With the combination of road laws that make talking on your mobile illegal while driving, plus the fact that most cars don’t have a truly intuitive way of getting your music from your iPod to your car stereo, the Parrot Mki9200 looks like a pretty good device. Apparently it’s also iPhone accredited, although that doesn’t explain why they have product shots with a Nokia…
The Mki9200 comes in five main parts that need to be professionally installed – an amplifier, an external microphone, a colour display, an iPod/USB line in cable and a wireless remote control, the handsfree kit will let you make phone calls handsfree, as well as play back music through your car’s stereo system.
It’ll cost $479, plus installation, so it’s a pretty pricey option, although it does seem to be a pretty complete solution, including voice recognition for contact dialling.
