Our energy saving gadget this week is one of the best ones yet, as it will save on your electricity bills and keep you from unnecessary penalty points.

We all know by now (or at least we should) that it’s illegal to use our mobile phones while driving. You can only use your mobile if it doesn’t require you to adapt your usual driving position, so basically, you can only use your mobile if you have a hands free kit – and we definitely know how expensive it can be to get one of them fitted by a professional.

So why go to the bother of getting someone to drill holes in your car when you can have the same result with the LG Solar power Bluetooth car kit? It’s definitely one of the handiest (or in this case, handiest-free … sorry) gadgets we’ve tested to date.

Now, there are some excellent wired hands free kits out there, but most of them have two major flaws that the LG Solar power Bluetooth car kit doesn’t even think about. Firstly, they drain the battery out of your car and there’s nothing worse than having to get someone to give you a jump start – especially if it’s a stranger. Secondly, the wires can often get in your way and cause you more stress then they’re designed to relieve, unlike the wireless LG Solar power Bluetooth car kit.

It really is the perfect gadget for anyone that has a car and a mobile phone

The cool features don’t just stop at the fact that it’s wireless. With its built-in solar panel it discreetly charges anytime there is sunlight knocking about, so it’s an environmentally friendly choice. Also, if your mobile phone is low on power you can simply connect it to the car kit with the supplied cables for an emergency charge. Believe us when we say this feature comes in really, really handy.

So you’re probably thinking that because it’s wireless the signal coming from the device has to be ropey, right? Wrong. It boasts high-quality sound output, thanks to noise-reduction and echo-cancellation technology. Basically, it’s just as good, if not better, than it’s wired cousins.

You can get a lengthy talk time of up to 16 hours with the LG Solar power Bluetooth car kit and standby time is up to 1,000 hours. What’s also cool is the kit’s multi connection option, which allows users to connect up to two handsets simultaneously. Perfect for when the missus is in the car with you.

The LG Solar power Bluetooth car kit can be yours right now for just €90.42 on the Electric Ireland Online Store.
