What's great about it: HANDS FREE, EASY TO USE
I NEEDED A BLUETOOTH FOR MY WIFE'S LINCOLN NAV. THE TECH TOOK A LITTLE LONGER THAN EXPECTED, BUT THAT IS OK. IT IS UP AND RUNNING AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES. IT 'S WORTH HAVING INSTALLED. IF YOU GET PULLED OVER TALKING ON THE PHONE, IT'S A MOVING VIOLATION AND GOES ON YOUR INSURANCE. DO THE MATH....SO GET IT INSTALLED. YOU CAN STREAM MUSIC OR PLUG IT IN DIRECTLY.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use and set up, great product, amazing installation
I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband and we both couldn't be more pleased! The product came in great time, and works very well! The installation services at the Downingtown location are amazing. The installers are friendly and very knowledgeable! The price I paid was well worth it for both the product and complete full installation. The calls come through loud and clear in the car. Anyone we talk to says they can't even tell we aren't holding a phone up to our ear speaking. The device is easy to use and there are little to no wires visable. It is not obtrusive and the mounting is very simple. I really wanted for this to be as factory looking as possible, and it really is! The only thing I recommend (and so did the Best Buy installers) is to buy a wiring harness so they don't have to cut/splice your cars wires.

What's great about it: The product is great
What's not so great: Best Buy should not be a seller of the product
This was the first product that I've purchased from Best Buy that needed any kind of installation. When I purchased the product the manager was unable to schedule a time for the install, he told me to come back on Monday. When I got there on Monday they scheduled the install for Thursday at 12:30. When I got there on Thursday they never put the scheduled install in the book and then told me to come back on Friday. I came back in on Friday and 2 hours later I received a call that they had no idea how to hook the product up through the speakers in my car. They told me to call the Collegeville Best Buy which is right down the street. I called the Collegeville branch and they call me back with these words of wisdom, " I think you should call Parrot and get them to send you a wiring harness and the correct wires for the install." I lost my mind after that.
Whyy is Best Buy charging and extra $100 for the install when they don't have the parts and the labor has no idea how to install the product. I had to drive around and find a Parrot specialized dealer in my are to have in installed. It took 2 hours and I'm very pleased with the product.
I would recommend this product but I would buy it somewhere else if you want it installed correctly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy to use, small and portable. Pleasing to the eye
What's not so great: Can't think of ONE THING
I just purchased this device and have only had it about an hour...I LOVE IT ! I initially purchased the Jabra FREEWAY device and it was AWFUL ! The parrot works great- it uploads all of your phone contacts and you can even subscribe to text-friendly to send/receive texts, tweets and Facebook updates. It has IPOD hook up and will play your music files. Sound quality is great, easy to use, and you can remove it so thieves can't see it in your car. It was worth every penny, installation took 1.5 hours and was NO ADDITIONAL charge at Best Buy. Don't waste your time with others. I returned the Jabra FREEWAY after 2 days of use. This is THE ONE to buy! Trust me!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Sounds great, pretty easy to use, great color display
What's not so great: Finding a place to mount the remote control and installing custom wallpapers
This bluetooth system works great. I upgrded the software version with no problem. I don't like that you have to transmit new wallpapers via bluetooth only when it would be much easier to do with a USB memory stick. The USB is how you are to upgrade the software version. Also, I have an autostart on my car and pairing the Parrot with my phone has to be done within a few minutes or you have to restart the parrot in order for the system to see your phone. I have an iphone 4 with the most recent software version and it works great with this Parrot mki9200. If you are looking for an all around bluetooth setup for your car. This one will do just fine. You can use it for MP3 players, phones, and USB memory sticks....

What's great about it: Background noise reduction is so good you can't tell the speaker is on a speaker phone
With it's dual amplified microphone and the superb background noise reduction you liteally sund like you're talking drectly into the phone. It's voice recognition software is the best I've used. Without any voice training this unit is 100% accurae. You speak the first and last name and the phone you want to call and it repeats it back to you and dials it. Example: "Ralph Beverly work", out of 300 names and numbers in my cell phone it gets it right everytime. This sytem is amazing. Well worth the cost. Leaps and bounds ahead of all of it's competition.

What's great about it: Bluetooth Clarity, Ipod connection, Album art!
What's not so great: Installation is a necessity
I purchased this unit because I didn't want to get rid of my factory head unit. It gets rid of those pesky FM transmitters by hardwiring your ipod to your speakers. The Bluetooth connection is Simple and Easy! Clarity is Superb, People on the other end can't tell a difference when using the double microphone it comes with.
It does come with a lot of accessories and with that there is a lot of wiring, so I do recommend that you install this unit. It looks amazing when its done. All the wiring is hidden so you see nothing, but the 2.4 inch screen that it comes with.
So if you are looking to get bluetooth for your car and also to get rid of your transmitter you can kill two birds with one stone with this product and you will be satisfied
I would recommend this to a friend!
