"Would definitely recommend this Bluetooth hands free kit any time of any day! I got this fitted in my Alfa Romeo 159 and was fitted in brilliantly and professionally. The kit itself is very good. Good quality incoming calls and vice versa. Has the voice recognition and works very well. No need to pay soo much for a hands free kit as this is simple, affective and most importantly b superb buy. You won't be disappointed."

Pros: fairly easy to install
Cons: unusable sound quality, needed a separate cable to fit to my car, flimsy sticker for the control module
"I purchased this after seeing the other positive reviews and previously had a Nokia CK-7W in my Passat but thought I'd get a Parrot in my Yaris as they're one of the market leaders.
Installation was okay but there was an awful lot of unnecessary wiring which I cable tied together and just about fit in behind the centre console. The sticker for the control unit is too weak and it dropped off the first day I stuck it to a flat smooth part of the dash.
The sound quality through the speakers was pretty good, however the caller complained of poor distortion and even recorded the low quality they were receiving. As much as 75% of the conversation was not recognisable.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S2, beware before you buy this product as it seems to be a manufacturing defect, many others have had similar issues and added resistors to the microphone cable and all sorts. Parrot have let me down and should test the product before selling it as my experience was awful. Needless to say I will be taking it out and bringing it in for a refund after this poor experience."

Cons: cant think of any
"Just had this installed by Neil in the Weymouth Halfords. Installed in new BMW 3 series in less than an hour. Really neat job.
Great service. This Parrot is much clearer than my previous built in bluetooth, it must be the best on the market.This costs less than being caught holding the phone! so if you haven't got hands free bluetooth, what are you waiting for?"

"I bought this product on boxing day, I have to say Danny at the Doncaster store was polite and proffesional in handling the installation of this product I was given a good level of discount too on additional leads that required to be ordered. This product will help me on my travels to keep in touch with business associates and friends and family, overall good on price and I would recommend this type of product for hands free I have an i phone 4 and it works brilliantly!"

Pros: one touch answer

"I have always used loudspeaker on my phone in car and usually drop phone in mid conversation. This is brilliant and the communication is clear. Comes through my stereo speakers and friends are able to hear me very clearly. It is one touch to answer and end call. I am always on phone in car so this is a godsend"

Pros: value for money
Cons: remote can fall off !
"Not bad at all if it`s a value for money your after as these kits really are so simple to use and very reliable!Only down side is because of the remote button being so small and narrow then it can sometimes fall off !( try super glue if it does lol )Apart from that then a very good product but take a look at the Motorla T603 before you make the choice of this product .Many thanks from all @ MaxsoundCarAudio Uk"

"I bought my Parrot CK3000 to replace a Parrot Slim Kit Mini which alas is an ex Parrot ergo a Parrot no more.
I found the CK3000 to be simplicity itself to connect and configure. The only real knowledge required is how to dismantle and re-assemble the dashboard of your car to obtain a professional look to the installation.
As I bought the CK3000 whilst it was on offer it was even more value for money, all thanks to Parrot and Halfords too."

Still a good product, easy to use and saves worrying about accidents/police etc not being handsfree."

"Parrot CK3000-EVOLUTION Bluetooth hands free phone kit is easy to install yourself if you take time to read the instructions. The clarity of the voice both ways is excellent. One point, when fitting, make sure that when the ignition is switched off the lights on the controller should also go off. If this doesn't happen just swap over the 2 fuse leads as described in the manual."

"both for my wife as X-mas present. The kit looks nice and is quite small. Took me a couple of minutes to understand how it works. Down side is that the kit did not last too long where they installed it. Just about to use doublesided tape to fix it back. Despite all this, I would buy it again."
