Truly hands free
(5 out of 5) by B. Babb on Dec 4, 2008 (Virginia Beach, VA United States)A great unit for those who live in "hands free" states to legally allow the use of your cell phone without taking your hands off the wheel.
The microphone for the CB radio also houses the Bluetooth microphone. You do not push the button to talk on your cell phone, but if the mike is not mounted near the driver's face, you may need to hold it in order to be heard.
While driving in a semi, it works well to cancel out the noise of the truck from the background.
In addition, the advantages over mobile Bluetooth devices is that you do not need to recharge this unit. If you spend a lot of time in a vehicle, this is a good product for you.
Do be careful with the microphone, however. It is not the standard 4-pin microphone used on virtually all CB radios today but instead has six pins. If the microphone is damaged beyond use or must be replaced, a special microphone with the Bluetooth technology is required to continue using the unit.

Awesome way to be hands free in a truck
(5 out of 5) by Jason M. Babila on Sep 7, 2008 (Renton, WA)I have a Cobra 29LTD BT radio in the truck and it is a wonderful way to be hands free while driving, you have the option to add an external mic and have it closer to you. it is easy with a press of a button on the mic to answer a call.

Great CB
(5 out of 5) by J. Kraft on May 25, 2009 (Warminster, PA)This CB works great. The Bluetooth is a great feature, especially since I do a lot of driving in New Jersey where it is illegal to talk on a cellphone while driving.

Works geat
(5 out of 5) by Joe V. Macaluso on Apr 26, 2009The bluetooth works very well on this CB. It meets my needs perfectly. I drive a truck and the only time I get frustrated with my Cobra is when I am walking around the truck. My phone will ring in my pocket but I can not answer it because it is connected to the bluetooth. I have to run back to my CB to talk. Thats my fault not the CBs.

Best blue tooth. Everyone thinks I'm calling from home
(5 out of 5) by W. Jimenez on Jul 30, 2009 (Phoenix, AZ USA)Best Cobra 29 to date. Excellent blue tooth. Sounds better than my phone alone. Everyone thinks I'm calling from home, and don't hear all the back ground noise of my truck. I did have a shop turn down the lights for me since all my driving is at night and I keep the cb mounted to my right just above eye level (I've had other brands turned down as well so that is no major issue). I only wish they made the other Cobra models with bluetooth like the 148, or made a bluetooth add-on kit for other brands and greatly increase sales to the CB enthusiasts loyal to other CB brands. A+ Cobra!!
