The Parrot CK3100 turns out to be perfect - supports voice calling, syncs the address book, kills the radio when you try to dial out or when you get a call - Sa-weet! The HK drive+play totally rocks - the UI is comfortable and very responsive, the display looks great, and the sound quality is sublime (the installer spliced it straight into the FM antenna so it's not using a transmitter). The knob on the left of the gear shift drives the iPod - it has the 4 buttons and you rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise to simulate the iPod's clickwheel. The display is clear and sleek - matches the Harman Kardon sound system that came with the BMW. To quote the Car Toys sales guy - "Rightous, dude"! (Total damage - $1300 - about $800 for the installation including all the brackets, $400 for the equipment, and $100 tax - totally worth it!)
