I understand that in order to use the hands-free feature, additional software (or app) is necessary. Does anyone know what it is? Is it on Googleplay?

You do not need any software. All you need to do is to program your device and the radio on the same frequency. You are good to go.

Hey Luis I bought this item. Once received just chage it and ready to use. No other item or app necessary. Hope this helps.. Hector

This device only transmits the audio of whatever is running (phone call, Pandora, etc) to your radio. It has no hands-free option. It's the same as using speakerphone option but it plays thru your car speakers.

If you're using the device and using your phone for a GPS as well (tested with google maps gps) then it will speak over your conversation to give you directions. Slightly annoying for the conversation, but at least you'll get where you're going. It does NOT allow music streaming through the device, ONLY phone and map voice. It also does NOT allow for google-chat voice conversation, ONLY phone and skype.

This means the connection between the cell phone and the hands free unit is via blue tooth. NOTE: I tried this with my iPhone 5 and it stopped working.

Thanks to you all for your help. I did set up voicemail but it is not working. But I'll try the trick from Jen--I'm desperate for help! The link to the manual is very kind, too. I still can't set use my NY Times subscription (the Droid app just fails and fails). Can't sign in to my Google stuff--the qwerty board refuses to appear when I'm asked for my password. Big sigh. At least I can phone out. Again, thanks to the community!

Same problem..can not figure out how to Accept a call waiting call. Read and re-read manual-no mention. Nothing on web site. I'm really starting to upset callers.Love the phone beyond that little quirk.

If you mean - make hands free phone calls - then you cannot. I'm disappointed too, there's no commands for it, perhaps an update will allow this in the future

You probably have to enable voice control or handsfree/carmode calling on your phone

I find headset controls frustrating on Android. It's been that way for a Droid Incredible 1 and Galaxy Nexus. More specifically, the response to play/pause while playing audio and the screen awaking with touch response upon answering/ending a call using any brand of headset with in-line headset controls.

I bought it for my wife. She loves the GPS but doesn't use the voice command. When talking to someone in the car, the GPS will join the conversation. Sorry I can't help with the voice command.

On my S4, that's the way it works. There's also an app you can install, that's adds some more customization to the voice and other features. You don't need the app for GPS, however.

Others say yes, but I can't find anything about it on the phone menus. Please tell us how!!!

If you have optional handset lifter all you do is press answer button on headset. Just got it yesterday. .works like a charm. If no handset lifter option then you must lift handset...did that for couple weeks.

it will take Skype and you will have to go to the play store to get the app. I put it in my self and have not used it, so I uninstall it

When I got it, I just got it to play music. Since it did not work for me and I returned it, I'm not sure if it works is a hands free blue tooth device for calls... Sorry!

No, it doesn't interfere with any of the hands-free on my device. The smart scroll and the air browse both still work just as they did without the protector. In fact the only difference I've been able to see from the bare glass is the tempered glass doesn't attract finger prints hardly at all, where as my bare screen smudged very easily. There really are no trade-offs here, it's all good things.

In using a Nexus 5 and did not have to change any settings to make hands free calling. Possible error in harness connection.
