It’s no big secret that keeping your hands on the wheel (and eyes on the road) is paramount to safety while driving.  Your safety, the safety of your loved ones, and other drivers.  Some drivers choose to use Bluetooth earpieces which, while good, may still require the driver to hold their mobile phone to initiate or dial a call.

Merconnet has come out with a bluetooth-enabled Car Steering Wheel Adapter that takes a very different approach from other bluetooth spearkerphones and FM modulators on the market.  Since the Merconnet adapter is mounted *on* the steering wheel, the driver is able to answer the phone (and play music on their phone) right from the steering wheel.

A full review will be coming soon, so we can get some hands-on use out of the adapter and see whether being mounted directly on the steering wheel causes any issues with daily driving.
