Default Info ref Parrot RHYTHM N'BLUE, CD/MP3/Bluetooth car receiver

Parrot Bluetooth appears to be very good for their other products. I
imagine it is a standard clone CD/MP3 headunit of useable but not
magnificant quality, but making up for it with the combined bluetooth
handsfree appearing semi integrated (not quite as tidy as a modern
"built in" head unit and handsfree).


I've just bought a Pioneer DEH-P55BT, which is a similar product for a few
extra shekels. I can tell you what that is like once I get it installed, if
you are interested.

Just looking at the specs for differences, the Pioneer has features like IP
Bus (i.e. external DAB, MultiCD units) and supports wired steering wheel and
IR remote control. The Parrot seems to have a full telephone keypad for
dialling and a better screen. (There is also a Pioneer DEH-P70BT with a good
screen, but for more money).
