It’s a fact that in-car smartphone usage is a dangerous driving distraction and<br />
manually adjusting phone settings before getting on the road is a time-consuming<br />
hassle. Cobra recently released its one-of-a-kind Cobra JoyRide, a 12-volt smart<br />
charging system for your car that automatically personalizes and reconfigures<br />
Android smartphones upon entering or exiting your vehicle. The unit retails for<br />
$39.95 at www.cobra.com and initiates phone events and configurable settings<br />
automatically just by connecting the Android smartphone via micro-USB to the<br />
Cobra JoyRide charger.<br />
The free companion Android app communicates with the JoyRide Charger,<br />
offering tons of flexibility for personalization. Pushing a single button on the<br />
12-volt JoyRide smart charger can initiate phone calls, launch voice commands,<br />
share information about road hazards and police, pause and play music and even<br />
launch GPS navigation apps or other favorite in-car applications. The easy-to-use<br />
interface also gives you control over power settings for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and<br />
it can even save the GPS location of your parking spot and guide you to it later.<br />
