Currently have the Parrot LS3200 Color LCD unit connected to my RB1 nav head unit. Absolutely love the unit. Clear sound through the truck speakers, auto mute, phone book auto syncs, voice dialing and a cool display. Shop for them on Ebay then get the wiring adapter harness from http://www.parrotkits.com You won't be disappointed.

Only dissapointment I've come across with installing them is, if the unit doesnt have a mute output and/or the radio doesnt have a mute input wire... If you have a sub setup, there is no way for the unit to cut the subs out. So even though it mutes the signal from the radio to the factory speakers when you get or are making a call, the subs will still play and you'll need to turn the radio down manually to make, or take a call.

Other than that. The units are great, and Parrot makes some of the best IMO.

i installed the jvc bt deck. it is pretty awesome. the caller does hear a slight echo after he stops talking, but it is not the type of echo that makes you unable to think. the options are great. the external mic is perfect and people can hear me well. the bluetooth connection is easy and great.
