I just picked up my new car that has Fiscon BT and I would strongly recommend it but only if you have the RNS510 and highline computer. I used to have a Parrot and that was fine (but sometimes flaky) but the Fiscon gives me:
1. Full touch screen integration with my RNS510
2. Caller display and control in the highline and navigation with MFSW
3. No ugly bits of kit sticking out from the dashboard - its all hidden
4. In my experience, much better quality sound, and noise reduction

I got a Parrott CK3100 installed in my ED30 when I bought it - was well chuffed!!!!   Till I kept getting callers saying they couldn't hear me properly.  I got another ICE garage to relocate the Mic off the Drivers Pillar, to the centre headliner, but still no joy.

I ended up ripping the **** out of the dash one day when it totally ****** me off!  My mate has the same unit in his Van and I know what people are talking about - he sounds sh1te, really distorted.  I still have it plugged in but it doesn't switch on now - wonder why  :wink:

Personally, I wouldn't bother with the Parrott - please tell me what you guys did differently if you had any sound issues.

BTW - I had a Golf Plus yesterday on Courtesy, with a RNS510 in - they are very good, but what about the 4 digit Postcodes (ahem, that went out with my old Navman 4 years ago!)>

I had the same problem when my Parrot was fitted.  The microphone was located in the interior light cluster out of sight, but I had to move it to the A-Pillar as I sounded muffled to my callers.  Since moving it they've had no problems hearing me.
