Nice and easy to see who's calling etc without taking your eyes completely off the road for too long.....
Security wise - probably not the best spot, but TBH unless you look closely you cant spot it, due to reflections on the window when its closed. If someone is interested in stealing something, they are gonna come up close and see the parrot kit wherever its installed (unless its hidden in the ash tray compartment).
When the car is parked, and the window is closed, you do need to go up close to actually notice it TBH.

I have mine on the left side of the centre console, but I want it in a place without the wire showing.

Mine is in the ashtray bit.. :wink:

That's cool - who fitted it?

I
need want a parrot kit. Have thought about hiding it in the ashtray but I use that place for other stuff.
-
Like ash?
:D
-
No more like parking permits (I hate having them stuck to the windscreen), carpark access and most importantly: a pack of wrigley's extra...ice or whatever the turquoisey coloured pack is.
-
I have an old mobile phone in mine at the moment - no idea why
-
Was fitted by a local fitter... was quite easy from what I gather. Used to use that bit for loose change but since i had the parrot fitted i havent and tbh it only used to rattle about anyway. Still have plenty of storage anyway and can still fit in a pack of extra anyway :smiley:
I just dont like after market mods so that seemed like the best place to put it so i dont have to look at it when its not in use. Also means that everyone in the car doesnt see whos calling you, as you can flick it open and close it quite easily.
-
I think thats the perfect place - i don't put anything in there, the change goes under the arm rest because like you say it rattles about anywhere else!
I might invest in one now :)

When I first got one, it just wouldnt work with my nokia. Even changed the parrot twice. Now I got a blackberry curve... works with that everytime. Just something you might want to know if you are getting one.:cool:

Cheers mate - I have a nokia n95 at the moment, so will definitely check that out first, and come back here for some advice ;)
-
I have a Sony Ericsson C905 - works with it perfect.

Do you have to fit a separate microphone somewhere with these Parrot units? What about a speaker? I don't really know anything about them...
-
The call comes thru the speakers (cuts the radio out if its playing and says call!), and a microphone placed by the interior mirror thru my roof lining.
-
I have the Parrot CK3000 Evolution which is completely hidden in the interior light cluster. I also have the multi-can so it works via the phone button on the MFSW and through the car speakers, muting the stereo if I have a call.
The only part of it on display is the microphone which is located at the top of the A pillar (it was in the light cluster to start with but my callers couldn't hear me as it made me sound muffled).
It works with voicetags, so your phone has to have this feature for it to work. I was also advised to have the bluetooth switched on on my phone before I turn the ignition on otherwise it might not work properly. I leave my bluetooth on all the time so I don't have to remember to turn it on before getting in the car.
I have a Nokia 6500s and have had no issues with it whatsoever.
