Parrot Bluetooth

I want to install Bluetooth in my '05 E500. I saw a unit from Parrot Bluetooth that has an LCD screen and was told cost $600.00 installed.

The unit has an LCD screen and will link to your cell and has voice
recognition
Does any one have any knowledge of this product?

Check out eurocarphone.com. They have a fully integrated solution available now (albeit very basic) that allows you to use your car's steering wheel controls. They are expecting to have an all-options device ready by the end of the month. Go check it out, all the info is on their website.

From what I hear, Parrot kits work well. But, IMHO they are ugly and not worth ruining the look of a car like an E500.

I do not care for added appendages either , but I did like the part that would show a picture of who was calling in color. I will try eurocarphone a month is not too long to wait for the added convience.
