Bluetooth kits? Parrot etc

[massiveCoRbyn]

Anyone got any experience of anything like this? Have just bought a cheap Vectra C as a daily/tow car and obviously it doesn't have Bluetooth or anything that fancy. I don't really want to change the factory head unit, but would like Bluetooth for my phone and, if possible, music. Has anyone tried any of the aftermarket Bluetooth gadgets like Parrot etc? Any recommendations?

I had a parrot system in the 200 and it was pretty decent. Could play music through it.

Can’t go wrong with parrot I had it in a head unit and worked well, but you can get dash mounted with different specs

Cheers chaps. Which models did you guys use?

My M3 had a parrot kit in. Very good imo. Music streaming worked fine

Can I ask what it was like for steaming music. I’m thinking of get the same one fitted to my car. I’ve read a review on another forum that says it’s great for phone calls but not brilliant at playing music.

The one I had streamed music from my iPhone without any issues at all mate

Offering an alternative, we have a Pure Highway 600 in our Mini. I chose this over a new head unit as with the Mini a head swap is a real PITA.

The DAB/BT receiver is actually in the small box attached to the screen aerial, the head unit you see is just the controller. I have the DAB/BT receiver pugged into the aux in but wireless is also possible.

DAB reception is great for me and I have streamed to it from an iphone with no issues.
