Mold your music the way you want it!
A combination of high-quality in-car audio playback and Parrot Bluetooth hands-free. Why purchase separate hands-free equipment which normally plays back callers on a tiny in-built speaker, when you can integrate the phone system completely into your vehicles audio system. A large display also shows clearly who is calling from your phones downloaded phonebook. With all music playback paused for the duration of the conversation. Icing on the cake is the iPod/iPhone USB direct connection.
