Hi All, I am picking up a new addition to the motoring family on Friday and I need a hands free kit fitted to it. 1) Does anyone have any recommendations? I like my toys  2) The dealer fits Parrot kits and I could get them to fit it before I pick it up which would be useful. Does anyone have any experience with Parrot kits? Thanks Regards Paul |

They seem to be market leader from what I can tell. I had a look at them at the weekend in Halfords and they seem ok. Just always good to get actual feedback from owners? The reviews are generally good. Just concerned I might be missing out on a hot product from another company. The dealership do fit parrot, so would be handy to have them do before picking it up. Having said that I am feeling the need for a decent sound system, so will mull over night Regards Paul |

We have Parrot kits installed to any hire cars we use (we hard-wire owned cars). Not heard any feedback, good or bad. However, nobody really gives good feedback, do they? They are a good, and reasonably priced alternative, to drilling holes in the car as they are transportable too. |

I use the bog standard nokia bluetooth kit in all our cars, no display just a button the size of a 2p on display which can change the volume, answer or redial. Very simple, cheap, works well, easy to fit and discrete. |

I have decided not to get the dealer to fit a parrot. Partly because they haven't bothered to ring back with a price. Going to go to a couple of car hi fi places and see what I can get fitted including speaker upgrade at the same time. They might have some ideas. Thanks all for the feedback and thoughts... Regards Paul |

I have a parrot kit fitted to the van.. I've found it to be really good so far, I like the faciities it offers (more than the nokia kit Paul) Its wired through the stereo so its quite well heard in the vast cabin. garyw |

Despite my recommendations for simplicity above it looks like I'll have to ditch the nokia in the new Subaru in favour of a parrot mki9200 as it's the only device that will allow connectivity to ipod  Anyone know where we can get one for a decent price? Thanks Paul |
