Bluetooth Car Kit - Which One?

Ok now this might have been covered but I have looked and I cannot find anything on it.

What car kit do people have installed in their Mini?
I am looking at something to integrate with my MFSW and also my radio similar to the original factory one.

I am lokoing at something Bluethooth as I cahnge my mobile over every few months.

Hope someone can shed some light on this topic.

Cheers
Georgien

I've been using a Parrot CK3000 EVO kit purchased from newministuff.com. This kit integrates into the two multi-function steering wheel controls but otherwise is a plain vanilla kit. It works exactly as designed, but has no more functionality than a standard BT headset except that it mutes the stereo and pipes the audio through the car's speakers. I just purchased the new Parrot MK6100 kit to replace the CK3000 EVO. With this new kit, I'll loose my steering wheel controls, but will pick up kit-based voice reco, text-to-speech announcements of caller ID, an OLED display so I don't have to strategically place my phone's display in sight, and much better mic/speaker sound quality. I haven't yet received the kit, but hope to be able to merely swap out the box connected to the harness. More after installation is complete...
