Bluetooth – The Next Generation’s Addition to the Car CD Mp3 Player
The Bluetooth function has a long and interesting history, but only in recent years it has been utilised as a way of communicating whilst in the car. The Bluetooth feature on a car CD Mp3 player enables you to make and receive calls without even touching a button on your phone – like magic! This updated version of handsfree lets you access all the information on your phone, including the phone book, as well as stream music. This marvellous piece of technology lets you access everything you might need whilst on the move without even pressing a single button
The Bluetooth technology originates from five major players on the communications market, including the Scandinavian company Ericsson, who had the original idea; Toshiba, IBM, Nokia and Intel. Combining their expertises, in mobile communications, laptops and digital signal processing technology, they spread Bluetooth around the world by the 21st century.
Yet, the name ‘Bluetooth’ comes from a time long before such technologies. Between 9AD and 10AD, the Danish King Harald Blatand, whose last name in English means ‘Bluetooth’, united the Nordic regions of Denmark and Norway. Just like King Harald Blatand’s uniting of lands, the modern day ‘Bluetooth’ unites two very different technologies.
Uniting two technologies via Bluetooth lets you connect to your phone and music quickly and easily. As soon as you start the engine, after pairing the two devices, your car CD/Mp3 stereo immediately connects to your phone, hence if you are already playing music or making a call, these will be instantaneously transferred to your stereo.
Wireless technology has come far in the last ten years or so, and as other technologies have advanced, so has Bluetooth. It use to be used for transferring data from mobile to mobile, now it has advanced so much that you can connect your mobile phone to a car stereo. Bluetooth has altered the way we use car stereos and revolutionised methods of communication and entertainment.
