Jupiter Jack Hands Free Set Problems

As we all know there are no products in the world that are 100% perfect and the Jupiter Jack is no exception. I think that the Jupiter Jack is a great product but I am also not afraid to report about the problems that it does have. When someone is trying to decide whether the Jupiter Jack is for them it is very important for them to read about potential problems. For some the problems may not be an issue at all but for others it may be enough to change their minds about whether they want the product. I don't anticipate that the problems I have listed below will deter many people from purchasing the Jupiter Jack but I feel it is important for people to know what they are getting before they spend the money and potentially have to go through the return process. Perhaps I am even doing the manufacturer a favor and turning away customers that would ultimately return the product and wouldn't have purchased it in the first place.

Jupiter Jack Problems

Privacy Concerns - If you are using your Jupiter Jack then there is always a slight risk of privacy invasion. The issue comes into play when you are talking on your Jupiter Jack and someone else is driving near you. If the people driving around you happened to have their radio tuned to the exact station that you had your Jupiter Jack set to then it is possible that they could pick up your phone call. Generally the chances of this happening are very slim because you have to tune your Jupiter Jack to a frequency that doesn't have a radio station so there is no reason that anyone else around you would have their radio set to a static filled frequency that didn't have a radio station broadcasting on it.

Jupiter Jack Use With Multiple People In Your Car - The Jupiter Jack is a great product but since it is broadcasted over your car stereo speakers you can't hold a private conversation while others are in the car with you. This isn't a design problem or flaw but just something to consider. If you usually drive alone then it shouldn't be an issue but if you are almost always driving with someone else you either won't be able to use it or won't be able to have private conversations.

Compatibility With All Cell Phones - The Jupiter Jack manufacturers claim that it can work with all cell phones but I have a hard time believing that this is true. The only reasons I say this is because they would have had to test all cell phones in order to be sure. The Jupiter Jack probably works with 99.9% of cell phones and this shouldn't be a concern when you make your purchase. Just be sure to try it within the first 30 days so you can get a refund if it happens to not work with your cell phone.

Jupiter Jack Reception Issues - In some cases people are unable to get good reception with the Jupiter Jack because there are actual radio stations broadcasting on nearly all of the preset frequencies for the FM transmitter. If this is the case you will probably have to just return your Jupiter Jack and go with a bluetooth headset instead. Most people are able to find an unused station within the large set of preset frequencies that are available. It is my hope that in the future Jupiter Jack will broaden the range of presets available so that it will give buyers more frequency options and thus eliminate reception issues.
