I do recommend the Parrot, although mine is the basic 3000 version. My only complaint is that the voice dialling does not really work on the move. I also read that the phonebook/ screen does not work very well with some phones. The forums at Expansys have some posts about this. You are right the installation is starightforward but took me some time. I found quite alot of info and some pics by googling `parrot install` etc.. There are a number of firms selling at least two varieties of SOT cable. I think a phone call or a visit is a good idea, the installation chap at my local Halfords not only confirmed which cable I needed but gave me a few pointers on how to install it easily.
