I've searched and not seen a good thread on Hands Free / car speakers for my C6 (that play nicely with the stock Fm / Speakers). Anyone using Motorola IHF1000, T505. T606, or a Parrott?

I have a Parrot 3100 but I don't use the car's speakers. I didn't want to tear into the radio console. I had the installer use 2 speakers. Volume is much better than the one that comes with the kit. No complaints.

I have a Motorola T505.... Fits on your visor(portable) has audio caller i.d. and will stream calls and music to a radio station for playback thru your car's speakers.

I asked the same question but didn't get much response, I guess alot of people on this forum are Parrot fans...

I have a ihf1000 that i wanted to install. I found a company on here that makes a harness for the NAV for the Parrot. They did send e instructions where you cna cut the connector from the supplied harness and hardwire the ihf1000 and it even mutes on incoming calls and plays through the speakers. My laptop is "under the weather" until monday. i have the email and I can forward it to you. PM me so I can it to you.

Just installed Motorola T505 on my 08 with nav a week ago. Paired in just a couple of seconds with my cell (AT&T Tilt). Automatically pairs every time I get back into the car. Had it search out an open frequency on the fm radio and set one of the buttons on the screen to send/answer calls. T505 is totally hassle free, take 10 minutes to setup and works flawlessly.

Another more expensive option... Replace the head unit.

I thought I would share this. I've looked at I think almost every design for Bluetooth. THis one is $349 and is a single button that fits in the cigarette lighter spot. Looks really clean!
