In recent years, a very convenient option has gained great popularity - a speakerphone for the car. Thanks to this system, it is possible to synchronize a mobile phone with the car’s multimedia system, making it possible to carry on a conversation using the car’s standard speakers in hands-free mode.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a system and is it possible to make it yourself on machines that do not have it - we will talk about all this in this article.
The history of the appearance of a speakerphone in a car for talking on the phone
The reason for the appearance of public address systems for cars was, of course, the tightening of legislation regarding the use of mobile phones while driving a car.
The fact is that the legislation of most countries of the world prohibits the use of a mobile phone while driving a car, allowing only hands-free conversation using Hands Free systems. It is for this reason that engineers came up with the idea of integrating telephone communication functions into the multimedia system.
Technically, such a modification looked very simple. Indeed, a car's audio system includes the main component - speakers capable of reproducing sound. Embedding a microphone and ensuring interconnection with the phone is a matter of minor technical and software integration, but the benefits of the option turn out to be quite a lot.
The first public address systems in a car were synchronized via a radio with a telephone via a wire. Later, with the development of wireless technologies for transmitting voice and data via the Bluetooth protocol, multimedia systems began to use this wireless channel for synchronization, and the appearance of modern displays in radio tape recorders made it possible to use them not only for transmitting voice data, but also for reading text messages received on a mobile phone. driver's phone number.

Today, systems for integrating smartphones and on-board multimedia are highly developed. The car's audio system is capable of supporting the full range of functions of a modern mobile phone, including voice communication, Internet access, use of Internet instant messengers, etc. In this case, if there is an incoming call, the sound of the audio system is automatically muted, and after its completion, music playback resumes.
Do-it-yourself speakerphone into a car via radio
Of course, a speakerphone system in a car is a very convenient thing. However, this option is not provided in all cars, at least in the standard version. At the same time, dealers very often offer this option for an additional payment, which can range from 20 thousand rubles or more. It goes without saying that such an overpayment often turns out to be unprofitable, and many car owners deliberately refuse additional costs.
However, in reality, you can organize a speakerphone in your car with your own hands at minimal cost. So, let's see what possibilities exist for organizing hands-free communication in a car on your own.
Perhaps the simplest from a technical organization point of view is a wired connection between a mobile phone and a radio. It can be organized very easily, provided that your car's radio is equipped with an AUX connector. In essence, this connector is a traditional 3.5 mm headphone output for a corresponding plug, familiar to all owners of audio players and mobile phones.
These days, almost all cell phones have the same connector for connecting a wired headset or regular headphones. So, if your car radio is equipped with such an output, and it is also present on your mobile phone, then we can assume that the problem is solved.
All that is required to organize a hands-free connection into a car via a radio with your own hands is to purchase a jack-jack cable with a pair of 3.5 mm connectors, the same as those used in headphones. Similar wires can be found in almost any electronics store.
By connecting the telephone and the radio using such a wire, we get a working public address system. Its only drawback is that to answer a call you will need to press a button directly on the telephone, and the telephone itself will be connected by a wire to the radio. In addition, during a conversation, the microphone located inside the phone will be used, and therefore the audibility of the interlocutor may deteriorate.
It is much more difficult if the radio is not equipped with the appropriate connector. In principle, at this stage, many motorists may give up on the idea of organizing a public address system, but if you have some skills in working with electronics and knowledge of circuit design, you can try to make the system yourself using widely available components.
There are two ways here - install an AUX connector in the radio yourself, or take a more complicated route and create a wireless circuit that works, like the factory counterparts, using the Bluetooth wireless data transfer protocol. The last option only seems complicated, but in reality it turns out to be even simpler than the first option. So let's see how this can be organized.
The first option may be to purchase and install a factory hands-free kit. This kit consists of a wireless module, microphone and speaker, or outputs for integration with audio system speakers. The connection diagram of the device depends on its technical features and is carried out in accordance with the instructions and diagram supplied with the product. The price of such a module is about one, two, or three thousand rubles.
There is another option that is suitable for electronics lovers. You can make a wireless speakerphone for your car yourself, using as a basis... a regular wireless Bluetooth headset. To do this, you will need, strictly speaking, the headset itself (an old, functional product will do just fine), as well as an old non-working radio receiver, which can become a “donor” for spare parts, including, for example, an ULF TDA7385 type microcircuit or similar.
Conventionally, the scheme can be divided into four main blocks:
- Directly the headset, which outputs contacts from the speaker, microphone and power. If the contacts are disconnected from the power supply, the built-in battery is removed.
- ULF circuit. It is better to use a microcircuit that has “standby” and “mute” outputs, which will make it possible to control the current consumed by the device.
- A power supply, the manufacture of which should be approached very responsibly. It should be remembered that standard telephone headsets are very sensitive to power, and increasing the voltage can easily damage the device, and you will not be able to restore it.
- An automatic control unit, the task of which is to monitor the signal at the output of the former headset and close the low-power relay, which will supply voltage to the input that mutes the sound of the radio, as well as to the “standby” and “mute” connectors of the ULF in order to turn on the speakers.
The constructed device allows you to use all the functions of a wireless headset “linked” to a car radio. That is, the phone is synchronized with the headset according to the standard scheme, but the voice is transmitted not to the headset, but to the speakers of the radio.
Video - do-it-yourself speakerphone into a car via a radio:
In addition, the headset microphone can be extended and placed in any convenient place as close as possible to the driver. Accordingly, the quality of voice transmission will be at a high level.
Of course, many readers will ask whether it makes sense to go to such lengths. Perhaps this question can be answered affirmatively only if you have the necessary components and an old, unused wireless headset. Otherwise, purchasing a ready-made hands-free module will be even cheaper, not to mention a significantly simpler installation scheme.
Results
As we can see, it is quite possible to make a speakerphone through a radio in a car with your own hands. In some cases, such design changes are justified. However, do not forget that these tips are suitable, first of all, for owners of used cars.
In the case of a new car, we would like to warn owners against this kind of “modification”. This is connected not only and not so much with technical difficulties, but with the issue of warranty on the car.
When getting behind the wheel of a car, the driver must look at the road extremely carefully and not be distracted by foreign objects. This will allow him to get to the designated place quickly and without incident. But, as practice shows, even while driving, it is sometimes necessary to have conversations on the phone. But doing this without taking your hands off the steering wheel is quite difficult and is only possible with additional devices.

