I have the 3100. Ideal, but did need a firmware upgrade to sort some annoying niggles.

It plays it through your car/ van speakers.

And yes, 30%. Colour screen one £140. Non-colour screen £120, then minus 30%. The decision is yours.. lol

Can dial from parrot or voice activated and plays through your stereo.

Really good bit of kit IMO

Ive got a 3100, the guy I bought it off said the colour screen ones were prone to crashing.

I paid £80 brand new, and collected it.

Its great! You can call contacts from your phonebook without having to prerecord their names. Just press the green button on the lcd unit and say any name in ur phonebook.

Also mutes the radio when a call comes in.

Very easy to install, however, because I only run 2 amps in my car, I had to get some £1 speakers from the pound shop and mount them accordingly.

Well recommended!

Great bits of kit - my old place of work fitted them to all their reps cars/vans & no-one ever had any complaints compared to some of the other kits on the market

Hoping to get one fitted into my FRS soon when i get a chance
