I was at Circuit City the other day and noticed their Parrot Bluetooth car kits display. First thing I noticed was that they use a picture of the crossfire console for the display. I like the look of the Clarion head that is mentioned on here, but was also wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Parrot stuff. I don't think these heads would look to bad in the car compared to the other brands on the market right now.

I tend to agree. I was really tempted by the RK8200 but I decided to go with a Blaupunkt MP68 to stick with the whole German heritage thing.

 

I'm really happy with my Clarion FBT275. The bluetooth works great and I can have quality conversations at 45MPH with the top down. The Clarion is white so that's nice too it blends into the dash well. (There is a pic in my galery) Also it was about 1/3 the price at $99.99 instead of $279.99. That being said, the RK8200 looks pretty sweet too. Some things I like that the Clairion does not have. The pocket behind the unit to store your phone, PC synchronization for phone contacts, album art.
What I wish either or both of them had was the ability to play WMA files. The Parrot does not mention it and the Clairion definately only plays mp3.
Oh yeah, did I mention I'm selliing my oem unit on ebay. I don't really want to advertise here so PM if anyone is interesed in the link.
