Bluetooth Handsfree Kits recommendations?

Bradmax57 · 10 May 2009 at 00:04

Im after a or possibly even 2 fitted handsfree kits for mine and the wifes cars wondering what people would recommend without breaking the bank, I now have a E46 saloon and she has a c-max.

Ive used a parrot one in a mates car and i was pretty impressed as it worked ok with my otherwise crap HTC Touch HD

Thanks in advance and advice welcome

I've got a Parrot CK3100 and it's spot on (SPV e650, which is an HTC in disguise).

I've got a Parrot 3200 and it's okay with my iPhone and BB Bold I guess - better than the Nokia kit it replaced anyway

I have the older CK3000 evolution which has no screen but is great.

They are no harder to fit than replacing a head unit.

really? I thought they would involve splicing wires etc? Are they simply just plug and go, presuming id have to buy some kind of hardess in order not to cut wires etc

A suitable Autoleads Telemute harness usually meas plug and play although some cars may need ignition switched lives sourcing for example. E46 and C-Max should be plug and play though IIRC.

well in that case i might try and buy one then and at least give it a shot on one of them

just bought myself a CK3200 LS and hopefully the correct lead to turn the BMW into ISO

i was choosing which Parrot would suit me the most but then saw this other device. seems pretty nice, anyone used it before?

Ive got a CK3000 and with my windows mobile running voice command, it is spot on! Impressive stuff not having to add loads of voice tags and getting your messages read out to you.!

Parrot is the only one to even consider. Avoid the Nokia rubbish.

Have to say im totally impressed with the parrot, it doesnt log the calls in or out with my HTC Touch HD but thats no biggy, the voice commands work ok but rarely use them but the call quality is excellent, as you can see by the mess of wires the installation wasnt without its problems, had to take the climate control unit out to fit them all in but it was easy enough, the location of the display isnt the best but I wanted it out the way

Good to know that its easily removable when i come to purchase next car (hopefully that wont be for some time yet

)
