static on the FM receiver and immediately the CRUISER2 called out another station to use. If you've ever tried to use your FM receiver with other technologies like XM radio you'll know how frustrating it is to fish through stations to find a clear signal. The CRUISER2 told me the station, I switched, and a crystal clear signal was restored. Sometimes it's the simple things that make all the difference.
I can't recommend this enough. Small, functional, easy to use, and the ability to use the A2DP to stream music was awesome and much cheaper than having BMW charge me $700 to put the Bluetooth capability in the car. The combination of the CRUISER2 and my iPhone4 was great. Add $5 for a vent-mounted iPhone holder and you're all set. My wife doesn't do anything technical. No email, no bluetooth, no web, no computer, and no DVR. Yet, she can't seem to drive a car unless she's on the phone. She does do cell phone. I bought her a bluetooth, but she never got the hang of it.
I recently bought the Jabra Cruiser2 and it's been great. Talks to you when you turn it on or off. Talks to you at the end of a phone conversation. The audio is great on both ends. It's easy to operate. She loves it and she uses it!!
I see no reason to use the FM radio option. It would complicate things for my wife, and the sound is great already.
We charge the battery once a week, but I ask her to turn it off when not driving the car to conserve energy.
Even though I have a traditional bluetooth, I finally bought one for myself.
