Sweet little piece of handsfree device that works great! | Posted on 13 Aug 2013 |

Review
I found the installation easy, and still works perfectly with an iPhone 3Gs and 4. When you start the car, there is a fairly long delay - perhaps 20 to 30 sec before the Parrot comes alive, but this isn't really a problem. In use, the unit speaks what is on the display, including contact names. The spoken menus are very clear - but it struggles with some of the names in my contact book. Still it's better than previous. You can navigate your contacts without looking at the display. The blue OLED display is brilliant! VERY clear with a very wide viewing angle which opens up where you can put it in the car. It comes with a wireless remote which has a steering wheel mount. It comes with a selection of cables to plug directly in to USB thumbdrives, MP3s and even an iPod/Phone. Disappointingly, you have to press play on the phone and use the phone for track navigation - which means it's illegal on the road! The bluetooth only sends audio. The sound quality is good and smooth. Though, there'll be sound distortion of sounds when the volume is being turned up to its peak. Calls-wise, when you are using the phone on the move, the audio is very clear for both parties - loud and clear! In conclusion, the handsfree part of it is very good, but don't get this to connect your phone / iPod for audio unless you drive a super quiet car!
What I like
Awesome handsfree features! Almost everything that you need in a handsfree device, is in here.
What I do not like
Audio-wise features are quite a waste in this device.

Review
I like how fast and responsive the interface was, and the display's quality was good. When I connected my iPhone to this device, it didn't just pull my phonebook, it also pulls up my battery level on the little screen, which I find great. The voice recognition software is accurate and amazing, and the mic is really good.
The only complaints I have is that at higher speeds, the mic starts to lose clarity slightly and that I usually have to disconnect calls by stabbing the red button a couple of times before it actually does.
What I like
Great mic quality in addition to the fast & responsive interface and clear screen. Awesome voice recognition.
What I do not like
Mic starts to lose noise cancelling properties at higher speeds and still needs to hang up by pressing the red button
I installed this on
Honda Civic
Review
I've purchased this for my honda civic here the dashboard trim available to mount larger screens is not optimal. The kit synchs well with my iPhone 5 and multiple handsets are able to synch. It is wonderfully user friendly device I would say. It is neat yet clear and the voice activated system makes it safe and credibly easy to use whilst driving. Combining the iPod connection to it is a good idea, but I cannot fast forward through the song like my iPod can which I feel quite disappointed with it. Overall, it is a good piece of equipment that does the job it says!
