Bluetooth hands-free phone? - Toyota Yaris Forums

*tk-421* · 08-20-2007, 07:02 PM

I personally have the Parrot CK3100-LCD installed on my Yaris. I like the fact that I have the screen, since I can screen calls and have access to my contact list on the fly.

I installed mine to the left of the steering wheel, so it doesn't get in the way. My kit came with professional installation included in the price, so they placed all the cables under the trims and dash, and I must say the results are impressive.

The microphone was installed on top of the steering wheel base, and it not really visible at all (unless you're looking for it), while at the same time being close enough for people to actually hear you on the other side.

All in all, I am very pleased with this model. I would definitely recommend the LCD screen, since the smaller CK3000 is just way too small and doesn't really offer much in the way of features.

One more thing you should check before you actually buy the unit is the phone compatibility list to see if your phone's bluetooth qualifies. It'll save you a few headaches in the end.

Hope this helps you out! I would post some pics of the installation, but my car is being worked on at the moment.

That sounds great. When you get your car back, I'd love to see a pic or 2 of the exact install location of the display unit and the mic. Then I'll decide whether I should have a pro do it, or if I'm brave enough to do it myself.

I owned two other cars that had hands-free ('06 Cooper S and '04 Acura TL) and I really miss it. My Yaris doesn't know I'm looking into it so it'll be a surprise. :) ha.

Get your car back yet? I know it's probably not your top priority, but I'm anxious to see a picture of where you've got this thing installed.
