 Parrot CK3100 September 30, 2008
J. A. Hay (Thornton, UK)
After trawling through the internet and finding which bluetooth unit to buy, the only option was a parrot based one. However, the choice between a 3000 3100 LCD versin was the fact that I could see if the mother-in-law was calling !!!! br / br /I purchased the CK3100 and a loom for my stereo and they arrived within 24hrs. Being quite a technical person installation was very straight forward. If you are handy with a screwdriver and take care on removing facias etc then this is a straight forward job. I located all the cables and control units by removing my glove box and putting them out of sight. The downside is the manual is very vague when it comes to connecting to your headset it does not tell you if you need an additional connecting lead from your stereo to your headset. Also, on some cars you need to swap over the two fuse carriers. This can be found online, but not in the manual. This sort of information you have to find out for yourself. If installation is an issue there are several automotive companies that will install the unit for less than 200. BMW charge 325 !!!!!!!! br / br /After installation which I did in a very slow methodical manner (which took me an hour) I put the unit to test. Operation of the unit along with pairing is described sufficiently in the manual. I set my phone, the wife's phone and the daughter's phone to pair with the unit. As the unit will only utilise the one it picks up first, it is very simple to connect to another of the paired phones if required. br / br /The voice commands are recorded easily and you do not have to use the words they instruct you to i.e. 'Phone', you could use 'Call' for example or 'Hang Up' where you can use 'End'. br / br /The only downside is the because when the voice commands are recorded, the radio is muted. When you are driving hoever you have your stereo on. With this, if it is too high, the unit will not pick up your voice to make a hands free call. The only way around this is to either turn the stereo volume down or off. Not a big problem, but then again not hands free. br / br /I have also managed to upgrade the software on the unit using a laptop and bluetooth connection. This was very simple and well described on the Parrot website where you can download the software application, latest software and instructions on how to upgrade software for free. br / br /The clarity of sound making and receiving calls is excellent and no-one has yet informed me that they have had issues when making or taking calls using the Parrot unit. br / br /The wife and daughter are not technically minded (no disrespect) and nor are they at the front or middle of the queue when it comes to gadgetry of an electronic nature, but they found it very simple to use. br / br /All in all 89 for a Parrot unit and a connecting loom for my headset = Bargain. Far cheaper than an OEM.

Great product. It took my 17 yr old son no more than 30 mins to fit it including running wires behind the dash. Being 17 he did not even look at the fitting instructions. Very simple to fit.
Definately worth the money... May 12, 2008

Firstly, let me say that the instructions are rubbish! However, once you've pulled out your stereo unit it is very obvious how to connect the unit and anyone with half a brain can work out how to fit it. It takes about 10 mins for basic installation. If you want a tidy installation it took me about half an hour to wire it in neatly. br /I got this option because I thought that the colour screen version was gimmicky but I still wanted to be able to se who was calling. br /The sound quality is excellent and the microphone is very good (you dont find yourself shouting ever). The volume on my unit does seem to be very high but I think thats the stereos fault... The stereo mute function is brilliant. br /Overall the unit is great. The Bluetooth connection is flawless; it is so much easier and safer than trying to stand up in the car to pull the phone from your pocket like before. Would definately recommend this unit.

It arrived and i opened the packet and thought "o my god" all these wires, but please do not let this put you off. After getting over the shock and reading the instructions, i took my radio out and connected the kit as per instructions. The hardest bit turned out to be hiding the wire's. This is a very good and easy kit to fit. Having seen what they charge to fit this it has got me thinking that i would offer to fit these kits nad make some dosh on the side. In all it was up and running in 15 mins.
