Parrot MKi9200 Advanced Color Display Bluetooth Hands-Free Music Kit Review

Parrot MKi9200 Advanced Color Display Bluetooth Hands-Free Music Kit

I finally installed a hard wired bluetooth hands free system in my car after using an earpiece for months/years. The MKi9200 is OUTSTANDING; I wish I had installed one a long time ago. The installation for my 2006 Trailblazer required a wiring harness from one of the Parrot vendors listed on their website which costs an extra $75. Regardless, the voice recognition feature is perfect and the radio mute feature works seamlessly with my factory stereo. The calls are crystal clear and everyone can hear me without any difficulties. I found the installation fairly easy and would recommend this product to anyone who is tired of charging, turning on/off, and finding, your blue tooth ear piece.

Dension Gateway Five GWF1V21 iPod USB Bluetooth Adapter for Volkswagen Review

Dension Gateway Five GWF1V21 iPod USB Bluetooth Adapter for Volkswagen
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have purchased this item to mount on a 2006 Mini Cooper Convertible.
On the plus side:
Everything works great with a "Boost" radio, I can control the iPod (Mini, Nano or standard iPod) from my steering wheel controls (previous - next - volume up - volume down) with my radio (6 playlists selection - previous - next - forward - backward) as well as displays the ID3 Tags on the radio (song title - artist) - feature the factory BMW iPod adapter doesn't offer (to date).
On the minus side:
The Ice Link Plus Item model number is I20-BMW-T, Where the "T" stands for TRUNK!!! This specific model is for trunk mounting and will adapt to the cable plugged into your CD-Changer (iPod will replace your CD changer). Mounting it on your dashboard will require a little bit of knowledge to know how to connect it or getting the Ice Link Plus model number I20-BMW (doesn't seem to be available here).
The second detail is that you have to configure the Ice Link Plus in order to have the ID3 titles displayed on you radio (text was turned off when I installed it).
While not being too difficult to do (settings are set by pressing the "6" button on your radio and configured directly on your iPod) it is a feature not mentionned in the Ice Link documentation! In fact, documentation both on the Dension website and the product box is very scarce and support was not available from Ice Link (emails never answered)
Conclusion:
This adapter displays the titles of your songs on your radio while the more expensive factory BMW adapter will not. It has a dock preventing your iPod from "flying" from side to side at every curve and will allow you to mount it wherever you'll feel appropriate: glove box, armrest, side of the radio, ... (the BMW adapter solution has the iPod connector mounted in your glove box only).
Last but not least: Should you change your car, the Ice Link should work with your next car if you get the appropriate connector cable from Dension.
I am very happy and so is my Mini :-)

Parrot RKi8400 Bluetooth Car Stereo for Digital Music and Hands-Free Driving Review

Parrot RKi8400 Bluetooth Car Stereo for Digital Music and Hands-Free Driving
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had done all my research on stereos that work with the iPhone. I thought this one would be perfect. Here is what I have found:
1. the buttons feel very cheap
2. my iPhone barely fits in the compartment behind the face.
3. a 4gb SD card takes about a minute to initialize every time I start my car
4. did not come with a face cover to car the face around or store in.
5. the voice that talks to you when someone calls, etc cannot pronounce anything -- even the basic features of the device (let alone someone's name!)
6. the speakerphone does not pickup my voice very well at all in my car (have tried several different locations
7. having my iPhone stored behind the face is annoying and barely used -- as you have no access to your phone and you have to shut down the stereo if you need to pull it out.
