“The AB-900 is perfect for consumers who are on the road often and want to optimize their time in the car, staying safe as they stay in touch or enjoying their music whenever and wherever the road takes them,” Sten said.
 
The AB900 is designed to make hands-free calling easier and safer by pausing music when a user takes an incoming call and resuming it when a call ends. The AB900 will help users stay connected wherever they are, in the office for conference calls or at home for hands-free chatting – no installation required.
