You never know when you're gonna line up with a C5 while talking on the phone with the wife. I'm considering the Parrot Evolution or Ck3100. Any ideas or experiences with car kits would be mucho appreciated!

Default I just had the Parrot installed in my other car. It's awesome. Automutes the radio, sound comes...

from the car's speakers. You have the little display read out which is by far the best feature since you can see caller ID with the phone in your pocket.

Also, your phonebook transfers to the little device when it links so you can dial without using the phone. You can also dial a random number using the **** on the display piece.

It's very cool.

FWIW, I've used the Motorola and the Sony bluetooth kits and the Parrot blows them both away.

Default I don't have any pics yet - actually, they wouldn't help really since it was installed in a........

different car (not an S4) -

I'm a gadget junky and this is one of the cooler gadgets I have!

Make sure you mount the display where you'd have easy access to the control **** and viewing screen since you really use this a lot.

Having a bluetooth kit without a display and way to dial your numbers was almost useless since you needed your phone for EVERY single thing. This kit is stand alone. You need NO access to the phone to do everything!

Default Talk to Rob

There's a poster on the allroad forum who goes by "uber ar". His real name is Rob and he runs smartphonedepot.com, a wireless accessory site. He knows all the ins and outs of the hands-free kits and how to install them in Audis. Good prices, too.

Default the moto v710 can interpret all commands including digit dial.

This is why I felt I didnt need the parrott, i just speak the #'s to my phone and it dials them.
