NextGen Venturi today announces the Venturi Mini, the new music phone and MP3 adapter for in-car music and voice calls. When plugged into a vehicle's 12 volt adapter, the Venturi Mini uses Bluetooth to stream stereo music from the phone and wirelessly route calls through the in-car sound system. The Venturi Mini also has a built-in charger to power your devices on the move and is designed to work with all vehicles.

The Venturi Mini becomes a personalized in-car radio station, playing music from your MP3 enabled phone using wireless A2DP Bluetooth technology. Featuring Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, the Venturi Mini allows high quality stereo audio to be transferred from your phone or MP3 player. You can connect up to four separate Bluetooth devices and also attach your iPod or MP3 player by cable.

A new generation of digital FM transmitter using RDBS technology displays information on the in-vehicle radio screen, including phonebook contacts, device menus and calling party identification. The Venturi Mini will automatically pause music to answer incoming calls and resume playback afterward.

Unique to the Venturi Mini is the ability to charge your devices on the go, featuring a standard USB style 5v port. The Venturi Mini will continue to play music, take and make calls and ensure you arrive with your devices charged and ready to go. Additional features include an auto-sensing audio-in socket for MP3 players, advanced noise reduction technology to minimize background noise and an ambient light sensor that adjusts the white OLED display’s brightness for all conditions. A stereo audio-out connection also provides a direct connection to the car audio system.

The Venturi Mini has an MSRP of $129 and will be available for retail nationwide December 2007.
