Engadget: Germany manufacturer Peiker has released a new connection device, which they claim to be the “world’s first” system to integrate handsfree calling and music into your car’s stereo.
The device is meant to be “professionally installed” into your car’s stereo system, and allows you to converse wirelessly on your Bluetooth-enabled phone, stream tunes from your A2DP-enabled device, listen to your iPod via an optional cable, or connect any music device via a 3.5-millimeter aux input.
The diminutive device touts an intuitive-looking menu with oversized buttons to navigate from music to your address book and everywhere in between, but interestingly enough the “handsfree” aspect becomes somewhat laughable when many functions need a few button presses to get things in order.

Apart from the 3.5-millimeter aux input, Parrot already invented this, with a somewhat less oversized control panel.

It is hard to see how this is a worlds first, given the range of similar products available. Nice looking though.
