PhoneArena Reviews the Parrot LS-GPS Car Kit
Posted by Ekkie Tepsupornchai in "ARTICLE" @ 04:00 PM
"This time we're testing Parrot 3400 LS-GPS – a high-level car kit, featuring color display and an integrated GPS for navigation via smartphone or Pocket PC. The kit is attached to your car's speakers so there are a few cables included in the package, as well as a universal muter which connects the device to almost any radio with ISO or other standard jacks. This box actually mutes the sounds of the music player when commencing a new call or when an incoming one occurs..."
Did he say that there are a "few cables"? Because those cables had me in a blind panic for a moment! Now of course, any car kit solution that provides this level of integration and features is going to be more involved than your average "plug-n-play" solution. I've heard some really nice remarks overall about Parrot car kits. While I don't have a Parrot car kit myself, I did recently buy a car outfitted with the same type of functionality (Bluetooth & GPS), and I can say that these car-integrated solutions are definitely a step up from the traditional BT headset when it comes to phone communications from within my car. I absolutely love it!
