BASKING RIDGE, NJ, and SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Verizon Wireless customers can use the new Venturi Mini from NextGen Venturi Ltd. to listen to the music on their wireless phones through their car stereo systems. The company with the nation’s most reliable wireless voice and data network and NextGen Venturi Ltd. today announced the availability of the Venturi Mini, a plug and play car audio FM transmitter that streams music and calls from stereo Bluetooth®-enabled music phones through any in-car stereo system.
The Venturi Mini is simple to use – a few quick steps can have any music aficionado rockin’ out in minutes. To use the Venturi Mini, a customer first plugs it into a 12 volt power adapter in any vehicle and then pairs the Mini with a stereo Bluetooth-capable music phone. Up to four stereo Bluetooth devices can be paired to the Venturi Mini for music streaming or hands-free calling on multiple devices. The Venturi Mini uses the highest quality stereo Bluetooth A2DP technology for music streaming from any A2DP-enabled music phone or MP3 player. The final step is to set the phone to play – then listen to the music through the sound system in the car.
The Venturi Mini is as versatile as it is functional. Once a device has been paired, it will be automatically paired every time the vehicle is turned on – even if the device is left in the customer’s pocket. Should a call come through while the music is playing, the music pauses automatically so the call can be answered hands-free using the Venturi’s built-in noise-filtering microphone and heard clearly through the car stereo speakers. The song resumes once the call is complete, without having to touch any buttons on the Venturi Mini.
Verizon Wireless customers can purchase the Venturi Mini for $129.99 online at www.verizonwireless.com. No installation is required.
