Simple question:

Which is the best Parrot kit to buy? (one without feathers, that is)

I need phonebook synch, the ability to plumb into the head unit so the radio mutes when a call comes in, a mic/caller to come out the audio speakers and CLI on the display so I can bounce idiots I don't need to talk to.

Is your present radio a standard DIN type S? Parrot make a system that is also a built in radio and phone system all in one. http://www.parrotshopping.com/uk/p_parrot_item.aspx?i=127845

This is the version I had in the last car

And if you don't have a SatNav in the car there is this version!

I see they are doing special offers for orders placed before Christmas 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Nope, not a DIN fitting Tim - it's the usual integrated BMW "Professional" head unit so not looking to replace the entire thing. Don't need Satnav either so probably will go for this one. Do I need to buy the BMW adapter to go with it? It says that it is supplied with an ISO cable that fits any car... but then it pops up the accessory cables as if to say "you need one of these".

When mine was fitted I just said to the LR dealer "go -do" and they went and did!

There is also a Motarola device that is similar but has no display

I have the 3100, works fine, got what you are looking for, but should I do it again I'd probably go for the 3200. '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

If you want to stream music via bluetooth, you'll need this one.

Iphone has bluetooth but not A2DP (yet) to support it. It may come with a firmware upgrade. 2022 P440e AB

Thanks PauloAmore, but not interested in the MP3 capability really.... Seems the 3200 is the one for me.

Thanks chaps

No probs.

Following for other interested parties :-

There are loads of A2DP phones out there. SonyEricsson & Nokia's. It will be the future of MP£ players and cars i'm sure. 2022 P440e AB

And for those (like me) who didn't know what A2DP is:

Quote:

The A2DP profile describes how stereo quality audio can be streamed from a media source to a sink. The profile defines two roles of an audio source and sink. A typical usage scenario can be considered as the “walkman” class of media player. The audio source would be the music player and the audio sink is the wireless headset. A2DP defines the protocols and procedures that realize distribution of audio content of high-quality in mono or stereo on ACL channels.
