Scosche BTFreq Pro Hands-Free Wireless car kit review The BTFreq Pro makes your day-to-day life a little easier. Having a combo fast-charge and FM modulator in a compact unit is a nice little gadget if you don’t have a Bluetooth or 3.5mm aux plug on the your car stereo. Bluetooth doesn’t help either if you run it all day long. Besides, if you’ve ever used your GPS you know it sucks down the power like no tomorrow. Hands-free operation of your smartphone while you’re driving isn’t just about convenience, it’s the law.
The Scosche BTFreq Pro wireless hands-free car kit provides the convenience of Bluetooth over FM modulation without swapping out your in dash receiver and keeps you fast charging while on-the-go. We couldn’t recommend something so cheaply constructed.No Bluetooth or no aux port in your car? No headphone jack on your phone? No problem. The adhesive ring remained firmly stuck to the dashboard, but otherwise that floppy rubber mat was barely holding on. What was even more annoying, however, was that the anti-slip rubber mat on the bottom kept getting detached from the rubber base. However, it also limits access to the buttons on the side of your phone. The Boysnoy Dashboard Car Phone Holder was the only horizontal model we tested where the phone didn’t buckle under the pressure from our fingers. The iPow Anti-Slip Silicone Dashboard Pad suffered from a similar problem-although it came with a few custom rubber bracket options that you can adjust to fit different phones, they all turned out to be too wobbly. If you just want to look at horizontal maps, it could be great, but any other interaction with the phone was basically impossible. The Loncaster Car Phone Holder was probably the best of the batch we looked at unfortunately, the lightweight silicone base didn’t support phones very well against the pressure of a tapping finger. While they were all impressively stable across different dashboards, they each proved difficult to use in their own unique ways.
We’d noticed that readers seemed to be interested in horizontally-oriented dashboard mounts, so we tested out several models that were either top sellers, or otherwise intriguing.
