It recognizes them right out of the box. As for compatibility with handsets, Motorola states that any Bluetooth phone that supports the Hands-free Profile should work with the IHF1000, but you'll want to check with your phone manufacturer to make sure. Also, note that professional installation is required for the IHF1000 system.

Customer Reviews:

• Good product, bad manufacturers information
  Amazon had the best price for this product and it was delivered quickly. What the Motorola product information dosent explain is that for many, many cars, like my 2004 XJ8, is that for the device to operate as described through the factory sound system, additional wiring harness' are required. In the case of my Jag i n need three more harness' and the additional cost is $196 for the wiring. This is not Amazon's fault. I got lucky and found a good vendor for the needed stuff. I recommend that you contact your installer prior to purchase and ask if he has installed the device in you particular make and model, in the configuration you intend...more info
• I LOVE THIS THING!!!!
  We had it installed by Best Buy. It was about $100 to install in my Saab convertible and they did an excellent job. This thing is great! Even with the convertible top down you can still hear the calls quite clearly and those to whom I am speaking can hardly tell, there is very little wind noise. Very easy to program and use. I give this product my highest recommendation!...more info
• Great Bluetooth Device
  Awsome device! I had purchased this online and had it installed at Best Buy. They did a great job installing it. The device is fantastic! THe voice on the system is clear and easily heard. THe speaker is nice and loud even with the windows open. The only thing that I had issues with is if your car radio does not have the mute wire built in you must use the speaker. Also, you must be sure to say the numbers clearly or the system will get confused an say the wrong numbers. Otherwise, this device is wonderful and well worth the money. Great job Moto!!...more info
• Very Satisfied
  I searched for over a month trying to get the best quality hands free car kit. In California after July 1, 2008 it will be a big fine if you are driving and holding a phone to your ear. I tried bluetooth ear buds as well as wired ear and headsets. They either didn't stay paired or my ear felt like it had been ran over by a truck weeks after I wore a ear bud. My application is in a company truck that gets heavy use. I finally decided on the IHF1000. I just went ahead and installed the supplied speaker for the time being and may order the Y harness later. Apparently a switcher is needed also from what I have read. Haven't been able to find these anywhere except [...]. Any way I am real happy so far with the sound quality. The small supplied speaker has pretty decent sound. Surprised that this product has been on the market this long after reading some of the product reviews and seeing the date. I got a new motorola i580 Nextell a month prior to getting the IHF1000 which paired up nice and easy. Never fails to recognize my phone as soon as the ignition is turned on. I noticed when setting up contacts, it does not help to yell at this thing as it just keeps repeating the wrong numbers. It works good if you just talk normal. One of the other reviewers described exactly the voice recognition when adding a contact. Also noticed that if you are adding contacts, when you first add a contact it doesn't give you a lot of time to make a choice. After you have a contact added to the list, it will wait indefinately until you begin talking again to add more contacts. I would have liked to be able to store many more contacts, my phone is for business and I make many calls a day sometimes on the phone 90% of the time. The mute and answering another call putting call #1 on hold works good. If I need to call a client that is not in the contact list, I can still call using my cell phone buttons. The call goes through and it resumes using the IHF1000 speaker and microphone. It seems to work with Nextell push to talk function OK. It's too bad the Y harness isn't included for the car speakers and power leads, but then every manufacturer uses a different connector. Overall very happy with my IHF1000 so far. I can see this product being out of stock in the near future as the demand is going to be very high, which I did not want to wait to the last minute.

• Much better than earpeices
  This unit works great. Is much better than having to worry about the batteries in an earpeice. I did not use the speaker that it comes with. I purchased a wiring harness that allowed me to plug in directly into my stereo. The unit mutes the stereo and plays the audio over the truck speakers. I will be buying one for my girlfriend it works so well....more info
• Excellent purchase!
  I'm very pleased with the quality of this product. It is just as good as most factory installed bluetooth I've seen and heard on some new model automobiles. The voice recognition has worked great... not a single misdialed number. I had it professionally installed for $50. Be aware that the radio interface only works on newer model automobiles; say the last three years or so. On my older model car, I am relying on the 5 inch speaker which is included in the kit. It works very well. We'll be buying a second kit for my wife's car....more info
• Easy to install and use
  I installed the IHF1000 in a 2007 Dodge Caliber using a Metra ABTI-CH3 Bluetooth OE intergration kit. It was truely a plug and play kit. Instlation takes about an hour. The Motorola IHF1000 works as advertised....more info
