Armour Automotive has launched iO Talk1.

iO Talk1 is a new hands-free kit with the added benefit of Bluetooth music streaming.

Makers Armour Automotive says the product is being aimed at both business car and the private car hire markets. And tradesmen with vans along with operators of larger van fleets.

Costing just £45 the iO Talk1 has been designed to ensure drivers comply with current road safety legislation.

The system has been audio-engineered to eliminate road noise. The digital amplifier provides high-level voice clarity to ensure driver attention remains on the road. A facility for voice commands means that there is no need to touch the controller when making a call.

iO Talk1 integrates with a car’s existing audio system to direct phone conversations, sat nav commands and music into the vehicle’s front two speakers. The system works with all Bluetooth-enabled mobiles, iPhone 3G, PDAs, iPods, MP3 players, and sat navs.

“iO Talk1 offers a driver-friendly experience. It is simple and easy-to-use, helping mobile employees to work responsibly while enabling businesses to operate their company cars in a legally compliant manner,” said Barry Davies, managing director, Armour Automotive.

Armour Automotive says the iO Talk1 is easy to fit thanks to its wireless control console. And can be located wherever is convenient.
