BT Parrot CK3100 Kits

[mine_is_faster]

Looking to get one of these bad boys for Christmas if Santas kind to me.

As I'm not that technically 'gifted' then I'm looking to get this fitted, I've googled it and found these guys on the web:

http://www.avrmobiles.co.uk/bluetooth_hands_free_car_kits.html

Has anybody used them before? It's just that I'm a little concerned about any Tom, Richard or Harry messing around with my car!

They seem fairly reputable; it's just actual customers opinions can help make your mind up!

Opinions are welcome!!

spooky mate! i was looking at getting one of those and using AVR as they are only up the road from me. But then it all changed when i saw i could use the tomtom go 510 for bluetooth handsfree instead.

I did speak to them about the installation and they seemed fairly knowledgable though.

I have the ck3100 in my Leon, compared to the Nokia CK1W I had in my last Leon it's better as the screen shows you who is calling and has phone book synchronisation. It also works with all bluetooth phones, not just Nokias as the CK1W did.... The only problem was finding a decent place to fit the display, we went for under the light switch in the Leon.

I've just had avr install the CK3100 into my v50 and they did a good job.

Dead easy to install as it's prewired to fit in the wiring loom for the radio
As has been said it's a bit awkward finding an "ideal" spot for the display, I put mine on the dash tight up under the A pillar

i have the previous verson.... ck3000 (i think) any ideas if i can just buy or upgrade to the new ck3100 screen part or what?.... just that the ck 3000 is sitting in its box still...

Wicked, thanks for all the feedback.

Emailed them and have had an email from them. Found an ideal place for the display in the Civic, its just behind the gearstick and below the rear heated windscreen.

Think I'm going to go with them!

Tincan - you can do some kind of upgrade to an EVO one. But you would probably be better off just flogging your CK3000 and buying a CK3100.

How long did it take for them to fit the kit? Did they come to your home?

Sorry for all the questions I'm a nosey s0d!

These really are great. Such a good purchase. Connects straight to your phone when ignition is switched on, plays through the actual car speakers, voice activated dialing and pre-loaded voice recognition... awesome bit of kit...

I found the best location is top right of the windscreen, tucked in 'next' to the A-Pillar and the roof lining. There are a couple of ways of mounting them, but this seemed best for me. It is hidden nicely behind the Sunstrip meaning it is completely hidden from anyone wandering around the car at night. Good on anti-theft...

I had mine fitted by RCA in Cheadle, a bit far to go from South Wales, but any decent ICE fitter should know what they are doing with them. Get a few quotes so you know you arent getting duped into paying too much.
