Product Description
Highly Recommended! The first Bluetooth handsfree car kit which allows you to place calls while driving and keeping your phone in your pocket. The Parrot CK3000 allows you to exploit your travel time and convert it into a professional activity, especially when you are caught up in a traffic jam. Based on Parrot's own technology and powered by its Chip "Parrot3", Parrot CK3000 provides robust Voice Recognition and performs Full Duplex Echo Cancellation, making it resistant to noise and double-talk. The user can place a call with his phone in his pocket or briefcase. Parrot CK3000 gives drivers hands-free and voice-activated use of every mobile phone supporting Bluetooth, regardless of manufacturer. It can store up to 500 names and the voice recognition dialler uses the mobile phone automatically. This product is a real revolution, more than a simple car kit, it brings you a new way to communicate in your car. Interoperability tests of the palmOne Tungsten with the CK3000 have been successful. The Tungsten is Bluetooth-ready, and allows to wirelessly import phonebook entries from OBEX-compatible Bluetooth phones. You can place calls through the car kit by selecting any entry in the PDA's address book, without ever touching the phone. Supports voice recognition depending on the phone it is used with. Please note: We recommend that you test the car kit before installation as they cannot be returned after installation. Please follow the installation instructions carefully and read all safety information.

 Great hands free kit October 2, 2008
C. DIXON (England)
This is now my 3rd Parrot hands free kit and I wouldn't look at any other option. Its very well priced (so well in fact I tend to leave them in my car when I sell and treat myself to a new one!), has great features, sound quality and with the right adapter is easy to fit. Its best features are it comes on with your ignition, automatically pairs with your phone, offers voice dialling, answering, along with magic word recognition. It even replays your recorded voicetag of the person calling. You just leave youre phone in your pocket and forget its there :-) I favour this CK3000 evo model as its more discreet. (make sure you get the Evo version though!)
Excellent value for money
 Rubbish Bluetoth device December 17, 2007

I got this device installed in my new Merc but find it very annoying to use, in my old Toyota I had a motorola handsfree which was simple to use, I could tell it what I wanted to do, dial a number, call someone... I could store all voice tags on the device and it even told me what number was calling or who is calling if voice tag installed.
Can't seem to do any of that on this device and sound quality is bad, only seems to come out of 1 speaker, probably not installed properly!
Avoid Halfords do it yourself it is easy !! December 16, 2007

Went to halfords as free fitting, first mistake, after having the car all day got a call saying it was impossible to fit into my new Zafira SRI because of an antiroll bar in the dashboard....
Got the car back, they had scrathed all the stereo and around the dashboard slot, also there are panels that are fitted back wrong and are now distorted.
So i used the web discount and fitted myself in 30 mins and tested, was a bit tight to get in yes but all fitted in ok.
So my advice is:
1. Get a Parrot they are the best and work with any phone also get one from here as it is half the price,
2. also dont forget you connector lead, this makes things easier as it just goes in line, i paid 15
3. dont let halfords mess up your car, they can't be trained they are really shoddy.
4. Fit it yourself, it's really easy.
 Beware! September 6, 2007

I bought this item from Halfords (1st mistake), as they offered free fitting and I wasn't comfortable pulling apart the dashboard of my Clio.
They charged me 99, but I since found out that is way over the top for price (so it isn't really free fitting is it!).
The first problem I encountered was that it didn't seem to retain all the information after I switched off the ignition. Then I realised that it didn't switch off at all and finally I realised that my cigarette lighter socket didn't work! All of these were down to it not being fitted properly by Halfords. They had missed that Renault Clio's have reverse polarity on the chassis (even though there is a BIG warning on the Parrot fitting instructions) and they hadn't re-connected the power lead to the Cig Lighter after messing about - hence my sat-nav went flat half way to a destination!
On the actual item itself, there are still a few niggles which you ought to consider:
1. If you have to re-record the info for a contact, the CK3000 Evo will treat it as a NEW contact, and when you say the voice tag, if it is the same as the OLD voice tag (i.e. same persons name) then the Evo will probably revert to the old data because it was the first one recorded.
2. The bog-standard microphone is a bit sensitive to background noise, especially if (Halfords) have fitted it to the right hand side of your car by the door at the top, where all the wind noise occurs in most cars. Make sure that they fit it between the curtesy light and your sun visor (as advised in the Parrot fitting instructions!!)
3. The Evo does not have any "review" facility for the numbers stored in it, unless you own one of a select number of different(old) Sony Ericcson phones. The T39 is one of them, and so is the T610. So if you want to check what numbers you have in the EVO, buy one of these old phones too.
Better still, buy the Parrot 3200 LS-COLOR PLUS, (NOT the Parrot 3200 LS-COLOR) and have all of these great functions built-in for a few quid more.
Parrot CK3000 - a must have July 30, 2007

I bought the ck3000 when they first came out and i have been pleased with it ever since. I have never had any problems with it, it works perfectly. Much cheaper than getting a 60 fine and 3 points on the license now that the new law is in. It is extremely clear even at fast speeds. I have recommended this advance piece of equipment to many people and they all agree that this is one classy product. Have also been most impressed with the way the music mutes automatically when a call is incoming. If you get it make sure that your car has an ISO connection. If not a way round to fitting it to the car is to buy a SOT (Sounds On Top) lead from halfords at about 19.99. However if your car has an aftermarket stereo in then it will not need the SOT lead (just a little tip).
