Jabra Journey Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone System $39 + Free Shipping

Purchased, repped. Thanks!

Quote from hahahaha : Where is it on Costco's website?

Just click on the "sales" and then scroll down- it doesn't say the price, but if whoever said it was $50 that doesn't seem like a bad deal then especially with the return policy and if it is a newer and better product.

This is a great item. We currently have 2 of them. The automatic on feature is one of the best. How many times have you had a call come in while you are driving and you forgot to turn your speakerphone on. For the most part, you'll never have to worry about that again.

Not a perfect system however. The bluetooth range is stronger than it needs to be. As an example - be talking on the phone as you approach the car, open and close a door or the trunk and if you are still outside your car, chances are you will loose incoming audio because it will have switched over to the speakerphone (that is inside the car). Or go out to your car, and then run back into the house to get something - the bluetooth may be connected, it may not (when you finally do start driving. As long as you are aware of these pittfalls, no problem, easy to workaround.

The battery seems to last forever in this thing. Jabra does however recommend that you do a full charge once a month. Charger is nice in that it works both in the car, and in the house.

I would absolutely buy this item again for the auto-on feature. Not all Jabra models do this, but the Journey does.

Quote from Graphikzking : I know some people have specific openings. Crutchfield gives you step by step instructions. And "hacking" your dash is really an overstatement and makes people think they have to start cutting. I've only installed about 6 car stereos but not once did I have to "hack" or cut anything. Most of the time it's just a plastic cover that clips into place and gives you an extra storage slot. I stated this items benefits in my post. I don't feel like this is a "car speakerphone system". It has nothing to do with the car other than it has a clip on the back. You can clip it to your shirt, to a visor etc. It has a nice standby time (2-3 months). There are regular bluetooth speakers that do the same thing with better sound. There are also dozens of others that do the same thing for half the price: http://www.cellphoneshop.net/slsi...4AodUi0AFw Even best buy has the same price for similar things: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocke...OgodCB0A2A Ebay BRAND new Motorola is standard price: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Motor...%26ps%3D54 I'm really not threadcrapping - or at least I don't mean to. I don't want someone else reading it like I did and order it thinking it will mute their car radio or anything.

Quote from Graphikzking : Here is a much better solution in my opinion: http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-...rds=vm-605 The blackberry uses FM to run the sound through your car. So if you want to play pandora, MP3, iheartradio whatever on your phone and run google navigation at the same time it will all work. You can play music, run the nav and it will mute the music while the nav tells you where to go , then go back to the music automatically. If a call comes in, it will mute both of them and go to the phone call. That is more along the lines of what I was expecting when I saw "car system". If the Jabra included (or includes) these features then I'm sorry for not reading it better.

You weren't thread crapping. Some people here just Like when I said Kohls sucks in one thread, someone mod alerted it and I got a warning telling me not to thread crap. Everyone has an opinion, that's what we're here for is to post and discuss deals. I've had plenty of bad experiences with Kohls, same with Walmart. So that's my opinion. You were giving some alternatives and some information some people, like myself, might not of known about. I appreciate it! And i'm sure a lot of other people do too, so don't feel discouraged

Additional information: When you get this item, hook it up thru your computer to Jabra's website to flash the latest firmware to your unit.

THANKS OP in for 2 these will be good for someone for christmas!

I've read reviews of this one as well as the Gogroove model, and decided to go with the gogroove model for music/streaming radio option.

My civic has the aux input, so that I don't have to use the FM transmitter for much better sound.

Only thing I am not sure is how the mic will pick up while I am drive. Jabra sits right above your head, so, I have to guess that the voicecall would be much better with Jabra. For listening to audio, it would be much better with Gogroove via car speaker.

Will see...I would like to get the best of both world, but at this point, my research is pointing me to the Gogroove option. Once it is received, I will do some testing as well. This sounds like a winner as well.

I don't see it. Search with Jabra comes back with nothing on Costco's website. I don't see the sale link either, unless I am missing something.

Quote from slickdicker : What is the updated version of this?

looks like this:

this is what costco is selling now. i saw a few of the jabra journeys still on the shelf, but i chose this because it looked nicer and i was guessing is newer and should be improved.

As folks have said earlier, jabra is lound enough, you don't have to even go till the full vol. So what's the point of having the call comming out of your car speakers. Also to use Gogroove you probably have to keep your car's audio on while Jabra is independent of your car's speaker systerm

I think the Gogroove will auto-mute your car speakers when a call comes, which I think would be a really nice feature that the Jabra is missing. I still picked up the Jabra for my wife's car though.

my car has aux input, i've tried projecting phone calls through it and its loud but the person on the other line hears themselves because theres an echo.

also there is no noise canceling, and the phone needs to be mounted to be close to you to talk.

the jabra is pretty awesome and i used to not be a believer but after using it for a week i'm sold.

They raised the price to $60-$10 now.
