Default Parrot MKI9200 - Anyone got one

Bought the Parrot rki8400, full head unit job that takes iphone inside and plays your music does the handfree the lot, but im not massivly impressed by it, sometimes doesnt connect, crashes the phone about 5 times a day, randomly changes music tracks, doesnt let me know if ive had a text, and if i do have to take face of stereo, unplug phone etc, just to get to it.
So basically want to know if the MKi9200 is any good, as im thinking of changing

Yes. I got my missus one when I changed her car [at least I think it's the same one pic below]. They're SHIT for connecting to the ipod over the data cable, you have to plug and unplug loads of times and it has a mind of it's own as to whether or not it'll work. I haven't tried my iPhone with it to see if you can send music via BT.

I've decided to ignore it as whenever I mention it, I get moaned at.

This one:

thanks for the replies, ill lok into something else then. but would not recommend the head unit version, even through data cable its crap, and at over £200 notes could have got a cheap head unit with a aux in socket instead.

so cqa anyone recommend a good head unit to play music off the iphone and a good hand free kit for iphone, as me and other half spend 12 hours plus our vans so I would have to get 2 of them so dont want to be spending too much

parrot ck3100 is rock solid as a bluetooth kit for your phone. I've had them in every car in the family since they came out.
