Jim , which Parrot kit do you have? I have the PARROT CK3100 which you can set up to Auto answer, and also activate voice recognition for outgoing calls, so gives you true hands free, mine works pretty well with my phone but I have no experience of using an Iphone with it. One thing which is easy to check is whether the mic connection is loose, mine got knocked out when I was fitting my connects2 box and just required re-plugging in, its just a plain jack plug connection

cheers

Or... you could look into the MKi9200 which does music and stuff too. got one in the Volvo, works a treat.. Bit more expensive than the 3000 but it's still plug and play.

Mine looks like the CK3100, but more square. It might be an obsolete model. But on the MKi9200, does the display show track info from your iPod and how do you control the iPod? Looks interesting as the Dension thingy isn't up to much either

Default Mki9200

Is quality....you can play track via Bluetooth from your iPhone or connect via the iPhone cable and you scan through tracks like an iPod on the parrot screen....the only thing is it hooks up by interrupting the sound feed from the Rns/stereo to the speakers....and unfortunately there is no way of controlling fade and balance so it kinda ruins the sound quality of the music....otherwise very good indeed.

I thought mine did fade and balance.. Have you updated to latest firmware?

The MKi9200 also lets you have 2 phones connected, though only one syncs contacts.

I've got a little HDD connected to it, and there's a little remote control doohickey (wireless) that runs the show.

Default Parrot fade balance

Maybe my inability to find the fade/balance options....I do have the latest firmware....it was the first thing I did
