LG HFB-500 solar-powered Bluetooth car kit

Filed under: Car Entertainment, Mobile Phones | by :Rien |

Register Hardware: If your job involves making a lot of phone calls in cars, or you just like to be available when you’re on the move, a Bluetooth headset or an easy-fit car kit is the best option.

The main problems with these, however, are that the battery tends to run down at crucial moments, and you need to plug it into your cigarette lighter, creating unsightly dangling wires around the driving area.

LG thinks it’s come up with a solution to both of these ills with a clip-on car kit that connects to your phone wirelessly over Bluetooth and charges itself with sunlight.

The HFB-500 is a compact block measuring 94 x 50 x 14mm and weighing a fairly lightweight 72g. It’s minimalist in the extreme with just a single, red multi-function button on the front, and volume up and down buttons, one on each side.

A nice, neat, cheapish hands-free option if you’re averse to wires or headsets.
