Parrot DriveBlue Car handfree system (version 3.10) review
Share this page:
Depending on the phone you are using, different features are available to you. I've tested the DriveBlue with Sony
Answering a call is simple press the green button (PICK UP) on the DriveBlue unit. If you press the phone's answer key, the calls will be routed to your handset. When done with the call, you press the red button (HANG UP) or if you have WordSpotting enabled and you have trained it, you can say Hang Up.
Redialing
Press and hold the green button on the DriveBlue unit for 2 seconds. (
Dual call
Press the green button on the DriveBlue unit upon hearing the 'beep' to place the active call on hold and accept the waiting call. Press the green button again to alternate between calls. Press the red button on the DriveBlue unit to reject the waiting call. (
Private mode
This feature allows you to switch an ongoing call from the handsfree to your phone.
Wordspotting
This feature allows you to initiate or terminate a call without using the buttons of your handsfree or your phone. A procedure for training the voice commands is required. This feature is available with some Bluetooth phones.
Auto Answer
When enabled, this feature will automatically accept incoming calls after the second ring.
Caller ID
When trained, the name of the caller will be played prior to answering the call.
Some phones can display the DriveBlue options menu on their screen. This allows you to manage from your phone: - Phonebook menu
Phonebook inside handsfree
DriveBlue allows you to download your phonebook into its memory, and to keep both lists synchronized. The major benefit doing so is to perform noise-robust voice recognition speed dial from the DriveBlue processor on up to 200 phone entries. This feature is provided to some Bluetooth phones.
