In recent years, the bluetooth market has exploded with all sorts of solutions to pair your phone with your vehicle. The most recognised of these solutions is the Parrot Bluetooth range, offering a comprehensive collection of devices suited to everybody.

Although the Parrot kits are value for money, a rival system is becoming increasingly popular and unless Parrot are careful, the Bury CC9060 may steal the number one top spot on today’s market.

The Bury CC9060 offers the user full voice activated calling, answering and phone book navigation. What this means is that the user does not have to even use the touch screen display available, as all functions can be accessed by spoken voice. With the ability to pair with up to 10 phones and store 1000 contacts on the kits internal memory, the Bury gives the Parrot Mki9200 a run for its money.

 You’ve done a little research into bluetooth kits and come to the conclusion that your probably going to choose parrot. They have the brand name and reputation for producing good reliable products. The problem is which parrot bluetooth kit to choose? With more than six integrated solutions on the market, which product will be the most suitable for you?

Let us help you split them down a little. Firstly they can be split into two groups the CK range and the MK range, the latter is the most recently launched. The CK Range are still the most popular bluetooth products on the market. Mainly due to the price however reliability is also a good factor especially with the parrot CK3000.

The MK range are the newest products launched onto the market and perhaps haven’t had the time to overtake the CK range in terms of popularity just yet. The main difference between the CK & MK range is the music functionality. The MKI range have an integrated solution which is compatible with iPod & iPhone and is controllable through the parrot remote control.

Each product in the range has a superior leading upwards in price, which offers an “upgrade” feature. For example the MKI9000 offers Bluetooth and Music, The MKI9100 offers the same functionality however with a upgrade small screen so you can see who’s calling & what music is playing. The MKI9200 offers an improved screen with more clarity & the ability to pull pictures from the phone. So you can see a face as well as the number. Being the newest products to market the MKI range are still more expensive than the CK range.

The main choice when choosing which parrot bluetooth option to go for is to first select your range first then choose which feature’s are most desired for you.  

Parrot have been making bluetooth kits for years, and have gained a reputation that dwarfs all competitors. When most people think of bluetooth they will always think parrot bluetooth.

However, the latest release from the acclaimed manufacturer, has nothing to do with bluetooth technology, but it still does relate to your mobile; well if you have an iPhone at least.

There are speculations circling to why they decided to make their latest product, but all of those aside, we think they just wanted to have some fun, and if it strengthens the brands reputation at the same time, then why not.

What the brainiacs in France decided to do, was create a helicopter that could be controlled from an iPhone, and if that wasn’t cool enough, they fitted forward facing and ground facing cameras that can be viewed from the phones screen. Combined with accelerometer based controls (tilting the iPhone) and a clever autopilot program, the helicopter can be flown with pinpoint accuracy by the most novice of pilots.

The AR Drone, which the helicopter is known by, uses wifi technology to connect to your iPhone, and because of this, it can also connect to an iTouch or iPad. Using a high output Li Poly battery you get up to 15 minutes fly time, which is more than enough time to exhaust your mind keeping the agile “eye in the sky” away from obstacles. The best is still to come however.

So you have a helicopter that flies by wifi from your mobile, how about you send it into battle with another drone controlled by your friend, shooting it down with missiles and other ordinance. Well obviously the average civilian cannot be trusted with real missiles, so its all virtual. Parrot call it augmented reality, as it combines virtual simulation and actual flight, the camera feed on the screen will show simulated target boxes and ordinance projected, along with tracking the enemy using colour recognition. The drone still flies around, so you need to ensure you don’t crash, unless you are out off ammo and feeling a touch suicidal…

Bluetooth Car Kit Direct are giving an AR Drone away in their Christmas competition. Anyone who purchases an integrated bluetooth system from the web site from now until the 20^th of December will automatically be entered into a prize draw. The winner will be picked at random on the 21^st, and the Drone will be delivered in time for Christmas.

Over the last few years, the internet has been flooded with "cheap" bluetooth kits, giving customers the opportunity to get a great bargain on the most recognised bluetooth brands on the market.

