"The Parrot Minikit Neo was highly recommended by Halfords. Product is easy to install, just clip on to the sun visor, no probs, however set up was not as straight forward as expected. Not enough separate features to help guide you along. Voice recognition is not that good, in fact poor. Setting up another mobile after pairing was very poor again the lack of menue features. After making a call it will not switch off automatically. Perhaps these points are only relevant to me. Voice clarity and battery life is very good."

"I purchased the mini kit because it suited my needs being able to take from one car to another. sadly the mini kit didnt meet my expectations.Initially it worked excelently but then the green button stopped working when attached to the sun visor the the kit stopped working all together could not switch off on or anything had to disconnect from phone to be able to make any calls. Took unit back and got my money back"

"Very good bluetooth kit. The speaker picks up the passengers voice quite well & clear on the other end of the phone, even at high speeds on motorway. Obviously it is not crystal clear but what bluetooth kit would be?
Also picks up my sat nav voice commands & speed alert prompts from my iphone.
Only gripe is i am in the car quite a lot for work & as it does not go into deep sleep the battery lasts about a week,even with outgoing magic words switched off.
Overall Great kit for the price it is at!

Pros: very easy to use, sleep function a major boon.
Cons: navigating menus when setting up is a bit fiddly
"The kit is excellent and works seamlessly with my Samsung Galaxy S3. Voice dialling works very well. The warning is that my kit had version 1.09 software installed and with that if one enabled outgoing voice commands the sleep function was turned off. Upgraded to version 1.11 and sleep works with outgoing voice commands enabled."

"Bought this last month. It has proved to be better than anticipated.
I have 2 phones, a works and personal and found it paired the 2 with no issues. When I cahnge cars, I just unclip it and take it with me. Found it more useful than the Parrot that was wired in.

Pros: easy to setup and use
"Having bought this to replace a BT headset I had doubts over it's abilities due to some reviews and I thought for the price it wouldn't be very good but i was presently surprised.
It paired easily and painlessly with my Blackberry, it synchronised the phone book and makes and receive calls by voice command efficiently. Being a scot and having lived in rural Yorkshire for 25 years my accent is quite bad but the voice commands work fine.
The battery life is Ok, I charged it once overnight and 3 weeks later it still says it's at 50% even though I use it a few times a day when out and my routing software uses it all the time to give directions.
The charge connector is the same as my Blackberry so i only need one charger in the car."

"Have had several sun visor mounted hands free kits they have all proved either rubbish or unreliable. The Parrot is well made and so simple to use. My only critisism would be no LED to remind you the unit is switched on, so you exit the car and as long as you are within 100 feet or so the phone stays bound to the Parrot so you cannot answer the call from the handset."
