The HFB-500 provides a handsfree Bluetooth solution to all motorists

LG has produced a solar-powered Bluetooth car kit that when in sunlight offers infinite battery life. The HFB-500 can be paired to two mobile phones at any one time via a Bluetooth connection, attaching effortlessly to a car windscreen. The device also doubles up as a charger for any LG handset thanks to a cable connection.

The HFB-500 uses natural sunlight to recharge its battery via its solar-panel backing. LG promises a quality audio experience thanks to its noise reduction and echo cancellation technology. The HFB-500 is available from June between £55 and £65.
