What bluetooth car kit do you use?

Cyrus · 15 Feb 2007 at 16:13

Just wondering, looking for a bluetoof carkit that is easily moved from car to car (ie i change car every 6 mths or so i dont need to move it daily), is discreet and gives good quality sound.

ease of installation would be nice aswell!

I've heard great things about the Parrot kits, but am yet to actually use one.

I was going to suggest a Head Unit based BT kit (as that is what I use), but that's perhaps too much effort everytime you change car.

not keen on HU based ones, im not a big audiophile and i always think oem HU look better than 3rd party ones

In which case, I would look at the parrot stuff then, great looking bluetooth units, non-phone specific, and removable

(They can be had for less than the price on their site, if you hunt around)

Prefer just an earpeice and a Cradlle.. was tempted to get Mini to fit the kid, but decided not to..

I fitted a Parrot CK3000 kit to my car. Nothing on display, except for a tiny dial and two buttons next to the handbrake. Works perfectly with my N73 and was a simple job to install (plug and play). The only hassle is finding space in the dash to stash all the wires... spaghetti junction

Dad has a parrott one, seems to work very well. I personally just use the feature on my HU (same one as Paradigm)

Parrot CK3100

Superb and works faultlessly

Parrot LS3200 colour screen here, great bit of kit! (not transferred it into the alfa yet!)

I'm now using BMW iDrive but in the past had the Parrot system which is probably the best one going IMO.

Another vote here...had one in my Fabia vRS and have one in my Octavia vRS, and sort of have one coming for my New Leon, because it's what Vodafone supply for the Nokia I have!

having one put in in the next couple of weeks, will probably go for the Parrot 3000 as the control bit seems much smaller than the 3100

Have a parrot in my Range Rover, lovely bit of kit, transfered between cars once already and changed phones 3 times. Had a few issues with all the features not being support on my SE P800/910 but it supports everything with my P990.

Only thing it doesn't do is mute the output to my amps, so I have to currently mute my music via the HU at the moment, but I'm sure I can work some little box of tricks out that cuts the power on line feed when a call comes through, thus turning the amps off.

decided a cradle and ear piece a better idea for me so just bought the sexy jabra jx10