However, it is not a bargain when you look more closely at what you are actually buying. All the "cheap" kits are non UK stock, which posses several problems. The major drawback is that the Manufacturers will not cover the warranty if it is non UK stock purchased on the UK market place. Also when EU stock is used, sometimes foreign languages are preset onto the kit, so navigation is difficult and in rarer cases English is not even available as an option. Another disadvantage of buying Non UK stock is that no technical support will be given so if you have any issues with the kit you will be left to figure the resolution out for yourself. Currently it is apparent that the two leading manufacturers, Parrot bluetooth and Bury THD are mostly affected by Non UK "Grey Stock" and we would certainly advise you remain vigilant that the kits you are buying are genuine UK models.

Bluetooth Car Kit Direct is proud to announce that we only supply genuine UK bluetooth products, which means you get the Full 1 year warranty, full technical support, English speaking kits and on top of all of that, you are also covered by our 30 day money back Guarantee.

Fair enough the kits are priced higher than the Non UK units, but I think you will agree with us that it is worth the extra knowing that your bluetooth kit is covered if it fails in the future. We also ensure that all of the kits we sell, including parrot bluetooth are new, sealed units, where as a lot of retail companies sell the kits unsealed to their customers.

If you want a bluetooth car kit most people automatically think of the brand Parrot, it has the brand awareness that most companies would die for. Almost on the same level as google. You’ve heard of the phrase “Google it” haven’t you. Well most people contact us think parrot is bluetooth, and are unaware that other brands are available. Even though there is a competitive market for bluetooth car kits. Brands such as bury, motorola, nokia and many others are readily available most people only relate to parrot.

For all there dominance, do parrot produce the best bluetooth products especially over competitor brands that offer a very similar version?

From our experience parrot do offer very competitive kits, each kit providing something different to the other variations of parrot kits. For example the new parrot range the MKI, has three versions. The MKI9000, MKI9100 and the MKI9200. Each offers the same bluetooth and additional functions such as iPod. However each of the upgrades offer a better screen, which allows for better integration of bluetooth phone book, ipod music library and other functions. However there are other extremely good kits that offer the same level of integration and functions.

The Bury cc9060 provides excellent voice recognition software which in our opinion is second too none. Simply select voice on the screen and speak the commands you want it to perform. Its such a simple feature that really improves the functionality of the kit and adds additional safety features and value for money.

Parrot MKI range do also have this feature, although we find it a little more difficult to use.

The parrot does have some negatives, firstly the systems are difficult to use unless you purchase one with the screen & there is a lot of grey stock sold online without UK warranties. Be sure to check the parrot is genuine before hand and return it immediately if you purchase one that isn’t.

We find the Parrot brand best for several reasons including style & integration, functions & features and easy of installation. The ease of use is on par with other products but generally speaking you will be happy if you purchase parrot bluetooth 

DON’T TALK ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE WHILE DRIVING ON ANY ROADWAY’S EVER! You don’t want to get charged a hefty fine by the traffic law enforcement officers or your car, mobile phone impounded, do you? And for this reason, whenever you get in your car, connect your mobile phone to your Bluetooth car kit. Why?

A good Bluetooth car kit should be able to:

• Synchronization with your mobile phone book.

• TFT LCD monitors for display purposes

• Interphone connectivity

Here’s the problem. You just don’t know which Bluetooth car kits manufacturing brand you should go for in the market. There are SO many but are they worth it? You don’t want to shell out a few quid on that. So, how do you find out what you want and what you require? And for that, I’m here.

You see, I did a lot of research on this subject when I was searching for my kind of device. So, during that time, I found out some useful information which you may find helpful in your making the choice.

The TOP 7 of such Bluetooth car kit product brands are as follows:

• Bury THD

• Contour Design

• Iqua

• Motorola

You sure have heard the names of these world-class brands, but the problem is actually acquiring them. Most of them don’t entertain general public and you don’t know where to get them. Some of the authorized dealers turn out to be scams and it’s really hard nowadays to trust on anyone. Just when you are thinking so, I would suggest you to take a look at bluetoothcarkitdirect.co.uk. Complete quality at unreasonably low prices! You will like what you find.

Among these all, I found Parrot and Motorola to be some of the best. They come with excellent technologically up-to-date yet user-friendly features, coupled with high quality of picture and sound. If there is something called high-end functionality with marvelous quality, then these two sure are going to end up before most in the line. With superb pre-sale and post-sale customer service, I MUST say they are two of the best Bluetooth car kits producing companies out there.

If you are still thinking if you should take one or not, let me remind you that after the California enactment of the year 2006, most of the US American states are soon starting to legalize using your cell phone while driving. Recently in UK, a taxi driver was dragged to the court for trial and given points on his driving license because he was talking for over TEN SECONDS on his phone while driving a passenger on the busy London A20.

