Question Hands Free Bluetooth

Is anyone out there using the Parrot CK3100 LCD or 3200 LS?

I've been wanting one of these for a long time. Now Best Buy has a Free Installation sale going on and I may want to jump on it.

Any opinions on these from daily use??

CK3100:
Parrot - Hands-Free Car Kit with LCD Display for Bluetooth-Enabled Cell Phones - CK3100 LCD

3200 LS Color:
Parrot - Hands-Free Car Kit with Color LCD - 3200 LS-COLOR

I have one(CK3100) in my truck for about 6 months. works pretty good. No echo, voice recoginition works fairly well. You just have to remember how you recorded your voice tags. Installation was simple. If you have aftermarket amps you need to wire it up so it will play through the front speakers. If stock not a problem. I will be putting one in my Fit as soon as I finish my sytem this week.

I just purchased a parrot hands free and I was not impressed. I was more impressed by one that I purchased at a ATAT store instead. I believe it was a hands free motorola set up and the sound quality was good.

Nice, that's the one I really want (because it's smaller and takes up less room).
Any idea where in the Fit you'll place it?

Well since I am removing the stock radio, I am thinking of running it just off to the left side of the vent in the middle. should be easy to see and use there. I have heard good things about the motoola also, my Bro-in-law, has that in his tahoe. The only drawback (and I could be wrong) is that there is no caller ID screen. It just says the name or number over the radio.

I hear ya'. I'll porb. be keeping the stock radio..I like gagdets and have a XM rec. already on the dash, plus GPS, now need ot find room for a hands free dev.
I have the Sony Bluetooth head unit in ym Accord right now. It works pretty well, but no caller ID display as well. My new work however announces the name when it rings, so it works fine.

I may need to look into the Motorola one just to see.

Thx!

I got the stereo completed last week. Alpine 9887, Boston SL60 components, Alpine PDX 4.150, Sound splinter Rli-10" all installed. Tuned it using the imprint software from Alpine. Didnt get a chance to get the Parrot in, we had a liitle fire here called the GAP fire (made national news I think) and I had to help friends evacuate. Will try to get it in the next week or so.

I now have my Parrot CK3100 hands-free bluetooth.
I just ordered the wiring harness for it today.

When it arrives, I'll document my install and take pics if anyone is interested.

I bought a parrot kit for my eclipse head unit. I just got it and hopefully i can install it this weekend. I have heard alot of good things from the local stereo shops on parrot bluetooth kit. Its not a universal kit so it may be a little different then yours but i will let you know after i get mine installed.
