    JBL® Introduces Smartbase, Making Vehicles Smarter and Safer | HARMAN

    Introduced at CES 2017 -the JBL Smartbase transforms a smartphone into a personal driving assistant that mitigates distractions and provides users with a safer, more convenient driving experience. Once installed on the dashboard, the driver attaches their smartphone to the device to easily make calls, play music, access navigation apps and send messages through the JBL Smartbase’s voice control features supported by Siri and Google Now.
    JBL’s patented VoiceLogic Noise and Echo Noise Cancellation technology means drivers never have to worry about the quality of a conference call taken away from the office. The technology significantly reduces background noise when the car windows are open or the rooftop is down, delivering superior audio quality for phone calls.
    Drivers with the JBL Smartbase can also utilize safety technology features often found in the latest car models on the road. The integrated award-winning iOnRoad Android and iOS app provides a range of personal driving assistance functions including augmented driving and “black-box” like video. In addition, the JBL Smartbase works with Advanced Driver Assistant System apps to add lane departure and front collision warnings as well as traffic signal recognition technology, video recording capabilities and vehicle location options.

    Good product. It doesn't say if it's the phone will be stick to something magnetic or not. I looked everywhere to see if it is. Would the phone fly off to the dash if a hard turn is taken?
