Default Install was a success

So I got the Parrot CK3000 Bluetooth hands free kit for my car the other day and installed it last night...called people and they had no idea that they were being piped through my car speaker and talking into a microphone tucked away in the driver's a-pillar.

I am going to do some minor mods to the microphone so its not just dangling there in the corner...but this thing is SWEET!!!

I suggest it to anyone!

I drive a 2000 Prelude SH.

Virtually ANY car can have this kit. I have a Pioneer Premier 750 head unit that has a mute cable to it already.

The only downfall was I had to splice into the wire harness (NOT the factory one...the after market one) instead of an ISO connector that you can get from the distributor.

I got the kit ($99.95) for $107 after free shipping but I had to pay CA tax...

Heh...thats when you QUICKLY hit discreet mode.

You can also have up to three phones on the kit, obviously they can't work at the same time...but thats a cool thing too..and you wont pick up other peoples phones or other people wont hear you since there is a password to login to the unit that stores in your phone.

I will take pics of my finished product when I get home. I thought of taking process pictures...but the wires are a huge jumblefuck of craziness, so I decided not to.

For now you can go to www.nicestuffonline.com and see the unit and that it has to offer. (its just the distribution site, so its not sales)

If anyone wants the website where I bought it, shoot me a PM and I will give you the link...I don't know if it is kosher to post the link in the thread itself

Pics of final product.

I am going to move the microphone over to the rear view mirror since I tend to have my head pointed that way when I drive anyhow.

If you have the non-Bose factory radio, I sell a plug and play adapter so that no wires have to be cut. It is called the QCHon-1 and it makes the install a 20 minute process - see here http://members.cox.net/quickconnect