Speakerphone, a Bluetooth headset for a car has unique capabilities. Thanks to high technology, the driver can drive and have a conversation with the subscriber through the radio.
In some amplifiers, these filters can be adjusted - one filter is boosted, the other is suppressed. You can adjust the desired sound yourself. There are usually two types of filter controls - when you can freely adjust the strength of the filter and when choosing a path, predefined filter combinations.
The standard is 4 ohms, but of course, if you have the option of choosing a lower impedance, do so yourself. For everything, check if the amplifier's impedance is lower than the speakers. If the speaker impedance is higher, the amplifier will be weak and the result will be weak.

Incoming feedback from users confirms this. They encourage you to evaluate quality and functionality large quantity beautiful headsets with unique technical data.
First of all, about the speakers. By design, the three most commonly used speakers are full-range full-range, full-range coaxial, and full-range components. The first frequency of the speakers is from 100 Hz to 10 kilohertz. Due to their low cost and ease of installation, these speakers are commonly used in factory sound systems and come with new vehicles.
Wideband coaxial speakers can be called a multi-speaker system. This loudspeaker is made in an oval or elliptical shape. True, full-range coaxial speakers are more suitable for rear speakers due to their specific design, so professionals do not recommend installing them in the front of the cabin.

To protect both drivers and others, you can install a speakerphone in the car. It is convenient, practical and inexpensive.
What is needed for this?
To install a speakerphone in your car, you can connect your phone to the radio and mount a microphone, or purchase a special device that provides “ free hands" You can buy it at any household and audio equipment store. This device looks like a small radio receiver that works by connecting via Bluetooth to a phone.
In addition to such a device, you can also use a mini-speaker - this is a small device that has a clothespin and is attached to the driver’s clothing or directly to the steering wheel, thereby providing complete freedom of hands. It's up to you to decide which device to choose to provide hands-free communication in your car.
Important! All listed devices are compatible with any phone model, be it Nokia, Apple iPhone, HTC, Samsung and others. The main thing is that the phone supports the Bluetooth function, and then speakerphone will be provided.
How to connect?
Installing a headset in a car for hands-free calling with your own hands is not difficult even for someone who is not well versed in technology. Consider the option of connecting a speakerphone using a telephone and a radio.
To do this, the receiver must support Bluetooth and have a microphone included.
So, to establish hand-free (hands-free communication), you must follow the instructions:
- install the radio;
- insert the plug into the microphone jack;
- attach the microphone to the sun visor on the driver's side;