So, don’t procrastinate a second more and get a cool Bluetooth car kit to go with your mobile phone.

With all the Bluetooth car kits on the market today, the Parrot Bluetooth kits are some of the most versatile. The Minikit Slim is a discreet model that clips to your visor, which, when paired with your mobile phone, automatically synchronizes its phonebook with the list of contacts in your mobile phone. This kit is for anyone who wants all the perks of having a Bluetooth car kit, but doesn’t like the large dashboard display of some of the other kits, such as the Bury.

The Parrot PMK 5800 gives you all the benefits of a wired or wireless Bluetooth car kit, without the inconvenient (and sometimes costly) process of installation. This model plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter power supply, and once paired, the device automatically connects to your mobile phone whenever you get in the car, without your phone ever leaving your pocket or purse.

For anyone who is self-employed, or travels a lot for his or her job, a cell phone is a necessity. Missing calls while on the road is simply not an option for those who own their own business, or need to be contacted by employers or customers on a regular basis. With the creation of bylaws in many States / countys and towns prohibiting the use of cell phones while driving, a Bluetooth device is a necessity for those who use their cell phones on the road. Everyone has missed a call at some point while driving – whether because they can’t hear the phone ring, or because the phone falls under a seat or in another inaccessible location. Missing a call while driving can be a much bigger problem for self-employed people, or those who travel for work, than for the average person, who uses their mobile  phone only for personal purposes.

With a Bluetooth headset, the problems inherent with using a cell phone while driving are ameliorated, or eliminated. Missed calls are a thing of the past, because the Bluetooth device is always accessible, and audible. Users won’t have to worry about being pulled over and cited for using a phone while driving, because in most of the places where using a mobile phone is prohibited, Bluetooth devices are still allowed, because the driver can still keep his or her hands on the wheel while talking. Also, the chances of getting involved in a collision are lessened, because drivers’ reaction time is unimpeded with a hands-free device. And for those who spend a large portion of their time driving company vehicles, or their own commercial vehicles, anything that lessens the chances of a collision is certainly a benefit.

To miss a call could mean missing a sale or business opportunity. In the current climate every single opportunity could make the difference between staying afloat or sinking. If your business depends on you being on the road you cant afford not to answer the phone, and bluetooth is the only safe and legal way of doing so.

A Bluetooth Car Kit is a device that provides a safe and convenient way to communicate whilst driving. Your Phone can connect to the Car Bluetooth kit and ensure you and other road users remain safe.

The Roads in the UK are very dangerous, more and more vehicles are released on to them every year, as well as the millions of older vehicles already motoring. More people are learning to drive and people are staying on the roads for longer durations, whether it is through profession, leisure or convenience.

The problem that we face now is a craze that started at the time of the mass production of mobile phones. People have become dependent on phones ever since they were made mobile, especially when an incoming call is made. Obviously when driving it’s much more dangerous to be involved in a manual phone call, not only endangering the life of the driver but the lives of other road users.

The Danger comes two fold, firstly the act of physically removing your hands from the steering wheel, reducing the ability to react to any situation that may occur in front. Although many people think they are capable driving with effectively one arm studies show that driving performance is reduced significantly

The Second and more important problem occurs with braking eye contact from the road while looking for the mobile phone. Obviously while you aren’t looking what’s happening in front when driving you can’t react to anything that may happen. Significantly reducing the time in which the driver has to react. This is in most cases the more dangerous factor.

Several organisations and charities studying the effects of phone driving also suggest that people becoming too “involved” in the conversation may cause an accident, however there will be many occasions that the driver may become involved in an aspect or activity other than driving that may cause an accident.

The solution to this problem is the use of a Bluetooth Car Kit, Parrot are the market leaders in the field however other products are available. Bluetooth car kits enable you to connect your mobile phone through the car audio system wirelessly so you can make and receive calls, text messages and now more modern kits allow music streaming, iPod connections and voice recognition.

Using a Bluetooth kit reduces the two most significant dangers while phone driving, the easy answer / hang up functions means you don’t have to remove your hands from the wheel, and your eyes can remain on the road while you use the phone.The invention of the Bluetooth kits definitely improves driver safety when using the phone, and parrot continues to lead the way!
