Does anyone have any experience using a Parrot Bluetooth addon? I'd love to hear some impressions before spending money.

I have installed the Mki9100 is 2 of our cars with out built in bluetooth and they work great. Phone sound quality is superb. It rivals any car that has bluetooth already built in. I have had 2 older generations parrots previously also. It is so convenient to have in your car. All cars should have integrated bluetooth standard. Once you turn your car on it links automatically. You can stream all audio directly from the iphone. Siri works as well with the parrot, by pressing the play button on the remote.

Are you installing it yourself or at a car audio place?

Thank you so much, sounds perfect. I was thinking of doing it myself but I'm not very handy. :)

I put the Parrot CK3100 in a Ford Ranger I had and it worked great. Just get the wiring kit for your car and the whole thing just plugs in and integrates with the stereo system. I was very impressed with it.

Definitely get the wiring kit for your car. No need to splice any wires. I don't consider myself too handy and was able to to do this.

This is where I have purchased my quick connect harness adapters from

Thanks, unfortunately they say there is no quick connect harness for my car. Looks like professional installation for me.

Thanks for all the information everyone.
