Your phone doesn't work well in your car A car contains many metallic parts that absorb electromagnetic waves which can affect the phone's performances. A car kit is available to provide you with an external antenna and enables you to make and receive phone calls without handling the handset. Check with local authorities if car radio interference is likely to occur.
