  This Parrot ck3100 works very well in my Volvo S60R. I have it paired with a Blackberry Pearl 8130 and the sound quality is excellent. I mounted the mic on the A pillar so it is just left of my head..better for sound pick up. I have read that if you mount near a noise source (vent, open window, etc) that it might not work as well but so far mine is great. Also worked well at 45 mph with kids in back talking to their grandparents. Bravo Parrot. I will get alot of use out of it on my 110 mile daily commute with a manual transmission!

  Parrot has quite a way with the customer. If you install this and it doesn't work because they had the wrong phone listed as "compatible", tough luck for you. Parrot is so right they're wrong. They will not admit an error and will not give you so much as an apology. I would avoid them at all costs.

  I made sure to get the fancy adapter harness so that the unit would plug directly in to the stereo (read: no splicing or wiring, just plugging connectors) of a 2005 Toyota Tacoma, unit works like a charm!

  I have 3 of these devices (1 professionally installed and 2 installed personally). All units work very well. The voice dial feature is excellent. I have also had a Motorola bluetooth car kit and the Parrot works much better than the Moto kit. I have these units working with a Blackberry and a Treo with no issues. I would recommend these to anyone. My only issue was the self-install is very complex. I would only recommend self install to those accustomed to car electronics installations.

• Great product with sound system integration | Rating: | Date: 2008-06-27

  I bought this product based on several reviews when I was researching this. My main criteria was good sound quality and ease of installation.
  The installation was very straightforward going into our 2009 Toyota Corolla. The wire harnesses it comes with are designed for European cars (mostly VW), so don't expect everything to just plug in. If you want to use the car speakers for sound (and not get an external speaker), you'll have to cut wires on the Parrot and the car radio harness in order to interrupt the speaker inputs going to radio. You'll also need to find the radio mute wire if you want the sound system to mute when the phone rings (for cars that don't have a mute input, you can use a relay to interrupt the accessory to the radio).
  
  The installation took about 3 hours, and the system worked flawlessly. When the phone rings or when I make a call (either through phone or Parrot device), and car stereo sound mutes, and the call goes through the front car speakers and sounds crystal clear. I was so please that I bought another one for our other car, which I haven't installed yet.
