Considering purchasing a Parrot RKi8400 .. but I'm not able to find any real reviews. I discovered one on Amazon.com in which someone complains that it wouldn't fit in any of his 3 cars. That's really it. Has anyone had any experience with these? Is it worth the price tag? Just looking for a decent in dash, car audio solution with quality BlueTooth.

Parrot RKi8400

Hi, I have one of these install in my van, fits no problems,
that's where the good points end. Mine is now going back to Parrot with
noisey fans. Other problems include useless Bluetooth audio streaming, randomly rebooting, freezing and not much use if you have sat nav on your
iPhone. Oh one last point, had my phone inside the Parrot, it was a cold day so had the heater on, this caused the Parrot to get warm which in turn
brought an overheated message up on my phone which shut itself down.

Parrot doesn't look to bad

one last point lol the Parrot has had about 3 firmware upgrades since I got it
in September
