Amazon.com Product Description
With the Parrot CK3100, you will be able to place and receive calls in comfort and safety, without ever touching your mobile phone. At a time when legislation is tightening up to restrict the use of mobile phones in vehicles due to safety concerns, the Parrot CK3100's benefits are not just for the sake of convenience and comfort -- they are fast becoming a real necessity. The Parrot CK3100 wirelessly connects with all Bluetooth phones on the market and is compatible with all brands. The display of the CK3100 provides the same visual information and functions as your mobile phone, such as caller ID, carrier signal strength, or last calls received, in large well-contrasted digits easy to read at a glance on a screen that can be clipped in the ideal position for the driver to see. Turn on the car engine and the phone connects wirelessly to the Parrot CK3100 Car Kit. The screen unit has easy-to-navigate menu options just like your phone, and your mobile phone book is wirelessly downloaded to the car kit. Calls can be dialed either through the screen, or by using voice-recognition speed dialing. According to your phone's model and firmware, most features are accessible from the hands free console, including one-touch redial, dual call, and auto-answer. The Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth car kit can be installed in almost any vehicle, and is designed to automatically mute the radio during use. Incorporating high-quality sound, the CK3100 includes both echo cancellation and noise reduction technology. As with all Parrot car-kit devices, the CK3100 Bluetooth car-kit offers the user seamless, hands-free use without the inconvenience of wires, headsets, or cradles. This unit also features user connection priority management for up to five users, up to 200 voice tags for its voice recognition, multi-user use for up to three phones, private conversation mode, and much more. Please note this car-kit will not work in cars that use optical cabling. Check with your car dealer before ordering. Also, since this car-kit is installed by hard-wiring to the existing car stereo, professional installation is highly recommended. What's in the Box
The CK3100 electronic control unit, LCD display with buttons and cable, microphone with cable, radio mute cable with line output (ISO cable), power supply cable, and a user guide in 7 languages.

 I love it! August 25, 2008
M. Mansfield (Knoxville, TN)
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!
 Buyer Beware! August 19, 2008

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.
easy to install and use July 7, 2008

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!
Great Product June 27, 2008

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 June 27, 2008

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.
