Interesting. I read pages 1-3 and 5. It looks like it works so I guess go for it. A concern I would have is the series of buttons you have to push to get things to work. Also, there is not a kit out there that displays who is calling right now. I already have a Motorolla kit I installed in my car and I tell you, hands free is sweet. I have the HF850 kit that we sell at work. If any of you are interested in the kit we sell it for like 260ish installed. I like the fact that I can talk and shift at the same time. It is also handy with all of those idiots out there who can't drive...I can concentrate on them better.

yeah ive heard of that kit, sounds pretty cool. the one guy on the vortex forums said that with the one that works with the button, it would tell u whoss calling but it will say it. but i dunno he mighta been talking about a dif one

i think more intresting than that is the MKV's ability to recieve digital TV signals --- course you have to have the navigation unit, but in US spec versions its removed, the button that says 'MUTE' whould really say "TELE"

all you'd need is the digital tv tuner that connects to the rear of the unit. that'd be handy on road trips for your passengers or if your stuck in traffic :TU:

My X5 has a tv tuner option in europe as well there are alot of interfaces that use that input to hook up a video switcher so you can run dvd/video games/satellite tv into your cars system and have it display on the dash...also depending on if they work with the phone interface on the car parrot's higher end units (everything above the CK3100) has a display that will tell you who is calling and the top end even displays photos (if you have a picture ID with a person's number it will display on the readout)
