Wi-Ex In-Car Signal Booster
Bars in your cars
It’s not pretty, but it gets the job done.
Okay, so this Wi Ex In-Car Signal Booster isn’t the sexiest thing on the market. Actually, we’ll just give it to you straight: with the interior patch antenna on your front windshield and the external magnetic mount up on top of your car like a malnourished, off-center fin – it’s kind of an eye soar. But let’s consider two other things, shall we:
1. In a lot of states, you’re already supposed to be wearing some sort of hands-free headset to talk on your phone in the car; and…
2. If you need a thing like this, you’re probably not driving through the most densely populated area.
Basically, what we’re saying is, you already look stupid with that earpiece thing in your ear, but hey who really cares because no one’s going to see you or your car out in the middle of nowhere anyway. So just buy it if you need an extra bar or two in your car, because it actually does work. Unless you have Nextel. Then there’s nothing we can do to help you…

Features:
- The zBoost YX230 car cell phone booster uses two antennas and a small amplifier to create a “cell zone” inside your car. The external antenna grabs a nearby cellular signal, and transmits it to the amplifier. The amplifier sends a beefed-up signal to the second antenna which repeats the signal inside your car for dramatically improved reception.
- Extends cell phone range (up to 10 times the signal strength), improving the signal strength for both voice and data
- Battery life is improved because the phone doesn’t work as hard to find a good signal
- Reduces dropped calls and dead zones, and works with multiple phones simultaneously
- The booster is compatible with all cellular phones and carriers, except Nextel
