3. Install the Bluetooth car kit. It is a sipmle device with a fairly simple installation. Every Bluetooth car device comes with a step-by-step guide to help.

4. Keep in mind that however you choose to install your Bluetooth car kit, mount the microphone at the maximum 16 inches away from your face, either near the rearview mirror, headliner, or overhead console. This is to ensure easier reach and accessibility.

5. Make sure that the installed Bluetooth car kit does not interfere in any way with the mirrors, the seats or gearshift, and more importantly, the car's airbag.
