Just works, not much more to say about it. I use it in a BMW 3 series with a connects2 cable, so that I can use the steering wheel controls to answer my phone, hang up, use voice commands etc.
This is used in a lot of company vehicles as a way for hands FREE. Needs professonal instaler. We bought this for our father and he loves it. Very user friendly. Enjoy.
We have tried many other hands free devices and the Parrot is the best. This is the second Parrot we have purchased and installed in our vehicles. Callers on the other end are always suprised when I tell them I am in a vehicle because of the incredible clarity of the device.
But it just doesn't filter out the background noise very well. It is currently about 15 inches from my mouth attached to the overhead center console (away from the windshield). My wife's car has a handsfree unit built-in to her Acura and it works quite a bit better than the Parrot one I have. This thing works fairly well at speeds of 30 mph or less, but if I drive faster than that the people on the other end really start to complain about not being able to hear me. I've moved the microphone in all different places without much luck. On the other hand, some people claim theirs works just fine so it could just vary based on your car (mine is a pretty quiet car, though) or it could just be that I got a somewhat faulty unit.
I had it removed from my car and ended up eating the install fee. I really liked the convenience of the parrot, but for my car, it was not going to work. Third, my music would be incredibly bassy, and no amount of adjustment could compensate. Second, when receiving an incoming call, the radio would not mute completely, resulting in me having to turn down the radio. My car is a 2004 Honda Element with OEM stereo. I had this unit professionally installed with the standard $50 wiring harness made for Honda vehicles. The first notable thing was my radio no longer had close to the volume it had before the install. The installer tried to trouble-shoot the problem, install a relay to shut down the radio when calls come in, and made calls to Parrot tech support, which gave them no solution to the problem.
