Parrot MKI9200

For those wanting a top end car phone system that has the lot, you won't get better than this!

At £200 it isn't cheap, but then for the features and quality, you won't be disappointed.

I bought this from Halfords and the install in my Mondeo was perfect. There are no trailing wires, and the system really looks professionally installed. The screen sits connected to my dash and looks great! It is a colour screen 2.4inches big and has a good resolution and quality.

If you have an iPhone then this is exactly what you're after. Leaving my bluetooth on, it connects everytime once I've started my engine and has a great range of functions. Using the supplied remote (which sits nicely behind my steering wheel and can't be seen - I didn't want it attached to my steering wheel for all to see), I can dial numbers, go through my call list, go through an A-Z and with one touch of the green button, voice activated dialling... This works WAY better than I thought. If I say 'Home. Mum and Dad' it picks it up everytime without fail. I have tried it on many names and no fault once, in fact its the only way I phone people now. The call quality is fantastic, it obviously mutes the music and comes through on the car speakers. Not once have I had a drop out. The mike picks up my voice well and people often don't realise I'm driving.

The party piece is the iPhone part to be honest. Leaving bluetooth on is great, but the kit comes with three connections that sit where you want (most go for the glove box, but my Mondeo has a mini glove box next to the steering wheel which is perfect for me!) them to. The three connections are an iPhone connector, usb and line out (allowing any MP3 player). Everyday I just plug my iPhone in and not only does it charge it, I can select any music off the phone. It is perfect in every way and I no longer turn my car stereo on. I've connected a 4GB memory stick as well and that works just as well. The screen itself has a menu system which allows every tweak you could imagine. Another bonus, is the screen has an SD card slot allowing more connections! So you can connect a usb, SD card, iPhone and any MP3 player with a headphone connection! You can edit the pictures on the screen itself, change the font size, have random tracks, bass treble etc etc. The sound quality is a good as my car stereo was so I've got no complaints there!

This system really does do everything in terms of music playing! For anyone with an iPhone, it's unbeatable.

Although at first I thought it was expensive, I now feel, for what it offers, it's great value. I no longer need to worry about driving and talking and my phone is always hidden away and being charged!

Highly recommended!
