Ok, I'm getting sick of my bluetooth ear piece as they are annoying and keep breaking, so it's time to do the phone mod for the bluetooth car kit.

I know that several members have installed the both the Motorola T605 and/or the Parrot 3200. I'm trying to decide which to purchase. I can get either for around $30 to $50 on fleaBay. I am leaning towards the Motorola as I want to mount the control device in the console so it is out of sight as I don't think I will have the need to touch it that much so the CID isn't that important that the Parrot offers. But that being said, I haven't used either, so I could be all wet on my thoughts.

I'm going to install it in my '99 XJR, just in case you don't notice my signature!

Thoughts?

 

Since you are intended to install a pro kit then I would go for Parrot MKI 9200 .It's the newest and the most advanced one you could buy .

 

Ok, I hadn't picked up on the pro it aspect... is that the Parrot wiring harness, etc? I have noticed a few posts talking about the MKI 9200, but the feature set seemed more than I needed or wanted. I don't want to stream music through the device as the Aux input would be a better route IMHO.

 

Don't know about the Parrot, but the T605 has a switching aux in and and an aux out. It will autoswitch between BT streaming and its aux input sending either the BT audio or your iPod, for example, to its aux out (which you connect to your systems's aux input). This is a great feature that I hadn't anticipated which works seamlessly.

BTW, it's going to be hard to get an unbiased vote - few likely have experience with both, and so, assuming each votes for the one he/she has, it will just be an indication of how many of each are owned by members... not of their inherent values relative to each other.

 

I did think of that but I was still attempting to see what I may glean. Unfortunately, this has been a rather unsuccessful venture to this point. I am leaning towards the T605 based upon it's very low price point, so if I don't like it I'm not really out anything.

 

True, the T605 can be found on eBay for $25 or less regularly... cheap, for all the features it has. The Parrot has a lot more cute stuff (display, etc.), but the basic features are about the same, IMO.
