Since California to put the hands free law in effect, can someone recommend an aftermarket bluetooth set up? Are these hard to install? Do they hook up to the cars speakers? And send me some links on which one to get or model number. Thanks!

 

From reports i have heard Parrot has some of the best and most wide ranging offers.Check them out at

they even have some that act as mp3 players as well.

 

parrot hands down

 

If you don't have Nav, you might also consider getting a Garmin Nuvi with Bluetooth (not all Nuvis have it). That's what I use in my M3.

Does the CA law allow Bluetooth headsets? If so the Aliph Jawbone is awesome for car use (because of its excellent noise canceling tech).

 

I have the Parrot MK6100 on my 4runner. Works like a charm. People I talked to do not even know IMm on BT, unless i have the windows down. It comes with external mic as well so I just placed it on the driver side visor.

Now the whole system is an overkill for alot of people. It just do OEM integration very well (muting the radio audio automatically for incoming and outgoing calls) But MK6100 also has a very nice LED display and wireless remote buttons for PICK up and Hang up button.

This device also does streaming audio from your phone (iPhone for example) will sync and play all your music library through your car stereo. Feature I never used since I am a Sirius subscriber.

I hear that Parrot does seem to have the best compatibility list and their tech support is one of the best.
