Why is it a secret, a simple "yes" or "no" should be fine for the forum, you don't have to say the name of your mistress if Parrot is showing that on the cluster.

Id like to know too...
Whats the rough cost and whats involved in fitting it.

The Parrot does not display in the cluster, but the Parrot display is more than clear enough to see the contacts.
I also found that the voice recognition from the phone (iPhone) is better than the Parrot VR.

I have had the Parrot system in my S Class for a number of years, the one thing I will say is not to have the unit too far away from normal driving line of sight, or too far away from steering wheel. Otherwise, when driving, it becomes too much of a distraction when trying to make a call from the list, receiving is no problem as it is only a one touch answere. Making a call via the phone book can be distracting. Having said all the above, I have yet to try the speach recognition system within Parrot.

I have programmed in all the numbers I am likely to want to call why I am driving. Then a quick press on the steering wheel answer button and just say the name of the person you want to call and the parrot repeats the name and dials the number. I never need to touch the parrot. As you say its best positioned where you can see it without looking too far away from your driving line of sight. Thats why I had the pop up cubby hole lid drilled. The fitter was a bit hesitant. I said if I sell the car either the parrot goes with it or I get a replacement lid off ebay for a few quid

I paid 275 complete including fitting and he also ran a wired in feed for my Sat nav as the fag lighter socket is in the most stupid position MB could have come up with. In the passenger foot well !!!!!!
