WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY --We've all heard the warnings.. Talking on the cell phone while driving is dangerous. It's illegal in some states and cities. Now a product claims to free your hands, so you can talk without holding the phone. Consumer reporter Jeff Chirico is live in our parking lot to put the Jupiter Jack to the Tuesday Tryout.

It's fairly simple to use. Plug it in to your phone and it turns your car stereo into a speaker phone! Will it pass the Tuesday Tryout?


"Billy Mays here for Jupiter Jack. The most convenient hands free device for any cell phone guaranteed." One of Billy Mays last products --Jupiter Jack --uses your car stereo as a speaker phone --promising clear audio.

“I saw it on tv. I'd like to give it a try" says Matt DeLong.  He delivers for McCarthy flowers in Wilkes-Barre. He's on the road hours a day.

To start, Matt tunes his radio to 99.3. He plugs Jupiter Jack in the phone --turns it on. But when he dials the call ended. His Samsung phone won't work with Jupiter Jack.

A Motorola phone works. "I have a delivery to General Hospital and Geisinger." "How does it sound, Cathy? Sounds like I'm at the end of a long tunnel."

Next I call the Eyewitness Newsroom. "How do I sound? Sound...you can understand well, but you're echoey." The reason --the other person can hear himself out of the stereo. "Would you use this? On a daily basis? Probably not. Why not? Cause people say you sound echoey. And it didn't work with every phone as promised.

So the Jupiter Jack tunes in an ok grade on the Tryometer. Jupiter Jack cost $19.99 at Boscovs.
