does this unit pick up the phone every time I get into the car

I turn my cell phone off every evening and if necessary, put in on my charger. So, each morning I verify that my cell phone is connected with blue tooth. When I enter my vehicle each morning, I press and hold the activation button until the unit beeps indicating that cell and this unit is connected. Thereafter, when you receive a call the ECO will sound indicating that a call is coming in. At that time, you press the activation button to connect you with the caller. When you finish your call you push the activation button to terminate the call. The ECO device only comes with a car charger. However, check your home cell phone charger as it may be compatible for charging the unit. I'm enjoying my unit and you will too.

I purchased this item for my niece and I have to tell you the quality of the microphone is one of the best I have heard. The phone does automatically connect, but two things have to happen. 1. The phone and the speaker phone need to be on and the Bluetooth connected. 2. The speakerphone needs to have a good charge, so if it isn't connecting try plugging it in to charge it. The charge lasts for about a week with casual use.

The unit does go into a low power 'sleep' after you've moved far enough away from it. If you're car is within 30 feet of where you are it will likely stay connected. This happened to me just the other day. Once you're back in the car just tap the call button and it will wake up and connect to your phone.

It should connect automatically if your phone is in/near the car when you turn the car on.

Absolutely! But only if your cell provider doesn't pick it up first. You may be able to set your cell phone to pick up after 5 rings, in which case the home phone answerer will pick it up first. Hope that helps.

Seems to...it should update every time it is brought back into your home...I'm still finding a way that if someone calls our land line that it would read from my cellphone contacts but haven't found that yet. But, when someone calls the cell and the phone system rings it's been working great to show the contact info. It also will store all current cell contacts even when your cell is not "linked" to the phone system. Very handy for looking up and dialing from the land line!

My car has a display that shows incoming call, so I push that. I believe there is a button on the device that you push. It has worked well

If I understand what your questing no it will take it an sync to the speakers in the car. According to the manual it does stream phone calls, but I have never used that function. It will auto connect automatically. Sometimes after charging you do have to re sync, but that is infrequent.

It will. If a signal is in the area, it will pick it up . Just follow directions in the manual. Try WiFi calling if your mobile allows it.its a plus for me.

Yes, I use mine that way all of the time. You will just have to read the car manual to find out how to set it up. It does keep the ipod harged

Not necessarily. When calls come in on my 2011 S5 it stops the music, but the call comes in on the phone, not the car speakers. if you switch it to speakerphone it automatically switches back to regular phone. It's really annoying so I just turn off bluetooth at that point and use the speakerphone. It also periodically drops the bluetooth for 10-15 seconds maybe once every 15-20 minutes.

Yes. If your radio is running and you get a call, it stops the radio and the call conversation comes out of the car speakers.

It will reconnect automatically. This model will also start playing your music when you get back in the car without you having to start it again.

Yes. To an extent. When you pick up the dummy handset all that data is cleared.

I believe it's blue tooth. The cell phone will be noticed within 50 feet of the automobile by the unit. Usually, by the time you open the door, the unit is speaking, letting you know that you are connected.

No! as far as i know it just gives you better pickup for your cell phone to reach out further. D
