After initailly recieving my first unit, i had to return it, as it locked up on a regular basis. When i recieve my replacement unit, it paired and synchronised my phone book as per the instructions.
I have used the unit now for a number of weeks and am pleased with its performance, the sound is reasonably good and battery life excellent.
One slightly annoying issue is the "Voice recognition" engine, it sometimes struggles with my northern dialect and i find myself having to speak in a more electro-synthetic style to get the unit to recognise the tag.
Then i hear you say "You can record your own Voice tags".
According to the instructions and parrot's web site you can.
But i have had two of these units and neither came with Voice Tagging in the menu, so i beleive this to be a Quality Check issue in the UK 1.03V Software version.
If i'm correct the previous MiniKit version, also had an upgrade option in it's menu, mine does not.
I contacted Parrot support helpdesk about the missing Voice Tag menu and the upgrade option, they replied, saying it would appear in the software update. My concern is that i won't be able to update even with Parrots update software, because i dont have the option to put it in to upgrade mode.
I'm still rating this with 4 Stars even with the missing feature sets.

If you've been used to a built-in system, as I had been in my Nissan (also a Parrot system), then this is something of a disappointment. I find it clumsy to operate and having it attached to the sun-visor doesn't help when you want to answer or place a call whilst on the move. Muting/pausing/switching off your stereo, then reaching up and trying to find the right button to answer a call by feel, whilst keeping your eyes on the road, isn't really a very safe manoeuvre. It would be much better if you could answer a call by saying "Answer".
On the plus side, the speaker is surprisingly good, although my car is pretty quiet. If you have a sports car, or convertible, I would think this unit would be hard to hear. Apparently, the call quality at the other end is very good (according to my wife). I have found it impossible to update the firmware with Parrot's software application - it just freezes whilst flashing. Maybe because I am using Vista. I have asked Parrot technical support for help (they are generally pretty good - I have had Parrot units before and they were very helpful). Pairing with my iPhone was a little cumbersome I have to say, and I haven't managed yet to pair with my wife's N95 - it just won't do it. It automatically picked up the address book from the iPhone and so far, voice dialling seems to work OK, at least for the contact name - oddly, I have had to repeat "Home" or "Cellphone" many times to get it to recognise that. However, if you have contacts with foreign names, I think it's going to struggle.
Ultimately, I think I'm going to buy a Parrot MKI9200 and wire it in. I generally believe that Parrot is the best Bluetooth car-phone system, and this unit is probably good value for money at its price point, but I just wish I'd gone the whole hog from the start.

This product is light,compact and the best part is that it is fully portable. It can be paired with up to 5 mobiles so the whole family can share it. It's speaker is excellent, very clear and surprisingly loud for such a compact item. Being able to transfer your contact list from your phone to the Minikit is excellent. OK, I agree that using voice activated calling, it sometimes gets its wrong, but most of the time it works well. I believe it is state of the art in this area. All in all, a great product with good battery life and much better than having a slug stuck on your ear! Buy it!
