Parrot CK3200 Car Hands-free Kit

Best Out There

Strengths: Ease of use, clear microphone

Weakness: Programming

I removed the Alpine KCA-300BT unit made specifically for my head unit and replaced it with this one. The clarity is amazing, the ease of use is awesome. Parrot has shown again why they are the best for mobile Bluetooth devices!

We purchased several of the 3200LS...

Strengths: Hands free, links automaticly, easily transfer from Parrot to headset for priviate conversation.

Weakness: No easy was to turn off parrot when you don't want to use it-must turn off bluetooth connection. Harness Needed for all cars sold in the US, except I believe that VW radios are directly compatable.

We purchased several of the 3200LS modles. We are all very pleased. One of the 8 that we bought had an issue, and Parrot was very prompt in resolving and replacing the unit. The Local stero shop would have Hardwired the unit in for a cost of about $250. I opted to purchase the wireing Harness from one of the recommended dealers for about $50, and Circuit City installed it for another $50. The...

We purchased several of the 3200LS modles. We are all very pleased. One of the 8 that we bought had an issue, and Parrot was very prompt in resolving and replacing the unit. The Local stero shop would have Hardwired the unit in for a cost of about $250. I opted to purchase the wireing Harness from one of the recommended dealers for about $50, and Circuit City installed it for another $50. The install was very simple, if you can get your stero out you could install it yourself. We have the Nextel Bluetooth phones and they work good. Even the Walkie talkie/Push-to-talk button works(you have to use the button on the side of the phone). Most Nextel Phone will not transfer the phonebook automaticly, However the small grey blackbury is the only one from Nextel, that will. They tell me you can download the contacts from your computer or PDA but I haven't tried it. The razor from Motorla works very well. Those are the only phones that we have tried. The Noise reduction tech works very good, Don't try to talk to loud or you will blast the person on the other end -- it works good. Oh yea one more important issue, if you have a flip phone and you are use to closing it to hang up... Don't forget to push the hang up button on the parrot as well, or they will hear you talking about them after you think that you have hung up. :) Good luck

CK3200LS Parrot Bluetooth Car Kit with LCD Display

Strengths: Excellent Connection Great Sound Great noise elimination

Weakness: None so far

I really love my new parrot. After going through 3 bluetooth headsets, I purchased the parrot to conduct business while driving. I have been thoroughly impressed so far. Prior to installing the parrot folks would ask me to remove my bluetooth to talk. Now they don't even know that I am on a cell phone. I completely recommend. Installation was also easy.

I really love my new parrot. After going through 3 bluetooth headsets, I purchased the parrot to conduct business while driving. I have been thoroughly impressed so far.

My hat is off to parrot.

My only issue with this product is that after installation and use, I probably would not have bought this model with the screen, but instead elected to purchase the model without a screen all together. I don't find much use with the screen.

Parrot CK 3200LS

Strengths: Ease of use. Simple to install (utilizing a vehicle specific cable purchased from Crutchfield)

Weakness: I had to upgrade the software before it would work properly.

This bluetooth car kit was easy to install and easy to use. I was most impressed with the sound quality. My callers said that the voice quality was great and that it didn't sound as if I was on a speaker. You can save time on the install if you purchase a vehicle specific cable ($29 from Crutchfield.com) that will just snap into your factory stereo with no splicing. Parrot is a terrific company...

Parrot is a terrific company that stands behind their product, as I found this out when the software needed to be updated and they sent me a replacement unit via FedEx in 3 days. Great value and convenience for my money.

Nice unit for a reasonable price

Strengths: Good sound, easy to use, auto mute of vehicle, can be moved to another vehicle

Weakness: No shut off, user manual is brief

I added this and was so impressed, I got two more for the kids' vehicles. I got the unit for a great price form one of the authorized dealers using their low price match guarantee - the savings were well worth the effort. Installation was not too bad with the car specific cable which means you can take it to your next car just by buying the appropriate cable. I'm not sure I would buy the screen...

Installation was not too bad with the car specific cable which means you can take it to your next car just by buying the appropriate cable. I'm not sure I would buy the screen model - it's just another distraction - and the viewing angle is important. The user manual could use major improvement - 13 (small) pages in English just does not cover the necessities - this is a dumb place to cut expenses and can cause some frustration.
