Title: Where do you put your Parrot?
Post by: barlimow on 11 January 2009, 14:10

I'm after a Parrot CK3100, and though it's pretty small I can't really find a flat surface that's big enough to mount it on. I really want it to be fairly discreet, and preferably on the right-hand side (nr the lights) but can't really see my fitting it there  :undecided:

Any suggestions, or even better some pics, would be helpful. Thanks  :smiley:

Never thought of that. You couldn't take a pic could you? Can't really picture it there. Thanks.

My MK6100 is inside the lidded cubby where the 12V socket is - perfect place! Easy to view when you need to, but not distracting, plus you can shut the lid when you're parked so there's no sign of it at all.

mines on the rh side just under the vent. in all honesty though i find the parrots quite rubbish, ive had 2 so far and a friend has the OEM bluetooth handsfre which is alot better.

Thanks guys. Looks nice and discreet down there, but I'm not sure it would be as easy to use there than if it was more at the vent level. mmm, decisions, decisions...   :undecided:

Mine's hidden away in the interior light cluster.  The only part on display is the microphone.
