Has anyone messed around much with aftermarket Bluetooth systems? I was thinking of something in the lines of a Parrot CK3100 for my car. That unit seems to be the one mentioned most often, but I'm curious if there are other units I should consider.

The plan is to install this into my 2009 Honda Accord LX-P. I found a company that does the wire harnesses, so I shouldn't need to do any significant wirecutting, etc. I've never done this type of electronics work on my car before, but I have a friend who did it for his BMW without any problems and will help me out with this. Any advice or things I should keep in mind? Thanks y'all.

I've got an '09 EX V6 and will probably go with the oem-ish solution from College Hills Honda. Its a little more than the Parrot, but looks stock and fits right in the sunglasses holder. I'm not really a fan of aftermarket doo-dads all over my dash.

The company I work for manufactures a unit. Ours are all plug-and-play with no cutting and splicing required. PM me with any questions.

Thanks for the suggestions. dmidkiff, my father actually has the Blueconnect installed in his Sonata. It works pretty well, but I'd like a system that I can also stream radio with.

incredibill: I'll take a look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.
