    Hi guys

    Anyone have any experience with the IO play 2 Bluetooth kit?

    Bought a 09 focus which doesn't have integrated Bluetooth :/

    Reading reviews it's decent for music streaming?

    My wife has one in her car.
    It's a decent kit, but I prefer the Parrot MKi that I have in my car.

    I have one in my car. Great bit of kit. Brought with me from last car and all. Chose it over parrot as has a better amp for playing music which I do a good bit. Also no wires to be messing around with. No issues with it either have it year and half or so.

    No wires? The controller is wired? The screen is wireless?

    Thanks for the reviews lads!

    I mean the music is streamed via Bluetooth so I don't have to plug phone in at all just handier. It's tidy bit of kit just the controller and display.

    How are you finding it?

    I have the io play 2 for about 4 months. Last weekend it cut off mid song and never came back on. My iPhone can't detect any bt network, the screen won't light up but the buttons have the white lights on it.

    Brought to halfords. Said so many problems they are dropping the range. Need to go back to get a parott fitted. Gutted

    No one is able to get IO kits at the moment, it's not a question of the quality of the product despite what Halfords might be saying.

    Maybe so. iO not offering much support in relation to tech or CS. I wonder are they winding down operations? Such a pity.

    Either way, Halfords reduced the price recently (70Euro Online) and dont stock them anymore.

    They don't stock them anymore because they can't. There's none available to stock.
