“I immediatley invested in my Parrot CK3000 after...”

★★★★★

written by martinrobinson on 18/05/2011

I immediatley invested in my Parrot CK3000 after hearing a friend receive a call on his whilst in his car.

The kit itself consists of a number of components and most of these are hidden away when the parrot is installed. Along with these components comes quite a lot of wiring but this is also hidden away after installation. Once installed the only parts of the parrot visible are the small three button interface which mounts discreetly to the dash board and the microphone which is usually mounted near to the interior light on the ceiling.
During the editing of this review I have uploaded pictures of my own Parrot which is installed in my car. I hope these pictures help to illustrate just how tidy and discreet the Parrot is once installed.

When I bought my parrot I decided to have a go at installing it myself as the kit comes with clear and concise illustrated instructions. The installation took me around half an hour to complete and I found it to be suprisingly easy. I have no electronics experience and this was the first time i had removed my car stereo/cd player. The installation involves wiring the parrot to the back of your car stereo/cd player and hiding a lot of the hardware behind the stereo. after this the small three button interface is mounted to the dash board and the mic installed to the ceiling. (see pics).
This parrot uses the cars own stereo speakers so there are no speakers to install like other handsfree kits.

Once the parrot is installed you can use the menu to pair your mobile phone to it via bluetooth. The parrot has a facility to pair with up to three phones if more than one driver uses your car. Once your phone is paired to the parrot they will automatically connect with each other whenever you get in the car (so long as the bluetooth is switched on on your phone).
This particular parrot has no screen so when using the menu the options are read out by the device through the car speakers. I have found this very easy to use.

My parrot is paired with my iphone so to call someone all i have to do is press the green button and say the contacts name. This uses my iphones voice command feature so no need for adding voice tags. For some phones you may have to assign voice tags to your contacts so that the device knows who to call. This is done on the parrots menu.
When you receive a call your ringtone comes through the car speakers and you answer the call by pressing the green button on the user interface.

The sound quality is very good and sharp. The volume is adjusted on the menu and the max volume is very loud. I have spoken to family members after calling them on the parrot and their feedback is always that they couldnt tell any difference in the sound quality during the call.
This device cost me around £70.00 from Halfords which does sound to be a bit on the pricey side to be honest. It is a lot of money to spend but I can confirm that this device is worth every penny. Especially when the cost of a fixed penalty ticket for using a handheld device whilst driving is £60.00, plus three penalty points on your driving licence!

To sum up this parrot is easy to install, easy to use and has very good quality sound. The best part of course is that it makes calling safer and road legal.

I would recommend this to all drivers.
