Bluetooth car kits are usually pretty fuglicious, but Bluetrek is showing off a couple sunvisor-mounted NXT speaker-based units here at CES that are actually pretty nice. The SurfaceSound DUO (pictured) has a mini-USB port for docking in compatible BlueTrek headsets, and it'll charge 'em up while piping the audio through the speaker -- and if you aren't in a sharing mood, you can pull the headset out and carry on a conversation without interruption. We sort of prefer the SurfaceSound Compact, which is a straight Bluetooth speaker+mic kit, since it's a lot smaller, and doesn't lock you into one brand of headset. Check out tons more shots of both the DUO and the Compact in the gallery.

Wonderful until the sun shines in your eyes, swing phone into a 60mph gust and drive the wife deaf in one ear.

Perhaps you need to form the sentence properly before you just type away. Just sayin.

Whats the need for a flip out antenna? Are you not just about sitting under the thing?

Not an antenna. It's a combo microphone and on-off switch. Similar to the BlueAnt Supertooth that I have.

What a great idea....solves the problem of having to install a speaker and means you dont need to wear a headset either..
