Parrot buying advice

    Im thinking of buying a parrot hands free kit, namely one that plays music from an analogue sound source, the mki9100 (http://www.expansys.ie/d.aspx?i=172846) is what I had in mind.

    Whats the quality like on these, I have seen some bad reports against them, but that could just be down to dodgy installation.

    How difficult to install are they ? are the mic and remote wireless ?

    Finally, are there any alternatives ? I dont really care about phone handsfree, just a way to get my ipod on the stero without replacing my current radio. I was using a tape deck up until now, but I manged to knacker the tape drive. I have used a fm transmitter before and they are just plain lousy, even compared to the tape.

    The mic/screen wouldn't be wireless, but the remote says it's RF so would be. If it attaches to your steering wheel rather than mounting on the dash it would have to be. They're generally pretty good in quality and are reasonably easy to install if you know what you're doing in terms of the wiring, and removing and replacing the fascia console sections to hide wires.

    Overall though - for the same money you'd get a nice head unit with an aux-in slot on the front, and it would generally be handier to install.

    I have a good head unit as it happens, but as the car is newish its got a fancy fascia and remote control on the steering wheel, i really wouldnt like to stick the the radio I have, would look fairly ugly.
