Summary: Pretty good.
Comment: I'd actually give it about a 3.75 star review, but will round up.
Installation is not simple to begin with and much more difficult in my car because the factory radio has an external amp. I had to use an install method of installing a relay, in which the procedure is not outlined in the manual. I also had a bad mic included in my kit, but Parrot immediately ground shipped a replacement.
To make installation easier, there are additional harness which can cost up to 150$ extra.
Pretty much my only annoyance with this kit is that anytime I touch my phone, it cuts out my stereo. So if I check a text message, have a low battery warning, scroll through the calendat, etc., it interrupts my stereo.
Overall, it's a nice unit with a nice display; the phonebook auto-syncs with your phone; and the bluetooth auto connects when you get in the car.

Summary: Let the Parrot Help You Talk!!
Comment: I had The Parrot CK3200 installed in my car 2 weeks ago and so far, so good! I have had no problems receiving or making calls. I have asked the people I have called, how I sound and everyone says it's very clear. To be sure, I called my house phone and left a message on my answering machine and found that the call came through crystal clear.
The one thing that you should know is that if your cell carrier is Verizon, the pictures you might have on your cell phone, do not show up on The Parrot's screen. I already knew that when I purchased this, so it did not come as a surprise to me, like it did to other reviewers.
All in all, I am impressed with this device. My cell phone information automatically synched with The Parrot, so I did not have to enter any information and I was instantly able to say "call home" and it would ask me if I said, "call home" and I said, "yes" and it called my home. There were a few times that I forgot to use the command, "call" and it had me repeat the command. My brother also has The Parrot and loves it. With new laws effective tomorrow, I am glad I purchased this and had it installed when I did. Two thumbs up!

Summary: Parrot 3200- Great!
Comment: I originally bought the non color version, 3100 I believe, however the mic was not in the box. Best Buy split the difference so I could upgrade to the 3200 and I love it. I have a Blackberry 8120 and it syncs perfectly every time I get in the car. Voice recognition worked out of the box; no tagging involved (I believe the unit taps into the voice recognition software that Blackberry uses for this). It mutes my stereo ever time there is audio coming from the unit, and the interface is quite user friendly. The only issue I have with this product is the installation mount. The mount that comes with it is for a flat surface, like the top of the dash board. I wanted to mount it on the vertical surface of my dashboard, velcro seemed to be the only option. I eventually found a vertical mount from the UK and have since ordered it.
I highly recommend this unit!!!

Summary: Excellent
Comment: The Parrot works great once you figure it out. The directions that come with it need help. You'll need to purchase the correct wire harness for you car seperatly. I did the install my self and took about 1hr to do. It took longer to get the phone to work with all the features.

Summary: After 18 months
Comment: I have had the ck3200 for near two years now and have had it installed in 2 different vehicles. I will highly recommend this product for safety minded drivers! Most of the reviews you have read are fairly accurate. It pairs very easy with bluetooth capable phones. However, what you need to know is the following: if possible have the mini-microphone mounted as close to your driving position as possible. I have mine mounted right above my speedometer. Also, make sure that you have the internal mic up all the way. The sound is wonderful when receiving a call...but I spent most of the first year with folks not being able to hear me very well.

Parrot, the world's first company to produce Bluetooth car kits, has launched the CK3200 LS-COLOR Advanced Car Kit for drivers who want wireless hands-free phone function with easy-to-read LCD display. The 64mmx58mmx20mm dash-mounted color LCD screen displays information including Caller ID for both incoming and outgoing calls, adding Photo ID when photos are programmed into the address portion of either your car kit or phone. Photos can be used as wallpaper. The CK3200 LS-COLOR also allows you to browse your phone's address book and provides a visual menu that's easy to see at a glance. Personalized mobile phone features, including ringtones, transfer to the car kit.Like all of Parrot's installed Bluetooth car kits, the CK 3200 LS-COLOR automatically mutes the vehicle's radio or CD player and uses the speakers for phone audio. Voice recognition and voice activation features allow drivers to make calls, take calls, and access a 150-name address book without taking their hands off the wheel.Parrot's CK3200 LS-COLOR is compatible with the vast majority of Bluetooth-enabled phones regardless of carrier or manufacturer. With Parrot products, the car kit is automatically ready to go whenever your vehicle is turned on. Simply start the engine, drive and talk hands-free.

Wireless technologies are more and more popular because they linked the mobile network and Internet together. One of these modern technologies are Wireless LAN (WLAN), Bluetooth,
and Wireless Application Protocol
(WAP) are implemented as an extension to or
as an alternative for wired LAN to make the
communication more flexible and powerful to fulfill today’s need.
WLAN is one of the modern one, effectively Ethernet without wires.
It helps users to access a data network like the
Internet at high speeds of up to 11 megabits per
second (Mbps) as long as users are located
within a relative short range (typically 30–50
meters indoors and 100–500 meters outdoors)
of a WLAN base station (or antenna). This is a good alternative to most laptop users to assess Internet and getting popular most part of the developed world.
