The new Nokia Plug-In Car Handsfree HF-3 offers users an easy-to-install solution for in-car communications*It consists of a built-in speaker and integrated microphone enabling good audio quality and a connecting cable featuring a Pop-Portä interface. Calls are handled via a compatible mobile phone without the need for any other components. The unit is powered by simply plugging the product into your car's 12 V-cigarette lighter socket.
