BlueTraks intros Bluetooth / iPod-friendly BT-211 handsfree car kit

While there's certainly no shortage of handsfree liaisons made for your whip, we're not going to complain with a bit more competition, and BlueTraks is trying to make a name for itself by hitting us up with the nicely-spec'd BT-211 series. The 5.45- x 2.9- x 2-inch design most definitely avoids any hints of a curve, but the 4.3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display, miniSD card slot, and iPod connectivity help to alleviate the questionable styling. Aside from touting Bluetooth, voice recognition, and a front-mounted USB 2.0 port, this nifty conglomerate also boasts a few inputs / outputs (pictured after the jump) not typically found on a run-of-the-mill handsfree kit. On the unit's rear you'll find ports for your iPod (along with a tailored control interface), any other DAP, a hardwired hookup to your factory amplifiers / speakers, audio in, and in a forthcoming rendition, satellite radio and even a navigation interface for those thinking about installing this in their dash. Sadly, we've no hard dates regarding availability, nor any indication of a price range, but we definitely dig where this handsfree car kit is going.

looks like it was built from parts from RadioSnak.
while those plugs are easy to come by, they do not look to be any kind of standard interfaces, except for the line in and out and they aren't even clearly labeled!

Yea, why didn't they use the standard bluetooth, satillite radio, and navigator connectors. By the way, has anyone ever seen those "standard" connectors before? Impressive though, don't think that I've seen anyone else with all those functions in one unit.
